Frequently Asked Questions
Is it compatible with PrestaShop 8 and 9?
Yes. B2B Access Manager is fully compatible with both PrestaShop 8.x and 9.x.
How long does it take to install and get up and running?
Just a few minutes. You install it through the standard PrestaShop back office module manager, configure your preferences in the settings panel, and the module is live. No developer needed.
What happens when a customer registers?
Their account is automatically set to Pending. The admin receives a notification email and can then approve or reject the request from the back office.
Does the module create a customer address automatically?
Yes. When a customer registers, a PrestaShop address (labelled Business address) is automatically created from the business details they provide — no separate address step is needed.
Can I skip manual approval and grant access automatically?
Yes. From v1.13.0 you can enable an opt-in Auto-approve mode in the settings: new registrations get full store access instantly, without waiting for admin validation. Manual approval remains the default if you don't turn it on.
Can I customise the fields on the B2B registration form?
Yes. The Custom Fields tab in the module configuration lets you add as many extra fields as you need: text, textarea, number, date, or dropdown. Each field can be made required or optional, given a custom label, sorted independently, and toggled on or off without losing stored data. The form always includes core business details (company name, address, VAT number, phone, website) as a base. All values are visible in the backoffice customer list and included in the CSV export.
Can I translate the custom field labels and dropdown options?
Yes. From v1.13.0, custom field labels and dropdown options can be translated per shop language, so each visitor sees them in their own language instead of a single value for everyone.
What happens to custom field translations when I add a new language to my shop?
Existing fields automatically fall back to your shop's default language for the new one, so nothing breaks or shows blank. You can translate the labels and dropdown options for that language whenever you're ready, from the Custom Fields tab.
What languages is the module available in?
Out of the box, B2B Access Manager ships with UI translations and email templates in 12 languages: English, Spanish, Catalan, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Czech and Romanian. If your shop uses a language outside this list, PrestaShop's built-in translation tools let you translate the module's strings and email templates yourself.
Where are the uploaded business documents stored? Is it GDPR-friendly?
Uploaded documents (PDF, JPG or PNG) are stored directly on your own server, as part of your PrestaShop installation — never sent to any third-party service. Only admins with back office access can view or download them from the validation panel, so you keep full control over your customers' data.
Can I send a message when I reject a customer?
Yes. When rejecting a registration, you can include an optional custom message that will be sent to the customer in the notification email.
Does it work with any PrestaShop theme?
Yes. The module works at the logic level and is compatible with any theme. You can also inject custom CSS and adjust alert colours to match your store's design.
What happens to my existing customers when I install the module?
Existing customers are not affected. You can manage their approval status individually from the back office validation panel.
Do I lose my B2B customer data if I uninstall the module?
No. Uninstalling or resetting the module does not drop its database tables — validation statuses, custom field definitions and uploaded document references are all preserved. If you reinstall later, the tables are safely recreated and your data is exactly where you left it.
Is there a limit on the number of B2B customers I can manage?
No. The admin panel is designed to handle large volumes of customers efficiently, with filters, bulk actions and CSV export.
My theme still shows prices and the cart button to non-approved customers. What can I do?
Access control is enforced server-side, so unapproved visitors can never buy or see real prices regardless of what the theme renders. However, to also hide the empty price container and the (non-functional) cart button visually, the module includes built-in CSS rules for the Classic and Hummingbird themes. If you use a different theme, go to Settings > Design > Custom CSS and add the selector that wraps the price or cart button in your theme, for example: .price { display:none !important; }. This CSS is only injected for guests and pending customers.
Can I customise the emails sent to customers and admins?
Yes. All email templates (the admin alert for new pending registrations, the pending notification sent to the customer, and the approval or rejection emails) can be fully edited from your PrestaShop back office. Go to Design > Email Theme (or International > Translations > Email templates, depending on your version) and look for the templates listed under the module name. From there you can modify the copy, adjust the layout and translate them into any language not yet covered.
Can I resend the validation email to a customer?
Yes. The validation panel includes a Resend email action that re-sends the email matching the customer's current status (pending, approved or rejected) without changing anything — handy when a customer says they never received it.
Where exactly do I configure the module?
From your PrestaShop back office, go to Modules > Module Manager, find B2B Access Manager and click Configure. All settings (general options, design, custom fields and document upload) are managed from there.
Where do I manage and validate new customer registrations?
From a dedicated back office menu entry, not from the module configuration page: open the Customers submenu and click B2B Validation. There you'll find the full list of pending, approved and rejected accounts, with filters, bulk actions and CSV export.
