A structured way to manage business accounts in AI Commerce Cloud

In B2B commerce, purchasing rarely happens through a single user. Multiple employees may place orders on behalf of the same company, roles differ, and access must be controlled.

AI Commerce Cloud’s Organization Management enables companies to manage buyers, roles, and order visibility under one corporate account.

This reduces manual work for store administrators and ensures a secure, company-specific ordering experience.

What problem does Organization Management solve?

Challenges in B2B purchasing often include:

  • Orders placed under the wrong user account

  • Confusion over who is allowed to place orders

  • Limited visibility into company-wide order history

  • Online store admins must make frequent user adjustments

With Organization Management, companies take control of their own users and order permissions.

How Organization Management works: roles and hierarchy

An organization in AI Commerce Cloud consists of a company account with assigned users and roles. The hierarchy includes:

Role

What can they do?

Store Administrator

Creates organizations and assigns the first Admin user

Organization Admin

Manages the company’s users and permissions, sees all orders

Organization Users

Can either place orders (Orderer) or only view products and prices (Viewer), depending on the role

Once an organization is created, the store administrator can link existing customer accounts to it. From there, the company admin manages everything without store admin involvement.
