Sub Account - Order from same address

Hello Nic,

Thank you for purchasing our plugin!

Regarding your questions:

If a customer (customer 1) creates multiple sub accounts (customer a, b and c) can a second customer (customer 2) also utilize those subaccount for their buying. so can bot customer 1 and 2 have the same subaccount a, b and c purchase on their behalf?

It is not possible for 2 main accounts to share subaccounts between them. That is because an account is considered basically the main account for a company, and subaccounts are considered employees, or perhaps specific branches or offices in that company. 

also, when customers a, b and c are purchasing, can they have the address of customer 1 be their default address for ordering?

Yes, by default that is how it works. The subaccounts (a, b, c) will start out with the parent account's (customer 1) addresses.

also, does customer 1 receive an email of the order when customer a, b or c makes a purchase?

The parent account  (customer 1) does not receive those emails normally. They can get those emails IF they enable 'order approval' for the subaccount ( https://b2bkingplugin.com/docs/company-order-approval/ ). Through the order approval feature, the parent account can require that they are notified and first approve the order before it goes through.

The parent account can also view all subaccount orders by going to My Account -> Orders.

If you'd like, we can also provide a code snippet to make the parent account receive emails for all subaccount orders (Regardless of whether order approval is required).

Kind regards,

Stefan

To remove the "Manage Order" buttons, please add this PHP code snippet to your site:

add_filter('salesking_show_actions_my_orders_page','__return_false');
add_filter('salesking_show_actions_my_earnings_page','__return_false');

And to also forward the "your order has been received" email to the parent account whenever a subaccount places an order, please use:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_recipient_customer_processing_order', 'filter_customer_received_order_email_recipient_subaccount', 10, 2 );
function filter_customer_received_order_email_recipient_subaccount( $recipient, $order ){
    $customer_id = $order->get_customer_id();
    $account_type = get_user_meta($customer_id,'b2bking_account_type', true);
    if ($account_type === 'subaccount'){
        // add parent account to recipient list
        $parent_account = get_user_meta($customer_id, 'b2bking_account_parent', true);
        $parent_user = get_user_by('id', $parent_account);
        $parent_email = $parent_user->user_email;
        $recipient .= ', '.$parent_email;
    }
    return $recipient;
}

It seems to be working in my tests,

Let me know if you have any issues with those or if I can help with anything,

Hi Nic,

Sure, we can modify that snippet to apply to specific users only.

My question is, what exactly is a 'sub-admin' in your configuration? Is it a WP ROLE? If so, what is the slug of the role?

Basically I need to know how I can check in the code to see if the user is a 'sub-admin' or not.

Kind regards,

Stefan
