Did you know that 93 percent of B2B buyers prefer to purchase online? These customers prefer to interact with the vendor directly using an intuitive, user-friendly online shopping interface. Stand out from the crowded online B2B marketplace with an eCommerce website that prioritizes easy self-service.
At the same time, you can’t afford to ignore your other sales channels. You sell to customers via distributors and dealers. You sell in bulk to institutional buyers. You sell via online marketplaces. And you sell direct-to-consumer, too. How do you manage your eCommerce website and online sales to all these channels?
The solution is to create a website that integrates B2C, B2B and D2C channel sales in the same online store. Adobe Commerce’s Integrated B2B commerce solution integrates easily with existing and new backend systems.

Why do you need an integrated B2C+B2B website?
The basic difference between a B2B business model and B2C lies in the order process. As a B2B order is typically much larger in volume than a B2C transaction, it requires special quotation and approval. Even when a volume-based rate card is available, negotiation is often the order of the day. On the other hand, an eCommerce website typically adopts a transactional approach. Items are added to the cart, their value is computed and payment is processed. For this reason, eCommerce websites are often less popular among businesses with a primary B2B focus.
What is an integrated website, and how does it work?
An integrated website enables you to sell to multiple audiences, including businesses and consumers, from a single window. Using this new kind of B2B eCommerce platform, you can assign custom catalogs and price lists, and empower institutional customers with convenient purchasing options. You increase overall engagement and sales, thanks to the simplified billing and purchase process.
In addition, because you’re only using a single portal, all customers engage with common branding, without multiple instances.
But I only sell to businesses - do I still need an integrated website?
An integrated B2B website doesn’t just enable you to sell to consumers as well as businesses. It incorporates various elements of consumer-oriented eCommerce to deliver a high-quality online shopping experience for every category of customer.
Besides, it’s important to remember that even business shoppers are individuals! B2B buyers use eCommerce for their personal needs too. They’re used to the user-friendly, self-service nature of B2C eCommerce.
In addition, the sector is in a state of rapid evolution. You can’t restrict yourself to a rigid B2B strategy that’s wholly standardized across all touchpoints. A flexible, intelligent solution prioritizes B2B eCommerce without devaluing B2C or D2C eCommerce. It helps you embrace new channels and business models, to meet evolving market demands.

Another point to consider is that some of your customers may be interested in very small order quantities from your product catalog for personal use. These direct-to-consumer sales can also be captured by the same integrated B2B eCommerce website, instead of requiring a special order process or separate website.
An integrated website also lets you empower your retail customers with an easy method to buy your products online, avoiding intermediaries. This is especially valuable as you build your distributor/dealer network.
