Chapter 111 Company Upgrade
Company Upgrade lets you register additional users or feature sets for your company.
The Upgrade button is on the System toolbar, Company card tool, and has 32 options. These make a large change to how BigBusiness works and are not simply a Preference.
This Chapter lists a few that are easily documented. Some require their own chapter.
Company Upgrade
Company Upgrade lets you activate Add-Ons or Addtional Users for your Company.
Options include Add Users, Any API, Authorize.net, Auto-Import, Auto-Invoice, Auto Update, BigCommerce, Bins, CRM, Currencies, Ecwid, Folders, HubSpot, iPad, Middleware, Middleware Shipping, MySQL, MRP, Open Notify, PDF, Postgres, Prices, Shopify, Square, Stores, TaxJar, Warehouses, Web API, Web Notify, Web Server, WooCommerce, Zip-Tax.
Add Users
Add Users lets you add licenses to allow more people connect to Big Business Server.
Users are the number of Big Business Clients you can connect at one time. This can be as few as two or as many as 100, and is less than the number of people who might use.
It's like the number of seats at your conference table. Anyone can have Big Business Client on their computer, but only the number of Users can connect at the same time.
Any API
Any API lets you connect to a service you use that has a public API, to share its data.
A public API, or Open API, means the service can be accessed by customers' systems. BigBusiness includes a raft of tools to authenticate, connect, read, and write your data.
This is a starting point for a simple lookup, getting new data, or posting coded results. BigBusiness also has process-oriented connections like credit card, ecommerce, or tax.
Auto-Invoice Controls
Auto-Invoice Controls let you set presets to automatically convert orders to invoices.
CRM Controls
CRM Controls help you set automated actions in BigBusiness to help connect CRM.
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is usually software as a service to enable always-on features for monitoring web site visits, receiving requests, or tracking email.
To coordinate with BigBusiness, you want Contacts from CRM available to help create a Quote or Order for a web visitor and have them identified in both systems.
