As a 3PL, you will need to manage various orders, shipping options, and automation rules for individual customers. To do this, you need to be logged into the individual customer account.
What should be managed in the customer's account?
There are various features and configurations that need to be managed within a customer account. These include:
- Automation Rules
- Manual Order Creation
- Orders created with a CSV upload
- Connecting stores and managing store settings
- Returns settings
- Warehouse Profiles
- Creating and managing customer account users and permissions
How to Switch between 3PL Clients' Accounts
Users logged into the 3PL account will be able to select between different customer accounts using the drop-down displayed on the top navigation bar.
To manage a customer account, select the customer from the drop-down and the page will be set to that customer once reloaded. Admin 3PL account users will see all customer accounts while non-admin 3PL account users will only see customer accounts specified in the user settings, if no customer accounts have been selected, the drop-down will not be visible.
How do I make the customer account bar visible?
Only a 3PL Admin user has access to all customers accounts by default. Other 3PL users will need access to each customer account, and this can be easily managed at a 3PL user account level.
3PL users with user management permissions are able to specify which customers any non-admin 3PL users can manage by checking customers in the edit user view (My Account > Users > click on the user name you want to edit). On the right side of the screen, you will see a Customers section where you can check off which customers this user can switch into.
