# Manage corporate buyers and approvals

> Add subsidiary buyers, set purchasing limits, and approve or reject B2B orders on Premium.

# Manage corporate buyers and approvals

## What does this do for me?

Corporate accounts let a parent company add subsidiary buyers with their own purchasing limits and an approval workflow before an order becomes a draft. It requires the **Premium** plan.

## Add a subsidiary buyer

1. Open **Corporate accounts**. If the plan does not include it, a banner titled **Premium feature** explains **Premium is required for subsidiary buyers, limits, and approval workflows. Current plan: `<plan>`.**
2. Under **Add subsidiary buyer**, in **Buyer identity**, choose a **Parent company**, paste the **Shopify customer ID**, and optionally add a **Buyer email (optional)**.
3. In **Purchase controls**, choose a **Role** of **Buyer**, **Approver**, or **Admin**, set a **Purchasing limit (optional)**, and tick **Require approval for every order** if needed.
4. Save the buyer.

Existing buyers appear in **Subsidiary buyers** with columns **Customer**, **Company**, **Role**, **Limit**, and **Approval**. A missing limit reads **No limit**, and approval cells show **Required** or **Limit only**.

## Work the approval queue

1. In **Approval queue**, each pending order shows an **Approval `<id>`** card with its status.
2. Choose **Approve** to allow the order, or **Reject** and confirm with **Reject approval**.
3. When the checkout outcome needs confirmation, choose **Confirm draft**. The banner **Confirm the checkout outcome before closing this approval.** explains the step.

## Notes

* A buyer over their limit or flagged for approval gets an approval request instead of a created draft order.
* When no orders are waiting, the queue reads **No orders are waiting for approval.**
* On plans without the feature, the buyers area reads **Subsidiary buyers appear here on the Premium plan.**
