Settings: Business settings

Business settings has two parts. The details of each business you bill under, and the details shared by your whole shop.

Each business has its own details

The pages under Businesses belong to one business. Changing them changes only that business. The pages under Shared by every business apply to your whole BytePhase account. See What each business has of its own.

To change a business, go to Settings › Business settings, open the business and click Edit business. Only staff with Business Settings — Manage businesses can do this. By default that’s an Admin.

Businesses

Lists your businesses, with Create business, Duplicate, Make default, Deactivate and Archive. See Add a second business, or archive one.
