About Sub-accounts

Sub-accounts can facilitate different personnel to operate accounts. For example, the salesperson in charge of listing can do so by opening the permissions related to listing. It can also facilitate customer service operations in charge of emails by opening permissions such as order query, message, feedback, etc. However, if the main account does not open the relevant permissions for the sub-account, the sub-account cannot operate.
