How Salesforce B2B Commerce Lightning Helps?
Deliver better experiences with Lightning Experience Builder
Using the drag-and-drop components, you can build interactive storefronts quickly and easily. Also, the maintenance of e-commerce websites becomes hassle-free with Experience Builder as the storefront managers are able to update or build the storefronts with the help of a few clicks and no extensive coding knowledge is required. Experience Builder has several pre-built B2B Commerce Lightning Components along with an option to build custom Lightning Web Components for specific requirements.
Reduce manual efforts with standard objects
As B2B Commerce objects such as cart, product and category remain uniform across the Salesforce, managers or admins can save time and effort and maintain consistency across the entire storefront by creating these objects only once.
Introduce innovations quickly
Due to the declarative implementation approach, it’s easier to extend the out-of-the-box features and implement new custom components. It helps reduce the overall implementation timeline and enables businesses to get to the market faster.
Connected Experiences
You can create unified experiences across multiple touchpoints like Commerce, Service, and Marketing as the B2B Commerce is built on the Core Lightning platform and has access to data available across multiple Salesforce systems.
Automatic Upgrades
Quarterly upgrades on the Lightning platforms are automatically available to B2B Commerce as it’s native to the core platform and not installed as a managed package.
