# Using with BSS B2B Lock / Login

**BSS B2B Lock / Login** controls **who can see what** at the storefront level: lock pages, hide prices, or require login/passcodes.

Combined with Quotes & Quick Order, you get both:

* **Access control** (Lock/Login)
* **Ordering & quoting control** (Quick Order + RFQ)

#### 1. Typical combined flows

**Flow A – Private B2B portal**

* B2B Lock:
  * Lock Quick Order pages, Company customer pages, and any B2B content.
  * Only logged-in, tagged customers can access.
* Quotes & Quick Order:
  * For those customers, show Quick Order + RFQ using custom pricing or B2B catalogs.

**Flow B – Public catalog, private pricing**

* B2B Lock:
  * Keep most product pages visible to everyone.
  * Optionally hide prices for guests.
* Quotes & Quick Order:
  * Guests see “Login to see price” or RFQ-only views (via Quote Logic).
  * Logged-in B2B customers see full prices + Quick Order + RFQ options.

**Flow C – Tiered access (VIP or region-based)**

* B2B Lock:
  * Use rules to segment access by tag/region (e.g. EU vs US).
* Quotes & Quick Order:
  * For each segment, use specific Quick Order pages / Quote Logic rules:
    * Different products
    * Different RFQ behavior
    * Different hide/show price rules

#### 2. Best practices

* Decide your **access strategy** first with B2B Lock:
  * Who can see the store?
  * Who can see B2B pages?
  * Who can see prices?
* Then configure **Quick Order + RFQ** on top:
  * For allowed users, design the exact combination of:
    * Price visibility
    * Add to Cart vs RFQ
    * Quick Order vs regular PDPs

Used together, Shopify Plus B2B, B2B Wholesale Solution, B2B Lock, and B2B Quotes & Quick Order form a cohesive B2B Suite:

* Shopify/B2B apps handle **identity, catalogs, and access**
* This app handles **how B2B buyers place bulk orders and request quotes** in one consistent workflow.
