# How to Manage the Approval Process for Newly Registered Customers in the B2B Sales Channel

If the **Approval Process** option is enabled in the [**B2B Sales Channel**](https://support.ikas.com/b2b-pos-lite-marketplaces?hsLang=en#:~:text=channel%20selling%20potential.-,B2B,-What%20is%20a) settings, newly registered customers must be confirmed before they can make purchases.

 

### Prerequisites for the Approval Process

To ensure that customers only gain access to the B2B shop after approval, the corresponding setting must be enabled:

- Go to **Sales Channel: B2B > B2B Settings**.
- Enable the checkbox **"Customers can open an account by going through the approval process."**.

Once a customer registers in the B2B shop, they will be informed that their **account approval is pending**; only after approval can they place orders.

 

### Where to Find Customers Waiting for Confirmation?

To approve or reject customers, follow these steps:

1. **Log in to the ikas Dashboard:**
   
   Sign in to your ikas Dashboard.
2. **Access Customers:**
   
   Click on **Customers > Awaiting Approval** in the left menu.
3. **Grant Approval:**
   
   In this overview, all customers waiting for confirmation will be listed.
   
     - Open the customer profile and decide whether you want to **approve** or **reject** the request.
     - As soon as a customer is approved, they automatically receive a **notification mail**.
       
       **Note:** Even if the customer profile still shows “Waiting for approval,” a **welcome email** is automatically sent upon registration - regardless of approval status. A specific email stating “Your account has been activated” is currently not sent. However, an extension of this feature is planned.

 

### How to Edit Approval Later?

If you want to change the B2B status of a customer:

1. Go to **Customers > Customers** and select the corresponding customer account.
2. Click on **Edit** in the top right corner.
3. Change the **B2B Status** and save the changes.
