Main basket

From the quick-basket, if you click “View Basket” you will see a full comprehensive breakdown of your items. From here we also show related products which may be useful for you.

Account Management Tools

Company Dashboard

From the main menu, hovering over your username will bring up a menu, where you can select “Company Dashboard”.

From here you can self-manage several intelligent account tools.

User Management

Two levels of accounts exist: Admin and User.

Admins can view all users within their company.

Admins can assign special permissions to employees with a ‘user’ role.

Edit user details

From the “Company Users” page, if you wish to edit a user, you can click the ‘pen’ icon of a user. Admins can only edit Users (they cannot edit fellow Admins).

This will allow an Admin to change the users name, email, password, company role (admin or user) and also the ability to deactivate their account.

Edit user permissions

Clicking the slider toggles on “Company Users” page, allows an admin to change the permissions of a User.

You can enable “Share a basket”. This allows a user to add products to a basket and share this with an Admin.

You can enable “Restrict to basket only”. This prevents the user from being able to checkout. This feature is often used in conjunction with ‘share basket’ – so a user can build a basket and share it with an Admin to fulfil the purchase.

You can enable “Proceed to checkout only”. This is handy for purchasing/accounts departments, where they can process a basket that has been shared with them. They wont have permission to edit the basket or it’s items – they can purely purchase only.
