The Magento_CompanyCredit module adds the “Payment on Account” payment method for B2B companies. It also allows the credit history to be viewed from both Admin and the storefront.

With the Magento_Company Credit module

• a customer can pay orders with Payment on Account method (or in credit);
• an admin user can manage credit and credit settings for a company (in the admin panel);

The company credit functionality is available for company users only.
