Useful information
Employee users can view business account information only when they sign in through a web browser (desktop or mobile browser).
Business account information is currently not available in the Viva.com mobile app.
If a user already has a Viva.com account with the same credentials, or is already a user on another Viva.com business account, the new business account will appear alongside their existing accounts after it is added.
Merchants can create an unlimited number of employee users.
