Completely separate B2B and B2C registration in WooCommerce with B2BKing

You may want to have separate B2B and B2C registration pages, or even separate My Account areas. In this article, we discuss the available options.

Note: This feature is available only in the paid B2BKing (Pro) versions.

User Type Dropdown (Default) #

First, here is how the default registration works. It uses a single "User Type" dropdown with multiple B2C/B2B options (also known as registration roles):

Choosing an option (registration role) will display only the registration fields for that role.

You can see how this works in our live demo here (click on "Create an account").

This dropdown is enabled or disabled through the setting in B2BKing -> Settings -> Registration -> Enable Dropdown & Fields:

Completely Separate B2B and B2C Registration #

If you prefer to have separate pages rather than this dropdown, you can completely separate the two types of registration by following these steps:

Step 1. In B2BKing -> Settings -> Registration, disable the dropdown setting:

Step 2. Create a new WordPress page for B2B registration.

Step 3. Insert one of the registration shortcodes into the newly created page:

• [b2bking_b2b_registration] for Login + Registration

In order to see the registration form (and not just the login form), the following setting must be enabled: go to WooCommerce -> Settings -> Accounts and enable "Allow customers to create an account on the 'My account' page".

• [b2bking_b2b_registration_only] for Registration only

• You can get more pre-configured shortcodes by going to B2BKing -> Registration Roles and clicking on "Registration Form Shortcodes":

This opens the registration shortcode configurator:

Here you can see a shortcode for each registration role and check the box to include the login form if needed.

Example

On our test site, we want to create a registration form only for wholesalers, with both login and registration. We open the registration shortcode configurator, check the login box, and then copy the shortcode:

We copy the shortcode [b2bking_b2b_registration registration_role_id=12] and add it to a new page.

Please note that the specific shortcode (and registration_role_id) is unique to each site, so you must use the configurator on your own site.

How to Separate My Account Pages as Well #

The My Account page automatically adapts and shows different content to B2B and B2C users, so it is not necessary to have a separate My Account page. In most cases, we do NOT recommend it, as it can create issues.

However, if you must have different account pages, here is how to set that up:

• In B2BKing -> Settings -> Registration -> choose the B2B page under "Separate My Account Page for B2B."

• Instead of the shortcodes above, you must use [b2bking_b2b_registration_separate].

Login Shortcode #

If you'd like to add a separate login form to a page, you can use:

[b2bking_login_only] for the Login form only
