# Enable Draft Orders

Draft Orders is off by default. Turn it on, choose who can submit, set the button label and the shop default payment term.

## 1. Open Draft Orders settings

In your Shopify admin go to **Apps → Nileva B2B → Orders → Draft Orders**, then click **Settings** in the top-right.

## 2. Turn it on

Toggle **Enable Submit Order for Approval**. This is the master switch — while off, the storefront shows the normal Checkout button and nothing changes.

> The storefront app embed **Nileva B2B Wholesale** must also be enabled in your theme (**Theme editor → App embeds**) for the button to appear.

## 3. Eligibility — who can submit orders

| Mode                                      | Who can submit                                                      | When to choose                                       |
| ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Approved B2B customers only** (default) | Customers whose Shopify tag matches one of your Customer Group tags | Recommended — keeps retail buyers on normal checkout |
| **Any logged-in customer**                | Any signed-in customer                                              | Looser, if you don't tag B2B customers yet           |
| **Everyone**                              | Anyone, including guests                                            | High-trust or invite-only stores                     |

The check runs on the storefront (to swap the button) and again on the backend at submit, so it can't be bypassed by editing the page.

## 4. Button label

Set the text shown on the storefront button (default **"Submit Order for Approval"**). This is a single value you type in your own language.

## 5. Checkout button selector (advanced)

Leave blank — the app auto-detects your theme's Checkout button (Dawn and most free themes are covered out of the box). Only set a CSS selector here if your theme uses an unusual Checkout button the app can't find.

## 6. Shop default payment term

Choose the term used when a customer isn't in a group — Due on receipt (pay now) or Net 15 / 30 / 45 / 60 / 90. See [Payment terms](/orbit-b2b-docs/draft-orders/payment-terms.md) for the full cascade (group default beats shop default; you can override per order).

## 7. Auto-create (optional)

Turn on **Auto-create draft order & send invoice on submit** to skip manual review — see [Auto-create on submit](/orbit-b2b-docs/draft-orders/auto-confirm.md). Leave off (default) to review and confirm each order yourself.

## 8. Notifications

* **Email admin on new order request** — you're notified when a request is submitted
* **Email customer an order confirmation on submit** — a logged-in buyer gets an email listing what they ordered, marked *awaiting approval*
* **Email customer the payment link if Shopify's invoice email fails to send** — a backup only. On confirm, Shopify emails the buyer the invoice; this sends the payment link from the app if that email fails

See [Draft Order emails](/orbit-b2b-docs/draft-orders/emails.md).
