Short description

You need a possibility to handle sub accounts on your Magento B2B store? Our solution sublogin will fit your needs! Create child accounts under the parent account (main account) in Magento and use them e.g. as employee logins which have seperate data from main account in Magento. You can define own login credentials, address data, access levels through our own ACL implemention for the frontend (for example checkout). Also, you are able to restrict single sublogins to make a complete order. Instead, the order needs to be approved by the main account. Furthermore, use our budget management tool to assign budgets (per order, daily, monthly and yearly) - even for the future - for all sublogins seperately.

Functional overview

  • Add, edit and delete sub logins on a user account
  • Seperate carts for all sub-logins

  • Restrict sub login to just view his own orders in customer area (depends on system configuration value)
  • The main user account can create sub logins in the frontend
  • Restrict address book entries per sublogin (depends on system configuration value)
  • Fast CSV import of sublogins over import entity adapter

Creating sub accounts / sub logins or employee accounts per user account

The extension allows you to create sub accounts or so called "sub logins" for e.g. different employees of a user account in the backend area of Magento. These sub accounts are getting an own email address and password to login seperatly from the user account.

Creating sub accounts from the frontend area (configurable system setting, if sublogins can see this menu point)

For customer accounts it's possible to create their own sub logins in the frontend area of Magento (see at customer account area). This is a great opportunity for the shop owner to let the customers manage their employee accounts themselves.

Seperate carts for all sub logins

Every sub-login has it's own cart in Magento, so personal cart access is secured. If you like to use a shared account between main account and sublogin, it's just a click ahead.

Handle multi users per account

This extension also works great if you need to handle multi users per account, so sub accounts under the main account.

Account data will send via mail

Within registration of a new sub logins (on frontend or backend area), the sublogin will get an email with it's own credentials. You can fully modify the email creation and refreshing template, also for different store views.

Define an automatically expiration process of the sub logins (optional)

It's possible to define an expiration process of e.g. 90 or 180 days to automatically deactivate the user accounts. This might be helpful in the case old employee leave the company, but the login still persists. This configuration is not required, but can be set.

Adress book restriction per sublogin

Restrict a sublogin with a specific address book of the customer - or the sublogin can see all address entries from main account (configurable per sublogin)

Simple CSV import of sublogins

We are offering an import routine to import sublogins from a csv file (you can customize the import script yourself if you like). For instructions (fieldnames, delimiter and so on) see our manual.

Order approval for sublogin orders

Our B2B solution sublogins easily offers you to setup an order approval so that orders from sublogins needs the approval of their connected main account. Both partys are getting an email that an order with approve was made and the main account is able to either approve or decline the order in the my account area of his account.

Email template management, CC receivers

Our system comes with a well-developed template management, including the ability to set BCC to all sublogin template emails. And you can define CC receivers either per whole account (customer area) for sublogin email templates and additionally another CC receiver for a single sublogin also.

Powerful REST API for sublogins

RESTful webservice for create, rename, update and delete sublogins over a HTTP connection. If you don't like to implement OAuth as security authentification as it's not so easy to implement, just use our own password protection method via password parameter.

Powerful SOAP API (v1 and v2 supported)

According to Magento SOAP API we developed a seperate SOAP API for sub-logins including CRUD (create, rename, update, delete). Using wsdl as definition makes it easy to implement.

We are officially supporting the integration for Tinx-IT B.V. - TinxIT Connector for Navision.

Added Multi store / Multi website support

If you are running your installation under a multi store environment, our extension supports this fully.

Custom ACLs for different groups of sublogins

With our custom ACL management system you can setup different rights for different sublogins. Simply call the function in your template to e.g. prevent some sublogins to order something.

Purchase limits per sublogin and main account

Easily setup purchase limits with a defined limit either per day, month or year (specific) or also daily, monthly or yearly (repeated). You can setup those purchase limits per sublogin, and also for the main account itself.

Extensive address book support

This extension comes with an extensive support of the address book feature for sublogins. Beside defining own address book entries either from frontend (like the usual customer would do) and backend (same UI as for main customer) it can be choosen from 3 general settings mirroring the main customer address book:

  • Disallow using customer addresses
  • Allow using all customer addresses
  • Custom (address entries can be choosen from backend/frontend)

This setting can be changed inside system configuration area.

Huge configurations per system configuration, customer and sublogin available

With this extension you have huge configuration possibilities, e.g:

  • Check if emai of sublogin already exists
  • Allow / disallow sublogins to create sublogins
  • Allow / disallow customers to create sublogins
  • Set max. amount of sublogins which can be created for a specific customer
  • Show / disable "My Sublogins" in frontend for sublogins which are logged in
  • Restrict address book for single or whole entries from the main account

Predefined ACLs

The ACL setup offers predefined ACLs to access the following URLs for a group of sublogins

  • My account area
  • Cart
  • Checkout

Add-On: Sublogin Catalog Restriction

With this Add-On which can be purchased additionally to the sublogin extension you are able to set products only available for some sublogins. Those sublogins have a custom product collection to view.
