Storefront
There are many prebuilt, mobile-optimised themes to use that enable your site design to match your brand perfectly. Shoppers will have no problem finding, exploring and purchasing your products with a rich set of features like alternative images, saved shopping carts, product comparisons and list creation.
Features like powerful site search and faceted navigation means shoppers will have no problem locating the products they need. They will also enjoy the intelligent product recommendations for smart upsells and cross-sells.
Billing
Speed up your billing process with automation that gives buyers the ability to review and manage their payments online. Business accounts can be assigned their own negotiated prices, along with terms and credit limits, and you can offer diverse payment methods like ACH processing and invoice billing.
Purchasing
Provide the tools to make online purchasing simple, like repeat, routine and bulk ordering. Connect supply and sales through integrations with vendors, distributors and manufacturers in a single, centralised platform. This way, online orders will automatically generate invoices with workflow management steps like approval, fulfillment and billing.
Restricted access
Limit the exposure of your wholesale catalogue to approved buyers. New wholesale accounts requests can be qualified with the establishment of automated checkpoints so that new registrations are held until they are approved.
Account management
Help business buyers with their efficiency by offering direct access to things like account balances, credit memos and deposits. Promote self service for returns so shoppers can initiate the online return process. Clients will be more engaged and satisfied with the ability to submit queries to your customer support. They can also have full access to their order histories so that they can reorder items they purchased before.
Site management
With user-friendly drag-and-drop site management tools, you can enhance existing pages, add landing pages and manage all the content on your website with ease. Work on the changes you want then schedule when they go live or publish them instantly. All revisions can be tracked and audited.
Reporting and analytics
Ecommerce dashboards, key performance indicators and predefined reports are all available to help drive sales and boost performance. Monitor every aspect of your website performance in real-time. This enables insights into the activities of all shoppers so that you can create customer profiles to optimise your marketing activities.
