The online channel provided with Commerce can support e-commerce scenarios for both business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) organizations. Businesses can now use all the robust B2C features provided in the Commerce online channel to create compelling and personalized shopping experiences for their B2B customers, and more capabilities to support the unique requirements of B2B. These are:
Online account setup and a defined onboarding process for approving new account requests in the back office.
