# Companies

Companies are groups of consumers who have created an account to make purchases or engage with online shopping activities. Once part of a company, a consumer can switch from one account to the other.\
\
Companies allow corporate clients to group their employees into one account so that they can make purchases on the company's behalf. An owner can be assigned to the company's account to approve an order made by the other members.

The advantage of this is that while consumers can still buy under their Individual accounts, they can also switch to the company account and see different selling prices, payment methods and even different products.
