# General Settings

### Account Information

General account configuration information. Enter or edit your **Account Name** and **Subdomain** as needed. Your subdomain is the address to which customers will be re-direct once they've initiated the purchasing process from your website. The actual transaction takes place on your BDP subdomain.&#x20;

### Primary Contact

Enter the first and last name of the principal owner of the account.&#x20;

**Primary Email Address-** this email address will be used to send receipts to your customers. This address cannot be a "public" address (Gmail, Hotmail, etc.) and must use your company's domain. Once entered, click "Save" to send a verification email to this address from [Postmark](https://postmarkapp.com/). Follow the email prompt to confirm the email as valid for sending order confirmations (receipts).&#x20;

### Company Information

Provide general company contact information, including **website, phone, address & timezone**.&#x20;

**Google Delivery Area** refers to an optional Google Merchant Center field that specifies delivery areas based on zip code.  See [Google's Documentation](https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/6324484) and/or [Contact BDP Support](mailto:support@bulkdelivery.pro) for more information.&#x20;

### Sharing

Enable **Customer Referrals** if you'd like your business to be listed as a delivery option for another BDP tenant. A link to your business will appear if another BDP Tenant also has this setting enabled AND a customer's address falls within one of your zones (but outside theirs).

* *Customer Referrals turned off*- if a customer tries to order from your BDP catalog, but their address is outside your delivery zones, they'll be re-directed to your Contact Page to inquire whether other delivery options exist (such as a custom [Estimate](/estimates/estimates.md)).
* *Customer Referrals turned on*- in the same scenario described above, if the customer's address falls within another BDP tenant's delivery zones (and they also have referrals enabled), it will re-direct the customer to visit that neighboring BDP tenant's catalog. Your company would be provided the same courtesy should the situation be reversed.&#x20;
