What is B2B company assignment on Shopify Plus and how does it work?

B2B company assignment refers to the process of setting up B2B contacts as companies in Shopify Plus stores. With miniOrange’s advanced Shopify B2B solution, users can fill in a company account request form on the storefront, which is reviewed and approved by the Shopify admin before access is granted. Once approved, B2B contacts are automatically assigned to the appropriate company accounts to ensure only verified business customers gain access.

What is domain-based B2B company assignment on Shopify Plus?

Domain-based B2B company assignment allows Shopify store admins to automatically link users to a company based on their email domain. When a B2B contact signs up using a domain connected to an approved B2B company, they are automatically added to that company’s account, simplifying Shopify B2B user onboarding and management.

What is the process for company registration and approval on Shopify B2B?

Company registration begins when a B2B user submits a company account request via the Shopify Plus storefront. The request is then reviewed by the store admin, who may approve or reject it after verification. Once approved, a company profile is created and all Shopify B2B contacts linked to the approved domain are automatically onboarded to the store.

How do I restrict Shopify store access to B2B customers only?

Store admins can configure storefront visibility rules on Shopify to restrict access to specific pages, collections, or products. Through whitelisting, Shopify admins can make specific content visible only to logged-in and verified B2B company contacts while keeping exclusive content hidden from non-verified visitors.

How to automatically assign or deny access based on a user’s email domain in Shopify B2B?

Yes. Using domain-based B2B company assignment, admins can associate specific email domains with approved companies. Users signing up with approved domains are automatically assigned to their company, while users with unlisted domains will not be assigned until their company is registered and approved by the admin.

Use Cases for Shopify B2B Company Assignment

Configure B2B Accounts By Setting Up Company Profiles with Admin Approval

A Shopify Plus merchant managing multiple B2B contacts needed a simpler way to organize users under their respective companies. Previously, the process for Shopify B2B company assignment did not allow unassigned customers to request registration of new companies, leading to delays and confusion. With miniOrange’s advanced solution, B2B users can create company account requests directly from the storefront, which admins review and approve before granting access, ensuring only verified companies and B2B employees are onboarded to the Shopify store.

Company & Role-Based Access Control for B2B Contacts

A Shopify Plus B2B store serving multiple companies needed to ensure that users only accessed content and actions specific to their organization and role. Effective B2B user management was becoming difficult as all customers could view the same products and pricing, creating confusion and potential compliance risks. With miniOrange’s integrated B2B solution, stores can enforce granular access control through restrictions on B2B-specific products, collections, and pages, and set role-based permissions so users can manage specific tasks (order handling, sales staff) securely and efficiently.

Exclusive Store Access to Verified B2B Company Contacts

A Shopify Plus merchant running a dedicated B2B store needed to ensure that only verified B2B employees could view sensitive product catalogs and pricing. However, the store’s open visibility allowed any logged-in user to access B2B-exclusive store content. With miniOrange’s Shopify B2B application, merchants can restrict store access to B2B customers with approved company profiles. Admins can whitelist certain pages for public visibility while keeping all B2B-specific products, pages, or collections hidden from non-verified users, so only authorized B2B contacts can view relevant information.
