THE LATEST PRODUCT UPDATES

You have more control over customer payments – and managing credit and cashflow is easier – with this update to the B2B store. You can now enforce payment at an account level – meaning no more waiting for customers to pay for their orders

To use this feature, head to store settings > payment settings, and toggle on ‘Enable payments for registered customers’. You can then specify which customers have to ‘place order and pay’ when they reach the checkout.

Show off more of your popular categories and increase sales with this update to your store, which lets you display 8 popular categories on your homepage – an increase from the previous limit of 4.

You can now set minimum order values in your B2B store so customers can only place orders above a certain value, ensuring your orders are large enough to meet your freight, production or purchasing requirements. 

Requesting access to your B2B store is now clearer and simpler for your customers with these two updates:

• Your customers will now see an ‘Optional’ tag on fields that are not required.  
• The description of each field is now outside each response box, so this label doesn’t disappear as your customers enter their information. 

Your customers will find navigating your B2B store quicker and simpler with these updates:

• At the bottom of each page seven page numbers are displayed that your customers can click on, rather than one – making it easier to jump across multiple pages.  
• Or your customers can use the new ‘Go to’ field on the page to move directly to a page they specify.  
• Your customers also have more options and a higher limit for the number of items displayed on each page: 20, 40, 60, 80 or 100. 

Several enhancements to B2B eCommerce in May make using your store easier – for both you and your customers:

• Your B2B store now only shows those categories that have Products assigned to them, so your customers only see relevant category options.
• Your customers’ Shipping Addresses are now ordered alphanumerically – so they can find and select their delivery details with ease.
• The B2B Request Access form for customers now has 9 new fields – such as address and EORI number – which reduces the extra admin needed to sign new clients up to your Unleashed B2B store.

With this update you can now search for items in your B2B store by scanning or inputting a barcode number – simplifying the process of finding items in your catalogue.

If you use the B2B store for sales in a setting like a showroom or wine cellar, you can also use this barcode functionality to search for products and add them to your customer’s cart to streamline your sales process.

This time-saving update gives you more options for filtering Customers and Products in your B2B store.

You can now select and combine multiple filters – and use additional filter options like Product Status – to find what you need in one go. This is especially handy for bulk actions (e.g. ‘Make Sellable’ in Products), which can be applied to your filtered results.

With this enhancement to the B2B store, your never-diminishing products will always be displayed as in stock. This means customers will see these products as available for purchase – increasing your potential sales, and reducing the manual work of responding to customer queries about stock levels and alternatives. 

B2B eCommerce has had a couple of menu changes to make getting to and updating your store easier. The new B2B shortcut in the main menu of Unleashed means you can now navigate directly to your store. Within your store, you’ll notice that the settings menu now appears in a more intuitive order. 

Updating products and customers in your store just got a whole lot easier. Your complete inventory and customers are now automatically synced from Unleashed. This means you no longer have to push this information from Unleashed to your store. You’ll find all your products and customers listed in your store settings, and all you need to do is select the products you want to make saleable and the customers you want to invite. 

Sending multiple packages just got easier with this enhancement to the Advanced Shipping Module. Now, when you ship internationally, a new pop-up will let you split the contents across multiple packages.

B2B Premium and Premium + accounts can now set up and apply freight fees to your customers’ orders. Create rates based on geographic locations and sell price tiers, with the option to automatically apply freight taxes to all orders.

This enhancement not only automates your freight charge processes, it also improves your customers buying experience in your store with transparency on your delivery charges and immediate processing.

We’ve created a new way for you to promote your products. B2B Premium and Premium Plus accounts now have the option to add a promotional footer featuring up to five products in selected customer emails.

This will allow you to highlight products and encourage further sales.

This enhancement to all B2B Stores (Basic and Premium accounts) enables you to specify delivery and non-delivery days. You can also set non-delivery periods — great for when you’re closed over holidays.

This gives your customers clarity on delivery availability, preventing them from selecting unavailable delivery dates, and managing their lead time expectations.

Standing orders are a great way of creating a reliable source of repeat sales. With these enhancements to the standing orders feature in the B2B Store, we’ve further minimised the administrative effort to manage and update them.

Available to B2B Store Premium and Premium+ accounts, you and your customers can now:

• Create and edit names of standing orders
• Edit the quantity of items in existing standing orders
• Add or remove products in existing standing orders

Choose to display your stock availability in your B2B Store. If you’re a Premium or Premium Plus customer with multiple warehouses, you can also further display stock levels across your warehouses.

B2B Premium and Premium+ accounts now have the option to display the estimated date of arrival of out-of-stock products. This will give your customers more certainty when wanting to preorder out-of-stock items.
