I am a UX specialist experienced in both developing and texting great UX experiences.

For this article series, I’ve spent time digging into some of the best ecommerce sites for B2B and zoomed in on what makes them stand out on their UX.

Read below to learn more about the top B2B ecommerce sites we chose and what to expect from this series.

Medusa’s UX and B2B Focus

Medusa provides bespoke commerce infrastructure through its composable commerce platform. Its extendible and open setup makes it well-suited to support cases that require setup flexibility and is easy to customize.

Medusa’s headless architecture makes it possible to build bespoke storefronts that can be optimized to provide a great UX, leading to customer conversion. This is needed in a B2B setting, where most stores are not set up well to cater to the particular needs of a B2B customer.

If you’d like to know more about our product and how we serve B2B users, feel free to visit our B2B page.
