For online merchants, the checkout page can be a make-or-break experience that determines whether customers convert or abandon the buying process. The unique demands of the B2B Buying Journey intensify the challenge for businesses to deliver a checkout experience catered to their B2B shoppers. Luckily, at IntuitSolutions, we don’t shy away from challenges; we embrace them.
That’s why, in response to demand from our B2B merchants, we’re thrilled to introduce a new enhancement: document upload support for payment and shipping steps in the BigCommerce checkout. Get ready to boost your checkout page conversions as we dive into the details of this game-changing solution.
The Challenge: Document Upload Limitations in the BigCommerce Checkout
In the B2B world, online transactions often require more than just selecting products and clicking “buy.” Additional documentation, such as purchase orders, tax documents, wire transfer receipts, and more, are often necessary to facilitate the sales process.
Since BigCommerce does not natively support document uploads in the checkout, our BigCommerce developers created an easy-to-implement solution within our Ebizio Checkout app.
