Personalizing your Storefront

You can customize your B2B storefront to reflect your brand, mission and values, branding strategy, and commercial policy. So let’s see how you can make your B2B Wave eCommerce platform your own.

Editing your B2B Store’s Basic Info

To add and manage the primary information your customers can see on your storefront, such as your logo, company description, language options, country, and timezone, follow these steps: 

Step 1. Go to Settings >Profile and click the “Basic Info” tab. 

Step 2. Enter the necessary information in the appropriate fields. 

Specifically, here you need to specify the following:

Company name	Add here your company’s name
Email	Enter your company’s email (e.g., hello@wholesaledemo.com)
Language	Select your preferred language from the relevant drop-down menu. Remember that the option you select here will reflect on the email notifications you receive through B2B Wave, such as new order confirmations
Company description	Type a short description of your company. This description will appear in the “About” section at the footer of your storefront
Minimum order value	Set the minimum value required for an order, if applicable. By doing so, customers cannot confirm their order if its value is lower than the minimum one you have specified here
Country/Timezone	Select the appropriate country and time zone from the drop-down menu
Currency	Choose your currency from the drop-down menu
Logo	Drag and drop or click on the box to upload your company logo
Email signature	Type the text you want to use in all your email communications through B2B Wave. Remember that you can adjust your text using the available formatting options
Public products	Check this option to allow visitors to view products on your Home page without viewing their prices. Site visitors must log in to access the rest of your store, product pages, and pricing information
Public pages	Check this box to make your storefront public; this means that customers and unregistered users can browse your B2B portal normally. However, visitors can only view product prices if they log in or register for your store NOTE: If you check both the “Public product” and “Public pages” options, site visitors can browse your site and view your product offering. If you leave both boxes unchecked, visitors will only see your login page
Out of stock products status	Select from the drop-down menu you want to display on your storefront when a product runs out of stock (e.g., Pre-order, Sold Out, Not Available)

Step 3. Click “Save” to store the changes you have made.

Customizing your B2B Store’s Appearance

Default product view	Select if you want your products to appear in a list or grid view from the drop-down menu List view Grid view

Primary color	Choose the color of the navigation bar, various buttons, sidebar hover, and more
Primary font	Select the font of the header and the text throughout your site from the drop-down menu
