Enabling business accounts

This article will teach you how to establish different types of user accounts. In Listivo Panel > User Panel > Business Account you can enable a business account for your users.

The Business Account tab of Listivo Panel > User Panel in WordPress admin, with the Account Type option ticked so users determine whether the account is private or business

We add some additional options to configure a business account. At first, you can give your users the option to change the account type at any time.

The same tab with the Change Account Type option ticked, allowing a user to change the account type at any time

It will look like that on the user panel.

The Settings page of the front-end user panel, with the Account Type dropdown open under Account Details offering Private and Business

Full name of a company representative

You can enable the full name of a company representative and decide if it is required (this option forces visibility on the registration form).

The "Full name of a company representative" section with Enabled and Required both ticked, and a note that a required field must always be on the registration form

It looks like that on the registration form.

The Register form with the Business account type selected and required First Name and Last Name fields highlighted, each flagged "Field is required"

Company information field

You can also set the company information field. The below example shows the field on the register form, but it isn't required.

The "Company information field" section with Enabled and Show on register form ticked, and Required left unticked, above the Save Changes button

It looks like that on the registration form.
