    Default Multiple Customer Login

    I am wanting to have more than one customer login per account, so that, for example, an email is sent to both the person ordering and the person who does the accounts.
    This is because we have customers who place orders (managers) who need to be able to log in and be updated when orders are updated, plus the accounts person needs to get the invoices and know when things are sent, check the account status, etc.
    Is this as simple as adding an extra email address to the database customer table? They can use the same password, just need to have multiple recipients of emails and the ability for both to log in.
    Thanks in advance for any help that can be given.

    Default Re: Multiple Customer Login

    I'm pretty sure you can only use one email address as a login to any particular account.

    Could they 'share' a third email address and use that just for Zencart?

    Default Re: Multiple Customer Login

    Thanks Stevesh.

    That is actually a great idea, as we can use an alias on our server to redirect the emails to both of the required accounts.

    Has any one done an implementation that has the additional log in though?

    Ultimately it would be great if they could put their additional email (such as accounts department) during the sign up process (just like a commercial account application).

    However, without the ability to add the extra email address this shared email address would be a great work around.
