Shopware B2B Components as building blocks for online success

What does Shopware B2B Components offer?

Shopware has already proven itself in the past as a suitable platform for B2B organizations with the B2B Suite platform, which bundles all functionalities. The new framework Shopware B2B Components consists, as the name suggests, of all individual modules. Thanks to this flexible choice model, you combine modules with Shopware's standard Rule Builder and Flow Builder including a fully scalable B2B environment. B2B Components is available within the Shopware Evolve and Beyond editions.

The power of the various modules

Which modules fit your organization, strategy and business customers? We highlight the most important modules within Shopware B2B Components for you:

Quick order options

Relative to B2C orders, B2B orders are often large and complex. To avoid looking up dozens of products piece by piece through the category tree or search function, Shopware has created ways to make the ordering process more efficient. Business customers can:

• Enter item numbers and create an order list directly. No more opening product detail pages, but directly create a list of item numbers to which you only need to add the quantities.
• Upload Excel files with all desired products. With one upload, you add a bulk of products to the shopping cart.

This saves your business customers valuable time and makes the ordering process more user-friendly.

Quotation management

An important distinction between B2B and B2C is that business purchases are often based on quotes. With Shopware's quotation module, you maintain control over this process and the process is simplified for both buyer and seller. The entire quotation process takes place within Shopware: you receive requests, negotiate and convert quotations into final orders after approval. As a result, you work more efficiently and offer the business customer transparency during every step of the process.

Role Management

In many B2B organizations, multiple people are involved in the procurement process. The employee management module makes it easy to set roles and rights for each employee. Key features:

• Self-registration of accounts for business customers
• Create, activate, modify and delete employee accounts
• Set specific permissions per employee account
• Customize order flows with customizable approval processes

Suppose an employee with a lot of product knowledge may prepare an order but has no authority to actually place it. With this functionality, the employee prepares the order in your B2B platform. Then a colleague with the correct rights receives a notification to take the next step: checking and definitively placing the order. This process can be customized so that the right employees are activated at the right time with the correct authorizations.

Roles and permissions with budget limits

To go one step further, Shopware has created a separate module to set budget limits by role. This allows your business customers to keep a grip on their spending. Does an order exceed the set limit? Then an approval process is automatically activated, so the person with the appropriate rights is notified to approve the order.

Digital Sales Rooms

Shopware's Digital Sales Rooms module combines the advantages of e-commerce with personal interaction. Save time by no longer having to physically travel to (potential) customers, but present your collection online. Also, sending a dated PDF with out-of-stock products or missing information is a thing of the past. With Digital Sales Rooms, you always display up-to-date product data because it is integrated with the Shopware e-commerce platform.

Personalized shopping experience

Give customers the choice of a presentation where you personally guide them through the collection or the ability to explore products independently. Scheduling appointments is also easy; you send invitations automatically through the platform. This module increases engagement and provides a unique, personalized shopping experience. Digital Sales Rooms is available exclusively in the Beyond edition.
