More detail
Customer account management
Your customers will reap more benefits from using your Aphix WebShop if they have an account. Having an account provides them with a WebShop dashboard from where they can quickly carry out many tasks, such as storing delivery and billing addresses, viewing online order history, storing favourites and building orders for future use.
For B2B trade customers, your customers can automatically set up their own WebShop account provided you have well-maintained customer contacts in your ERP.
For all other customers, your customers can follow the standard account registration workflow.
For all customers who have a WebShop account, standard functionality
- supports secure login,
- provides access to a range of self-service options,
- has password reset function, if your customer has forgotten their password.

Customer group
Create a customer group to restrict certain Aphix WebShop pages to a particular set of customers. You can create and manage customer groups in Aphix Management Interface. Read more information here.
Customer-specific product lists
A product list allows you to sort your products into different lists. Once segmented into lists, assign customers to different lists as you require. Customers can be assigned to multiple product lists. This feature allows you to manage which customers see which products, allowing you to create a more focused sales strategy.
As standard, four product list types available:
- The default product list shows your logged in customer what products are included in their list
- The restricted product list restricts products on the list to only be visible to customers that have been assigned to that list
- The registration product list restricts purchase of products to your logged in customers
- The coupon product list shows a customer all products, but can also be used to set criteria under which a coupon applies.
Also, you can add categories to a product list.
Gated login
Use WebShop's gated login feature to restrict access WebShop’s functionality. Your customer must have an account with you to use your eCommerce site. Gated login is mandatory for Aphix B2B portal (also known as the Customer Portal). It is optional in both B2B and B2C eCommerce.
