B2Bsellers launch event in January 2023

We would like to thank all participants of the successful launch event. Version 1.0 of the B2Bsellers Suite was presented during our live webcast on Jan. 24, 2023 and generated a lot of interest among all customers and partners. The exchange during the discussion was very informative and it was exciting to see how the new features can be applied in practice. We are looking forward to further developing the B2B Suite and enhancing it with more useful B2B functions.

B2B Connectors are not developed further

With version 1.0, the intended B2B connectors disappear from the portfolio. We prefer to focus on the functionalities in the store itself or recommend for data implementation our partners like yedi.

Originally, the connectors were meant to dock external APIs quickly and easily and implement the data in Shopware and the B2Bsellers Suite. Whether customer data, individual prices or employee accounts... This is now no longer developed.

NEW FEATURES

Employee uploads via CSV file

Have you ever had the thought of importing multiple employees into your company at the push of a button? With the function "Employee uploads via CSV file" this thought becomes reality!

This is especially useful when many new employees need to be created.

The CSV file must have a certain structure to import the data successfully. An export of the already existing employees gives you a template to copy from. Thanks to the 'Employee uploads via CSV file' feature, you can process data quickly and efficiently, saving time and resources. Alternatively, you can also generate an invitation link and share it with your team.

Customer-specific Assortments

With the new addon "Custom Assortments", we enable you to map customer-specific product assortments in the online store at category level. This allows you to display different products to different customers, including products specially manufactured / labeled for the customer or relevant spare parts for the machines used by the customer.

You can also display special sections of your assortment only for certain customer groups. Your customers also have the option to make certain products from the offered complete assortment not orderable.

The extensions "OCI-Punchout" & "cXML/Ariba-Punchout" have been added as addons to B2BsellersCore

These extensions "OCI-Punchout" & "cXML/Ariba-Punchout" are now part of our B2BsellersCore and enable our customers to make their purchasing process even more efficient and easier. This saves time and reduces manual errors.
