AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0

Lets online shoppers choose whether they are buying as a private customer (B2C) or a company (B2B) during sign-up, checkout and in their account area, so the right taxes and fiscal position are applied.

This module adds a "Partner Type" selector to the customer-facing parts of your website, so shoppers can say whether they are an end customer or a company. The choice appears in three places: the sign-up form, the billing step of the website checkout, and the customer portal page where a logged-in user edits their details.

  • On the website configuration screen (Website form, "B2B/B2C Website Info" tab, visible to website designers) you can write two HTML texts: one shown when the shopper picks B2B and one when they pick B2C. The sign-up page shows the matching text as soon as the selector changes.
  • The default value comes from the company's default fiscal position type, or from the type already stored on the customer's contact record; if the shopper submits an invalid form, their last choice is kept.
  • Business rule: once invoices or other documents have been issued for the account, the partner type can no longer be changed by the customer. The selector is disabled and an error message asks them to contact you directly.
  • The chosen type is stored on the contact (res.partner) and is carried through sign-up and checkout, so the fiscal position and taxes can be determined accordingly.

It touches the website, sign-up, checkout and portal screens, and the contact and user records behind them.
