User Management

User Roles

User Roles let you designate an account with a specific role in your store. Administrator and Shopper come built in — every new customer lands in the Shopper role automatically — and custom roles unlock powerful features like member-only pricing.

Why Create a Custom Role?

Create a new user role and you can build custom pricing on your store for users logged in with that role. A ‘wholesale’ role, for example, lets you set unique per-product pricing that only appears for customers who log in with a wholesale account. Retail shoppers see retail prices. Wholesale buyers see theirs. One store, every audience.

Editing User Roles

Simply edit a user role and give it a unique name to identify it. You can also choose whether the role has access to your EasyCart administrative area — useful when setting up our external apps for tablets, phones, and other devices.

💡 Note: Remote admin access works with our external desktop and tablet apps. In the Desktop app, you can create a user account here and grant access to only the orders, products, or marketing panels — perfect for limited-access staff.
