Create an organization
Use the Organization Administration Console to create an organization or organizational unit for the site.
- Define buyer organizations
If you are running a business-to-business site, there can be one or more buyer organizations belonging to the site. After you have established which businesses will participate in a buying relationship with the site, we will have to create a buyer organization for each business. You can have as many buyer organizations as you need.
- 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.
