B2bPlatformContext

What is the B2bPlatformContext?

In the Shopware standard there is already the normal SalesChannelContext, we have extended this via the "extension" accordingly with a new b2BPlatformContext to provide B2B-specific data in the user context.

Examples:

• Which employee of a "customer" is logged in?

• Is a sales employee logged in? And is he currently logged in to a customer.

• Is the employee an admin or not?

• Which employee with which role is logged in?

The b2bPlatformContext is available from anywhere. (Can be accessed from anywhere.)

Example:

Figure 1. This B2BPlatform Context shows that the user is an employee of a client (isEmployee: true).

Figure 2 - This B2bPlatformContext shows a loggedin sales representative who has not yet logged in to a customer employee.

Note alert

the B2BplatformContext is only set when you are logged in as, so we always recommend asking beforehand.

if(!$context->hasExtension('b2bPlatformContext')) {
return; 
}

Alternatively, the B2BPlatformContext can always be requested via the B2bContextTrait (see documentation B2bContextTrait).

Note Alert:

In the employeeCustomer is the connection table between the logged-in employee and the assigned customer. The role, admin, etc. are maintained here.

Examples:

Figure 3. Here will be checked whether the logged-in user is a sales employee.

Figure 4: Here, the logged-in employee will be queried via the B2bPlatformContext. Notice. These are the general employee data, not the employees ->mapping -> Customer data.
