Who Can Buy
Store administrators and the owner portal
Giving the client control of their own store: what an administrator can do, and why it is worth setting up on day one.
Last updated September 2, 2026
A store administrator is somebody on the client's side who can sign in and run their own shop. They get a portal of their own — not your Gorilla Dash account, and not the shopfront.
What an administrator can do
- See their store's orders, and the detail of each one.
- Approve or reject orders, where purchase approval is switched on.
- Manage their own users — add the new starter, remove the leaver.
- See what their people have spent.
Set it up on day one
This is the difference between a store that runs itself and one that lands on your desk every week. Name at least two administrators — one person goes on holiday, changes job, or forgets they had the login.
Primary administrators
Marking someone as a primary administrator makes them the store's main contact — the person notified and the person to chase when an order needs approving. Keep the list short: everyone being responsible is nobody being responsible.
