Restriction products

Hello Luke,

Thank you for purchasing our plugin, And apologies for the late reply, we have been working reduced hours during the Holiday period - as we are starting work again normally, we should be much more responsive going forward.

1. To make guests and B2C users see only 3 products, you can simply set manual visibility for each of your products: invisible or visible for b2c/guests.

You can follow the instructions here: https://b2bkingplugin.com/docs/faq-product-visibility-is-not-working-how-to-set-up-product-visibility/ .

For your 3 products that are invisible you would go to the product page and scroll down to manual visibility, and set the items as invisible for guests/B2C like this:

2.

Subaccounts inherit the visibility of their parent account. So if the main account can see X items, subaccount sees X as well.

If you need subaccounts to have no restriction, the main account must have no restriction as well. You can create a B2B Group for the accounts that have no restriction and add your customers with subaccounts in that group.

3.

Try to add this Code Snippet to your functions.php or to any code snippet plugin:

/**
 * Replace 'customer' role (WooCommerce use by default) with your own one.
**/
add_filter('woocommerce_new_customer_data', 'wc_assign_custom_role', 10, 1);
function wc_assign_custom_role($args) {
  $args['role'] = 'subscriber';
  
  return $args;
}

It should set the default role to subscriber.

4.

If you run into issues with the configuration, you can also give us a temporary login to your site and we are happy to try and configure things for you. For that, please tell us which products you need hidden/visible.

Wishing you a Happy and Prosperous New Year ahead,

Kind Regards,

Stefan

Hi Luke,

Glad I could help,

If you need to set things up differently for some B2C customers, I would advise you to create a "B2B Group" for them.

In the first plugin versions, "B2B Groups" were simply called "Groups" - we renamed them to improve the interface/plugin ease of use. The plugin code doesn't understand that a group is B2B or B2C. It only understands that a group should be treated differently than regular users. 

Or is there any reason why you could not place these customers in a B2B group?

Kind Regards,

Stefan

Hello Luke,

And my apologies for the delayed reply with this,

I think your screenshot is mostly correct.

My thoughts are that the best way to handle this is:

1. You have a group named AGENTS which can see all items. Their subaccounts will also be able to see all items. These users can create subaccounts and send them to end customers.

2. All other users are in the B2C group - that means that also they can't access b2b features such as subaccounts - users in the B2C group can't create subaccounts. When you check "Enable Subaccounts" that does not apply to B2C users.

So I think you only need these 2 groups, B2C (default group), and AGENTS.

Kind Regards,

Stefan

Hi Luke,

I understand some more options for extra B2C groups might be helpful, but it's not currently possible with the plugin's design.

I am trying to think of alternative solutions for how you can achieve your desired setup.

Just to clarify this, Subaccount users are considered the same as parent accounts (in this case the plugin would give them the same visibility options as it gives agents).
