Is Your Customer’s Payment Experience a Predictor of Success in B2B?

For companies navigating the current economic climate, the burgeoning world of B2B eCommerce provides both the promise of new business and a plethora of unknowns amid ever-increasing demands to match the B2C experience. 

Selling online for the first time? The recent webinar from Adobe brings experts from across the globe to discuss digital transformation of businesses and selling online for the first time. In episode 2 of a 4-part webinar series Succeeding in B2B eCommerce, TreviPay President Brandon Spear shared several key B2B payment considerations to optimize the customer purchasing experience and improve sales.  

The importance of creating a B2B payment strategy and adapting to digital needs is made evident when you consider the evolution of your buyer’s payment preference. Unfortunately, many B2B brands offer a credit card as the primary payment option today when 60% of B2B buyers believe that credit cards are not the preferred way to pay. In fact, 57% have abandoned a cart due to cumbersome payment experiences. Put yourself in the shoes of the buyer persona, do you offer their preferred payment method? And, a fully optimized payment strategy not only considers how the process impacts your buyer, but also includes a ripple effect across multiple teams within an organization including the technology they have in place for ERPs, CRMs and other business systems. 

Implementing a personalized B2B experience means understanding and removing the friction involved in the buying process. It is important to first understand the variety of personas and interactions that occur in the journey to ensure everyone gets what they need quickly and efficiently. Loyalty will be to the experience you provide, not to your brand. If the purchasing process isn’t a key consideration of your overall B2B strategy, you could be seriously hindering your business’ growth potential.
