Buyers to Approve page (B2B)

Buyer Administrators for a B2B organization can use the Buyers to Approve page to view a list of self-registered buyers who are awaiting approval. Buyer Administrators can search for, approve, or reject buyers.

Buyer (user registration) approvals can be enabled or disabled for an organization by editing the Approvals section on the Organization Details page (B2B).

Note: Buyers are not automatically notified when their request is approved or rejected. Also, if a Buyer Administrator disables buyer approvals, buyers who were already awaiting approval must still be approved.
