Commercial Customers Only (B2B)
by DATA HORIZON Co.,Ltd.
Merchants Only transforms your Shopware 6 store into a dedicated B2B platform by restricting registration to commercial customers, enforcing essential business information, and optionally sending invoice-related documents to a dedicated billing email address.
Once activated, all new registrations are treated as business accounts. The private/commercial account selection is removed, and the company name becomes a mandatory field. New customers can either be assigned to a predefined customer group or continue using Shopware’s default group assignment.
The plugin also introduces an optional invoice email field, allowing customers to specify a separate billing contact address. This email address can be managed during registration, within the customer profile, and directly in the administration. When configured, invoices, credit notes, and cancellation documents are automatically CC’d to this billing address — regardless of whether the documents are sent automatically through order status changes or manually via the administration.
Key Features
- B2B-Only Registration – Restricts registration exclusively to business customers by hiding the private account option and requiring a company name during account creation.
- Optional VAT ID Requirement – Allows merchants to configure VAT ID collection as a mandatory field during registration (Presence validation only — no external VAT verification service required.)
- Custom Registration Notice – Display a configurable, snippet-based information message above the registration form to clearly communicate B2B registration requirements.
- Customer Group Assignment – Automatically assign newly registered customers to a configured customer group, while still supporting Shopware’s default assignment behavior if preferred.
- Dedicated Invoice Email Address – Adds an optional custom field for a separate invoice or billing email address, editable by customers and administrators. The field can also be configured as mandatory.
- Automatic Invoice CC – Automatically sends invoices, credit notes, and cancellation documents to the customer’s billing email address whenever one is configured — without requiring template customizations.
Why Use Merchants Only?
Managing a wholesale shop with Shopware’s standard functionality often involves manual customer verification, follow-ups for incomplete business information, and manual invoice forwarding.
Merchants Only automates these workflows by:
- ensuring only business customers can register,
- enforcing the collection of essential business information
- and automatically distributing invoice documents to the appropriate billing contact.
