6. Review the application

In the application detail you can see all the information submitted in the application form. All applications must be assigned to a customer in Shopify.

It will try to find a customer in Shopify as provided in the mandatory email field of the form. If no customer exists, you'll want to create a customer and then assign it to the application.

Creating and assigning a customer to the application

Assigning a company to the submission is optional, but helpful in managing Company teams. This way you can add additional users and apply discounts plus tax exemption status in bulk without additional applications being required.

Assigning a company to the application

Once you've approved the form, you'll be taken to either the company detail page or customer detail page in the app. Here you can assign a trade tier for discounts and tax exempt status.

That's it! You're now ready to start building out your trade program.
