MAGENTO B2B FEATURES
(B2B) Shared Catalogs
A key feature of Adobe Commerce’s B2B feature set is the ability to create ‘shared’ catalogues that can feature custom pricing, products and permissions for designated companies. These catalogues can only be accessed by specific customer groups and can be further restricted to members of specific company accounts.
(B2B) Quick Order
This feature streamlines the order process by allowing customers who know product name or SKU, to add products to their basket by entering SKU and Quantity, either directly into the Quick Order form, or by CSV upload. The feature is available to guests and account holders. This feature is useful for large repeat orders, where quantities may change, but there are certain products that are always part of the regular order.
(B2B) Quotes
This feature is often replicated by the ‘Cart2quote’ module in Magento Open Source and allows an Admin to add an ‘authorized buyer’ from a company. This buyer can then initiate a ‘price quote’ from within the shopping cart. Quote requests can be managed via the admin, including the ability to view a history of the ‘negotiation’ and can export data for external use.
(B2B) Requisition Lists
This feature is similar to a ‘wishlist’ except products are not removed once they have been purchased. B2B customers can maintain ‘requisition lists’ so that it is easier to re-order products. Items in a requisition list can easily be moved or copied to another requisition list and added to a basket.
(B2B) Company Accounts
This feature allows a ‘guest’ visitor to request that a company account be opened, or for an Admin to create an account on their behalf. Once approved, the Company Admin can then set up the Company Structure, mange the Company Profile and add users and / or teams, plus allocate roles and permissions.
All this data can be managed by the Admin, who can also assign a Sales Representative to each company account in terms of the primary contact.
(B2B) Company Credit
This allows an Admin to extend a line of credit to B2B customers, who can then make purchases on their account up to a designated credit limit. A balance can be viewed in the Credit Activity Dashboard. A payment on the account toward the credit balance (outside of Magento) can be made by a customer by way of a ‘reimbursement balance’, which is then entered by the Admin.
(B2B) Payment On Account
This allows companies to make purchases up to their designated credit limit and is an additional offline payment method. This feature can be enabled globally or on a per company basis. When activated, a message appears at the top of the order that shows the status of the account and appears within the checkout process.
(B2B) Customer Account Dashboard Pages
Adobe Commerce’s customer account dashboard contains the following B2B orientated pages:
- • (B2B) My Quotes
- • (B2B) My Requisition Lists
- • (B2B) Company Structure
- • (B2B) Company Credit
- • (B2B) Company Profile
- • (B2B) Company Users
