Sub-Accounts

Sana Commerce Cloud delivers support of different shop account roles and authorization procedure to meet your individual business requirements and convert the manual process of orders approval into fast and efficient automated process.

In Sana a business customer can have one of the following shop account roles:

  • Regular account

  • Account manager

  • Sub-account

A sub-account is a customer who is able to place orders just like a regular customer. However, if the order exceeds the cost limit set for the sub-account in the webstore, the order should be approved. Depending on the rules set for the customer with the sub-account role, there might be a single or multiple levels of authorization.

In the webstore the account manager can create and manage sub-accounts from the My account page > Manage sub-accounts.

For more information about sub-accounts and order authorizations, see Shop Account Roles.
