OpenCart Customer Sub Account

OpenCart Customer Sub Account extension allows the customer to create multiple sub-account users.

They can give them different permissions and accesses to manage and view the information of the main customer account.

The sub-account users can perform those tasks on behalf of the main account users and can access the main account details depending on the permissions they have.

Sometimes, in a big organization, a large number of orders are placing on a daily basis.

To fasten the process, the main account user can define the responsibility to their sub-account users to manage the order process.

The admin can assign the various available permission to the main account and on the behalf of the options, the main account user can assign various permission to their sub-accounts.
