Add B2BKing and B2B Functionality to an Existing B2C Site

Many B2C shops consider adding a B2B component or dedicated section for wholesale or business customers.

B2BKing has a dedicated "B2B & B2C Hybrid" mode built exactly for this purpose: it adds B2B functionality to your site without affecting the experience of existing B2C users.

To set this up, we recommend configuring the following settings:

-> In B2BKing -> Settings -> Main Settings, set the plugin to "B2B & B2C Hybrid".

This ensures that B2B features such as purchase lists or subaccounts are only available to your B2B customers.

-> In B2BKing -> Settings -> Access Restriction -> Guest Access Restriction, set it to "None".

This ensures that logged-out users are not restricted in any way.

-> By default, B2BKing adds a "user type" dropdown to the registration form, so that users can choose between B2B and B2C when they register. If you prefer, it is also possible to completely separate the two types of registration and keep the main My Account page as B2C-only.

With these initial settings in place, B2BKing should have no visible effect on your site, and the experience of your B2C customers should remain unaffected.
