Key Characteristics

A supplier is assigned to one or more stores (by default, the main store if operating in single-store mode).
They provide offers that include:
- Stock availability
- Pricing: Prices can only be applied if the supplier is assigned to the customer account.
Each supplier entity has access to a supplier back office: DjustBackOfficeURL/login/supplier
From this interface, the supplier can:
- Create and manage supplier users associated with their account.
- Create customer accounts and users (which will be automatically assigned to them).
- Manage their orders (e.g., accept or reject).
⚠️
Account modification
Customer accounts created via the supplier back office cannot be modified from that same interface.
