B2B Account Application
On the storefront, your customers can apply for a company account by submitting a Trade Professional Application. This provides a form for them to enter their company admin user information, as well as the Company’s name and contact details.
Customers can access the application from the "Trade Professional Application" button in your store’s header. The link to the application form is typically located at the top right corner.
Once the fields have been filled out, click on the “Submit” button at the bottom of the form. You will receive a confirmation message letting you know that your application has been submitted and is pending approval by the store owner.

**** Guest users will have to fill out the information from scratch.
**** Registered B2C users will use their existing account information to pre-fill the fields under the “Company Admin Account Information” section.
