About the Extension

The VIO.B2B plugin offers you the possibility to assign the feature "B2B company" to classic Shopware customers and thus to map release workflows, but also to set up different address scenarios (example: as delivery address a branch, as billing address the company headquarters):

Your B2B customers can create their own employees who can log into your store using personal logins.
These employee accounts can be given rights so that the individual employee can initiate orders and manage addresses and other customer settings, such as the payment method.
The rights can also be extended so that further functions of the store can be saved for the employees.

Perfect addition: B2B Workflow - order approvals
With the B2B Workflow app, you can revoke employees' right to place orders and introduce a release process instead so that orders need to be approved before they get placed.

NEW since 3.1.0. : Roles

Your customers now have the option of creating their own roles for their employees. They can organise the rights to many different roles as they require and assign them with just one click.

The roles are created in the customer's own account and given the relevant rights.
Employees and representatives can be authorised to create and assign roles themselves.
The roles do not remove any rights that have been granted. Employees cannot assign any rights they do not have themselves.
The self-created roles cannot be seen by other customers and their employees.
The shop administrator can create global roles that can be assigned by the registered shop customers in the same way as the self-created roles.

NEW since app version 3.0.10 - Synchronised shopping cart

If an employee added one or more items to the shopping cart of the guest account before logging into their own account, these items are no longer lost after logging in, but are now integrated into the shopping cart.

This prevents the items disappearing after logging in.
If the shopping cart already contains items from a previous session, the items will be added instead of being replaced.
The new feature ensures that no items are lost during the login process at the checkout process.

NEW feature as of app version 2.0 - Assign addresses to employees:
Fixed addresses an now be assigned to each employee - this applies to both billing and shipping addresses.

Generally, the default delivery address and billing address for the employee will not be changed unless they are unchecked "Selectable" after restriction.
- Example: address A is the current delivery address, after saving the changes it is specified that only delivery address B and C are available for the employee. At this point, the first available address becomes the default delivery address, in this case delivery address B.
To note: If you have made a selection of either Billing Addresses OR Delivery Addresses, but not at the other address, the current address will be kept there.
- Example: The employee has the default billing address B. Delivery addresses C and D are now set so that he can only use them. Address C becomes the default delivery address, but B remains as the billing address and cannot be changed by the employee.

Planned features:

the possibility to assign rights to each employee for each address
supervisor functions, so that individual employees can only access the rights and information of other specified employees
Ability to assign individual roles to employees (currently you have to assign explicit rights per employee)

Set up automated e-mailing to employees (order confirmation, password reset, ...)

If you want to set up automated emailing for specific processes, such as sending order confirmations to employees or recovering an employee's password, our user documentation will help you: to the user documentation (only available in German).

It also describes which triggers have been added with our B2B Login app and how to select the right email template.

Good to know: Supported by interfaces to Sage 100 and SelectLine:
Our plugin is supported by the interfaces "maniacSeller" for Sage 100 and SelectLine.
Your Shopware online shop is connected to the merchandise management system Sage 100 or SelectLine using the maniacSeller interface? Perfect, because these interfaces are coordinated with our plugin together with the provider!

A perfect suite of tools for a B2B Site.

5.0

We have been using VIO Sys B2B Suite for a client B2B site. The suite is just excellent. Everything integrates really well and we have found very few problems using the suite. I have marked the documentation down a little as I haven't really needed to make use of it so cant really say for sure how good/bad it is but didn't want that to affect the overall rating. I'd have no doubts about using the suite again on any future B2B site. For the few occasions we needed to contact support for assistance the response times have been spot on. Thanks to all at the VIOSys team .

Shopware 6 certified

Is it possible to create the employees with a csv import?

Not yet, but you can create the data via Shopware standard API. Support for using Shopware's import/export tool is planned for the future.

Is the VIO.B2B-Login App compatible with XY?

In short:Yes, as long as they are oriented to the Shopware standard.

Long version:

In general, all our VIO.Apps for Shopware 6, are compatible with other apps. However, we have some special apps also built in additional compatibility. Just write to us and we will check the possibilities.

However, we would like to emphasize the compatibility to:

Why does the B2B login app not actually send any e-mails (e.g. for forgotten/reset password requests)?

Due to various application scenarios (complete filling via an external system, completely managed by the customer themselves, ...) of our B2B plugins, we deliver them without configured flows, so you as the store operator have full control over which information and emails are to be sent for which events. It is therefore necessary to set up corresponding flows for all outgoing emails. Please have a look at our user documentation. In most cases, it is sufficient to set up a flow for a flow trigger from our B2B plugins (e.g. employee / recovery / request) and copy a template from the Shopware standard for sending emails and modify it accordingly if necessary.

Can the plugin also run in parallel with a B2C shop?

Yes, the VIO.Plugin B2B Login can also be used in parallel in B2C systems. For this purpose, since version 1.6.0 the plugin offers the possibility to store an availability rule. You can define this freely via the Shopware 6 Rule-Builder and thus freely determine which of your customers can use the B2B functions, such as employee management.

Can I actually import or import the employees, rights and assignment of rights to employees via API? Where is this API documented?

In short: Yes, this is possible via the Shopware 6 API.

Long version:

As a rule, our VIO.Plugins for Shopware 6 do not provide their own endpoints in the API because they are not necessary. All data available in the API is provided by the API generated by Shopware itself. This API basically provides CRUD operation (Create / Read / Update / Delete) on all entities and their data fields in Shopware.

A complete documentation of all fields and functions of the API can be found in Shopware 6 by default at the following URL of your shop:[URL]/api/_info/swagger.html. (see: https://developer.shopware.com/docs/guides/integrations-api/general-concepts/generated-reference#swagger-ui

All API functions are also described in more detail in the official Shopware documentation: https://developer.shopware.com/docs/guides/integrations-api

Additional customer data from employees will be maintained. For this purpose more fields like department, cost center, company entry etc. are needed. To what extent and in general can adjustments be made to plugins?

In principle, all our plugins or the entities of the plugins support custom fields, i.e. this data can theoretically be stored by a custom development. Currently, however, the maintenance of the Custom-FIelds in the administration is is planned. Furthermore, all our plugins usually offer enough blocks in the templates, so that they can be overloaded, for example, in the theme and our plugins have at all relevant places appropriate events to influence, for example, DB (DAL) queries or to provide entry points before the page delivery.
