What is an eCommerce portal? What are the benefits of using one? What features should you look for?
When it comes to B2B eCommerce, the eCommerce portal is where the magic happens – whether you’re a buyer or a brand.
An eCommerce portal is basically an online wholesale hub. Brands showcase their products and key information to sell to their B2B customers online. Buyers use their wholesale eCommerce portals (such as a buyer login for NuORDER), to browse and shop brands from around the globe. With features ranging from rich multimedia images to important integrations with ERPs for live, accurate inventory information, they’ve become an essential part of the industry.
Having everything in one online portal has been game-changing.
Buyers and brands are buying and selling from anywhere, 24/7. They’re reducing or eliminating human error and cutting down on paperwork and travel. And B2B eCommerce systems are accelerating the industry's transition to virtual and hybrid sales with easy 1-click shopping, true-to-life product details, remote collaboration, and payments support, such as automatically collecting payment upon shipping.
If you are ready to make the commitment to move to a B2B eCommerce platform, look for a solution that has the best features:
NuORDER’s brand and buyer portals have a lot of features in common. They’re also standardized yet customizable, so they’re always straightforward and easy to navigate.
Still, they differ in a few important ways...
Pro Tip: Help buyers navigate your NuORDER portal with a strategically-merchandised homepage. Feature key designs from your latest collection, on-brand colors and fonts, images or videos from your latest campaign, a mood board or inspiration and a quick link to your linesheets for fast and easy shopping.
