As more business-to-business (B2B) purchasing moves online, buyers expect effective digital experiences. You can adopt useful business-to-consumer (B2C) patterns while accounting for requirements specific to B2B ecommerce. With Algolia, you can benefit from these features:
  • Powerful, integrated search. Use Algolia’s UI libraries Autocomplete and InstantSearch.js to build search interfaces that fit B2B buyers’ needs, with predictive suggestions that include the latest trends, speed up repeat purchases, and let buyers find products, FAQs, technical specs, or other information in one search.
  • Search by SKU and other numbers. B2B buyers look for specific products and specs. They often use product ID numbers, such as stock keeping units (SKU). Set up Algolia so buyers can search for product numbers and filter by specific dimensions.
  • Personalized catalogs. You offer many products in many variations, but each buyer may have different access rights or see a different version of your product catalog. When buyers search or browse, they expect to see only the products they’re allowed to see.
  • Personalized pricing. Sellers set pricing, stock, and other terms for each buyer account, based on the specific deals between B2B buyers and sellers. With Algolia, you can make sure each buyer sees the terms that apply to them.
