Define a seller organization
Typically, the seller organization is the organization that owns one or more stores on a WebSphere Commerce site. The seller organization can also have sub-organizations, or divisions, which, in turn, can have one or more stores. For example, if you have a store that sells fashion merchandise, it might have a women's division and a men's division, each with separate, online stores.
- Create a Seller an organization. When you create a new organization, you will create a profile for that organization, which includes the organization's name, description, address, and contact person, as well as the organization type.
- Optional: Select approval types for the organization. Define which tasks within the Seller organization require approval, such as order processing or user registration.
- Assign roles to the organization. An organization can only take on roles that have been assigned to its parent organization. Since Root Organization is an ancestor of all other organizations, it must be assigned all possible roles. Since you are creating a seller organization, typical roles that you might assign include Seller Administrator, Seller, and so on.
- Create users. Like organizations, you will create a profile for each user that includes the user's name, contact information, and the role assigned to that user. When assigning roles, you will select them from the list of roles you assigned to the organization in the previous step.
