Checkout Features to Increase Customer
Conversion
1) Identification and Correct Placement Of B2B
Customers with CTAs When your ecommerce shop
serves both B2C and B2B customers minimal
business ecommerce solutions, many potential B2B
customers often sample products on the B2C site
first.
Providing an optimum checkout experience
requires a combination of actions in both
Salesforce B2B Commerce Cloud and Salesforce
CPQ and Billing to produce the desired business
outcomes. These are listed below

• 2) Signup and Registration Of Customers
• Conversion of first-time or one-time B2B
  customers is the best way toward revenue growth,
  as returning customers are the largest source of
  income for B2B businesses. It is essential to
  maintain balance in the volume of information
  you ask from such customers in the form of
  identification credentials.

3) Autofill Options Per the Customers Choice B2B
customers are always looking for a personalized
customer experience. At the checkout stage, this
can be done for registered or returning customers
by providing the option for auto-filling details
in subsequent purchases.

4) Credit Detail Specification and Appropriate
Action Line Most of the time, the purchaser is a
company representative with a credit limit for
spending. They would not like to be blindsided
by finding out after the purchase that they
exceeded their spending limit. Therefore, the
checkout page must display such limitations and
how above or below that limit they are.
Moreover, if the buying company has an active
credit line or invoices due, you should remind
them of that.

5) Addition Of Purchase Order Attachments and
Notes Company representatives often prefer to
have purchase order numbers and documents
attached to the invoice that would be sent to the
account payables department of their company to
facilitate the verification process. They may
also want to attach notes to the invoice to
guide them further. Allowing these additions at
the checkout level makes the process easy and
convenient.

6) Direct Billing Provisions for Efficiency In
the same vein as above, representatives may
prefer the invoice to be sent directly to their
account payables department to reduce the steps
and time required. However, they might also want
to route it through themselves for various
reasons. It is best to allow them to make a
choice themselves to avoid confusion and
inconvenience.
7) Targeted and Effective Upsells, Cross-sells,
and Complimentary Services The checkout page is
the perfect place to offer discounts, rebates,
add-ons, complimentary services, and
recommendations. When customers are on the verge
of completing their purchase, a surprise offer or
an additional purchase is most tempting. Both
result in increased conversions and returning
customers.

08) Saving and Follow-Up For Abandoned Carts
The last thing any B2B customer wants is to spend
hours recreating the cart if they mistakenly
exited it. You can prevent this by saving their
abandoned cart till their next visit. If the
abandonment was intentional, make use of
Salesforce checkout analytics to figure out why
and decide upon an appropriate follow-up action.
