OK, so here is my situation...
Our store (like many I am sure) sells to both retail/commercial customers as well as direct to consumers. When a customer account is created and stored it is indexed and then displayed in the admin panel /admin/customers/ by "Name" (First Name and Last Name of the individual). This is fine for our individual consumers, but it is NOT good for our commercial/retail customers.
Additional Info:
I tag customers appropriately as "consumer" or "commercial" and use the app Lockdown to restrict a collection of products only for our commercial customers.
Question:
Is there a way to display the commercial customers in the /admin/customers/ page by their "Company" field vs. "Name"?
OR... Can/should I create custom account registration form that replaces/uses the "Name" field with the "Company" field only for commercial customers?
Any thoughts on how to accomplish this would be GREATLY appreciated!!
Thanks,
