Change user role to “B2B” upon user registration not customer

Hi there,

Are you using B2BKing’s WP Roles? Or do you have a custom role named ‘B2B’ for example?

If you have a custom role named B2B, and you want to give all b2b users that register this role, you can simply use this PHP code snippet:

add_action('woocommerce_created_customer', function($user_id){

	$user_status = get_user_meta($user_id, 'b2bking_account_approved', true);
	
	if($user_status === 'no'){
		$user_obj = new WP_User($user_id);
		$user_obj->add_role('b2b_role');
	}

}, 10000, 1);

This snippet does not depend on the group. It will give every user with ‘manual approval’ the ‘b2b_role’ role. (you need to rename ‘b2b_role’ to the name of your desired role)

Thank you for getting back to me,

By default B2BKing does not use WP roles like ‘customer’, ‘subscriber’, etc.

Did you already follow the guide here to make it use WP roles? https://woocommerce-b2b-plugin.com/docs/how-to-use-wp-roles-with-b2bking/

By default we do not remove the ‘customer’ role, because normally every customer in WooCommerce (b2c or b2b customer) should also have the ‘customer’ role. So we give the user multiple roles.

If you want to remove the ‘customer’ role for B2B users, you could use this snippet:

This snippet removes the customer role, but it will work only for users who register with MANUAL approval. The snippet works during user registration.

add_action('woocommerce_created_customer', function($user_id){

	$user_status = get_user_meta($user_id, 'b2bking_account_approved', true);
	
	if($user_status === 'no'){
		$user_obj = new WP_User($user_id);
		$user_obj->remove_role('customer');
	}

}, 10000, 1);
