B2B Buyers can only view channels that are relevant to them, based on mappings established in Commerce headquarters and site builder. - Channel switching with cart integrity: B2B buyers can now quickly switch between distributor channels. For example, when browsing products from one channel, they can switch to another. The cart remains consistent and linked to the original distributor's channel, ensuring that the product selection in one distributor channel's cart doesn't mix with another. - Dynamic catalog reset: Upon changing the distributor channel, the product catalog selection is automatically reset, ensuring that users always see products relevant to the chosen distributor channel. |
