STEP 1: Create a standard account record type. Here is the click-path:
1. Go to Setup and search for Record Types in the Quickfind box.
2. Create a new Account Record Type
3. You can use "Business Account" or similar as the record type name if you do not have an existing Account record type, but at least one Account record type must exist. You do not need to enable for Profiles (unless you intend to use this record type). Click Next.
4. Accept all defaults on the next page and click Save.
STEP 2: Ensure the organization-wide sharing settings have been set for the Contact records to be "Controlled by Parent". This can be verified through this click-path:
Setup and search for Sharing Settings in the Quickfind box.
STEP 3: Ensure all of the profiles have at least 'Read' permissions on the Account and Contacts objects. This can be verified for each profile using this click-path:
Click Setup | Search for Profiles in the Quickfind box.
STEP 4: Please be aware of the following limitations:
-Person accounts are currently not supported in the Offline Edition as it will not be visible.
-If you are using Outlook or Notes, you must upgrade to version 3.2.
-Converting existing customer accounts to person accounts will require a data conversion process. More information about this process can be found here:
https://na3.salesforce.com/help/doc/en/salesforce_B2C_implementation_guide.pdf
https://na3.salesforce.com/help/doc/en/salesforce_B2C_cheatsheet.pdf.
Since this feature can not be disabled, we strongly encourage customers to evaluate B2C in a test (30 Day free trial) or sandbox instance before enabling B2C in a production org. It is also recommended that any data conversion process be tested in one of these environments prior to converting production data.
STEP 5: Enable Person Account at Magento side
