Retailers Use B2B Payments to Appeal to New Customers

Traditional B2C retailers are discovering a unique sales juncture; selling to B2B customers in addition to consumers. Finding opportunity in a new revenue stream is exciting for retailers but it can also cause confusion as B2C retailers are often unsure of not only how to meet the needs of these new customers but grow this new revenue stream as well. Getting B2B customers through the purchase and pay cycle in the quickest, smoothest way possible is very different from that of a B2C experience.

It doesn’t help that the needs and preferences of B2B buyers are rapidly changing. In fact, more than 80% of B2B buyers agree their personal buying experiences impact their expectations for business purchases. B2C retailers looking to develop a new revenue stream in B2B need to understand what B2B buyers expect in a purchasing experience to keep them coming back.

The majority of B2B buyers prefer to pay on invoice, which can be challenging to implement if a retailer is unfamiliar. But, since 74% of B2B buyers who are presented with the option of paying by invoice will buy more products or services from a vendor, retailers need to get up to speed, quickly.
