I want to set the choices in the drop down menu.

Ok, that makes it a little clearer for me. So, is it possible to have many
sub accounts of one account? Can they each have a different username or do
they have to have the same login as the main account?

Yeah, i know it's defaulted, but odds are, we're going to need to change
that and I wanted to know if that would create a problem in OG.

So, if this reseller who has his main account and a bunch of sub accounts
changes his credit card info, I've got to change it for each sub-account?
