Key Features & Workflow
1. Company Registration & Admin Approval Process
- End users (B2B customers) can apply to register their company directly from your Shopify storefront.
- Company registration requests go to store administrators for review.
- Admins review and approve company registrations through the miniOrange app dashboard.
- Only approved companies can access your B2B storefront.
2. Automatic Employee Assignment
- Once a company gets approval, employees are automatically assigned to that company using domain-based provisioning.
- When a user signs up with an email address (e.g., john@company.com), the system checks if the company domain (company.com) is approved.
- If approved, the user is assigned to that company right away, eliminating the need for manual assignment.
3. Content Visibility Control
- You can limit certain pages, products, or collections to users assigned to a company only.
- B2B-specific content, sensitive pricing, and product catalogs are hidden from unverified visitors.
- Admins can allow access to specific public pages for general visibility while keeping all B2B-specific content private.
- Only authorized company members can view and access the restricted content.
4. Granular Access Control
- You have complete control over who can access your Shopify Plus storefront.
- Non-B2B users and visitors who are not logged in cannot view B2B content.
- You can set role-based permissions for company members to manage what they can see or handle.
- This keeps your store organized and available only to verified business customers.
5. Secure Authentication
- Multiple authentication methods are supported, including username/password, OTP, and SSO.
- The login experience is integrated into the storefront, so there are no external redirects.
- Custom authentication flows provide secure access for B2B customers.
