Swift2 B2B checkout wishes #44
Description
A simple B2C checkout for a bike shop where the users are first finding the product is fine and all, but that really doesn't fit the needs of a B2B shop.
Major needs and differences:
Carts with a high number of orderlines ranging in 10s and 100s. It should be possible to easily see the products in the cart on screen, with the standard cart, the image is a big focus, the image is very unimportant for B2B, especially when talking about technical things that often don't even have an image. And this image is taking so much space and makign the order line take half the screen in size, with minimum information that is actually useful to the customer.
Product number is the most important field to show everywhere as a products with the same name and image, but a different product number are common and the product number is how the product is identified when ordering
Order line comment - very common requirement to provide an additional text from the customer for different needs (this is extremely common, we have custom order lines in the back end, why not have support for it on the front end ?)
Empty cart button - not sure why this is not in the template, if you need to empty the cart the only way is cart cmd or manually, both are not customer friendly
Possibility to configure which fields to show on the order line (otherwise we have to constatly customize everything)
Proposition: this is how a B2B cart looks like
Orderline: utilize the screen space to show more fields and more products on screen. Clearly defined actions that are more intutitve for people working on an ordering solution, not buying from Amazon.
The rest: the above requirements fufilled, with space left for extra content that can be added if the checkout app is made more in line with the component based approach in Swift (I am waiting for the day more than Christmas)
I don't know the ratio of B2B to B2C, but the B2B needs are really not met right now, the rest of the checkout steps are fine, this step is just about showing and managing the order lines, I don't think it's unreasonable to have a lot of the features on B2C either, like which fields to show, clear cart etc.
