Accounts

Accounts

Create and manage accounts for wholesale customers.

What it does and who it's for

Geins Accounts power modern B2B and wholesale experiences. They’re built for commerce managers, sales teams, and developers who need clean control over company entities, multi‑buyer access, and account‑specific pricing and product access.

With accounts, you centralize buyers under a company, connect tailored price lists, restrict catalog visibility when needed, and keep VAT, channel, and address details organized in one place.

Key capabilities

Company accounts

Model each customer company with full details, addresses, and settings

Multi-buyer access

Associate multiple buyers with one account; activate/deactivate with control

Account-specific pricing

Attach price lists per account for precise pricing and assortments

Assign sales reps

Give sales representatives visibility and ownership per account

Channel & VAT aware

What you can build

With Accounts, you can launch a wholesale portal where each company logs in to see its own catalog, prices, and content. Buyers under an account share the same commercial terms but can be managed individually (e.g., activation status).

By combining Accounts with price lists, you can implement account‑specific assortments, currency‑matched pricing, and market‑aware totals. This keeps the storefront experience consistent and accurate across regions and channels.

How it works in Geins

Accounts represent B2B companies. Buyers are customers tied to an account and inherit its commercial setup. price lists determine prices and, when enabled, the visible product selection. Channels and currency govern what pricing applies in each context.
