Optimize your Commerce Site for the Holiday Rush

Winter is often the busiest time of year for retailers. As demand for products goes up, it’s important to ensure supplies remain accessible and processes remain efficient. Whether you sell directly to businesses or customers, now is a good time to optimize your commerce site for the busiest time of the year, and evaluate your current processes. Here are five free Labs apps you can use to get started.

B2B LE Video Player

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a million. Video consumption is at all time high this year, so what better way to showcase your product than demos and display ads? This component lets you embed videos right on your commerce site pages, so customers can view it right on the product listing.

B2B Order Grid

For B2B organizations, this solution can be a real timesaver for your customers. The B2B Order Grid enables customers to reorder entire past orders or specific product items with ease. This component surfaces a list of past orders for the current user to allow users to view quickly reorder entire orders or specific order products. It also enables them to filter products by year and search products by name or SKU. In addition, it supports both CMS and external images for your products and lets customers reset product quantities.

This package can also help you kickstart your own integrations with building blocks to complete standard tasks, like searching for a customer in B2C Commerce when a Contact is created, updating addresses in B2C Commerce right from Service Cloud, and much more.
