# With BSS B2B Solution – Registration + Tags

BSS B2B Lock works best when it knows who is B2B and who is not. That’s exactly what BSS B2B Solution is good at: capturing business details, approving applicants, and tagging customers.

Together, they form a full flow:

> **Registration → Approval → Tags → Catalog & Access Locks**

This page explains how to connect those pieces.

***

**1. High-level flow**

1. **Customer fills in B2B registration form**
   * Company name, VAT/tax ID, website, expected order volume, etc.
2. **You (or your team) review and approve**
   * Approve, reject, or ask for more info.
3. **On approval, the app adds tags to the customer**
   * Example: `b2b-approved`, `wholesale`, `eu-distributor`.
4. **B2B Lock uses those tags**
   * To unlock B2B-only content (collections/pages).
   * To show/hide prices.
   * To separate B2B and B2C catalogs.

Once this is in place, your B2B experience becomes:

* Public visitors → see only public catalog.
* Approved B2B visitors → after login, see all the B2B content unlocked by tags.

**2. Step-by-step: connect registration to tags**

**In BSS B2B Solution:**

1. Set up your **B2B registration form** (e.g., “Wholesale signup”).
2. Configure the approval workflow:
   * When you approve an application, the app **adds tags** to that customer.
   * Decide on tag names such as:
     * `b2b-approved`
     * `wholesale`
     * `silver`, `gold`
3. Test:
   * Submit a test application.
   * Approve it.
   * Check the customer record in Shopify → confirm tags are added.

These tags are now your **keys** for B2B Lock.

**3. Step-by-step: use tags in BSS B2B Lock**

**In B2B Lock, for any rule:**

1. Go to **Locks → Add lock rule**, select **Create my own lock** and click **Continue** (or edit an existing lock).
2. In **Step 1 – Lock Target**, choose what to lock and click **Next**.
3. In **Step 2 – Access & Message**, click **User type** in the **Rule 1** card and select **Tagged customers – Must have specific tags**:
   * Enter `b2b-approved`
   * Or specific tags like `wholesale`, `eu-distributor`, `silver`, `gold`.
4. On the **Preview** card, click **Customize message** and write a lock message like:
   * “This area is for approved B2B customers. Please apply for access or log in with your approved email.”
5. Click **Save** in the Contextual Save Bar (or in **Step 3 – Exclude Pages**).

Examples:

* Lock wholesale collection:
  * Tags: `wholesale`, `b2b-approved`.
* Lock B2B info page:
  * Tags: `b2b-approved`.
* Hide prices from non-B2B:
  * Condition: **Tagged customers** with `b2b-approved`.

**4. Benefits of this integration**

* **No double work**
  * You only manage approvals in one place (B2B & Wholesale Solution).
  * Tags are automatically updated; B2B Lock just reads them.
* **Clean separation of responsibilities**
  * B2B & Wholesale Solution → registration, approval, data collection, and tags.
  * B2B Lock → what each tagged customer can see and access.
* **Scalable**
  * You can add more tags and rules over time: regional B2B, tiers, different catalogs.

Once you think of tags as your **“access passes”**, integrating B2B Lock with B2B & Wholesale Solution becomes very natural.
