Guest Access

  • Show product pricing to guests: When pricing is toggled on it will show guest customers your default sell price. 
Guest users will not be able to add products to their carts, or checkout. They will still come through the standard process of requesting access unless credit card payments are enabled for Guest customers.
Request Access
Potential new Customers & Guest Customers can "Request Access" to your B2B Store by selecting "Request Access" on the Login Page or by selecting "Don't have an Account?" whilst logged into the store as a Guest.

Selecting either of these two options will result in the following "Request Access" form for your new customer to fill out. The values input here will be included in the Request Access email sent to the B2B Admin email address so you can easily review, approve, & set up your new B2B Customer.

Please note that the Email field is a mandatory field to request access. All other fields are optional only, & do not need to be filled to request access.
Requesting Access does not automatically provide a new Customer with Access. They will still need to be set up in your Unleashed account & invited to join.


Multiple customer contacts

Admins can send invites to multiple customer contacts.

When a customer does not have any contacts added in Unleashed, B2B 'Customers' page will display 'No contacts added' before the customer.
