B2B Commerce

Salesforce B2B commerce at a glance

B2B Commerce Cloud, in its simplest form, is e-commerce for B2B organisations. It enables customers to order products, parts or solutions via an online web shop, rather than getting a quote from a dedicated salesperson.

What’s brilliant about the Salesforce B2B Commerce solution is that it directly integrates with Salesforce Sales Cloud (amongst others), bringing together all data from the sales team and any self-serve orders. 

The solution originated back in 2016 after Salesforce acquired Demandware; however, it was later built natively into the Salesforce platform to better meet the needs of customers. B2B Commerce takes a load off the minds of your sales team as it removes the admin-heavy processes of repeat or smaller orders. 

We all, as business buyers, have come to expect the same kind of buying experiences we receive as personal consumers: convenience, 24/7 self-service, personalisation, fast re-ordering and importantly, transparent pricing. 

And this is exactly what B2B Commerce offers your customers.

B2B Commerce Key Features

Self-Service Buying Portals

Just like a typical e-commerce website, customers can access fully branded self-service storefronts. Inside their portal, customers can:

  • Browse products
  • View contract pricing
  • Place bulk or repeat orders
  • Track orders and invoices
  • Manage users and permissions

Personalised Buyer Experience

Within the portal, you can completely personalise the experience for each customer with negotiated pricing, tailored offers and bespoke product listings. This way, the customer can only see the products and prices that are relevant to them.

Integrate Agentforce to automate optimised pricing, inventory updates and personalisation.

Quotes, Orders & Reordering

As Salesforce B2B Commerce Cloud is linked directly to Sales Cloud, you can give customers access to quotes and speed up the ordering workflow. Customers can easily approve quotes and turn them into orders or quickly re-order a past purchase.

Where required, sales reps can step into the process to assist with more complex deals; however, the portal itself speeds up these sales processes.

Multi-Site and Multi-Language Support

If you are operating internationally, the B2B Commerce platform enables you to launch sites in any region, whilst managing them all from one admin.

You can localise language, currency, catalogue, and seamlessly share rules, promos, and business logic across sites to meet complex buyer needs.

  • Better visibility across sales and commerce
