Trade account

A trade account is a customer account for a business that buys wholesale or on trade terms. It typically carries business details, special pricing, payment terms and ordering rules that retail accounts do not have. Sellers usually approve a trade account after an application.

Example

A salon applies for a trade account, is approved, and from then on sees trade prices when it logs in.

In BSS B2B apps

BSS B2B Solution registration forms collect the application, and approval adds the tag that applies trade rules.
