VirtoCommerce B2B Theme and Storefront – Latest Updates

The VirtoCommerce team has been working long and hard on enhancing and polishing our platform, and we’re thrilled to share already some of what we have accomplished!

Check out the freshly released new versions of the B2B theme 2.0 and Storefront 3.1.0 and read on for the detailed outline of what to expect.

We have redesigned the previous theme and added many new essential features for enterprise and business solutions.

Here is a preview of what the new B2B theme looks like https://demo.virtocommerce.com/B2B-store/

These are the main changes in the B2B theme we have implemented with the latest update:

New sign up process that allows registering as an organization or a personal customer.

New customer cabinet is designed to cover all necessary requirements for an organization or customer management such as:

• manage organization members and their roles
• invite new members of the organization 
• edit company information and address
• view all employee data, such as orders or personal lists
• manage preferences and checkout defaults
• create and use unlimited named lists for favorited and planned purchases

The theme is built on the CSS framework Bootstrap 3.0 and has an adaptive markup that allows it to work on mobile devices with small resolutions.

The Storefront has been revamped quite significantly as well. We have added many new amazing features for enterprise and business solutions.

Here is the list of the most essential Storefront changes:

• We added permission-based authorization to our storefront that allows users to check permissions and roles defined in the platform. 

[Authorize(SecurityConstants.Permissions.CanEditUsers)]

• Reworked API for working with lists
• Completely reworked authentication/authorization system to work independently from the Core module API. This allows using custom security settings (password strong, or lockout policy) separately of the platform settings.
