What is X-Cart anyway?
For those who haven’t yet heard of the product, X-Cart presents itself as a comprehensive e-commerce solution. And the manufacturers made certain that the “comprehensive” tag is really apt for the product, as it covers a diverse area.
One of the biggest draws of X-Cart is that it is easy to adapt to whichever e-commerce website you have. As marketer Moses Aaron points out in this article:
“Online merchants can also adopt x-cart customization service by going through proper coding and change the structure of cart as per business’s needs. There are different types of modules (tools) available with X-cart platforms for enhancing your online store.”
Using X-Cart for B2B
But of course, the question here is still: how does X-Cart’s B2B e-commerce tools fare? In this review by Danny Pajevic, he points out that one of the biggest wins for X-Cart is that it a large list of tools dedicated to dealing with B2B transactions. In particular, he mentions the tools specific for wholesale sellers.
X-cart offers several important key features that are going to be indispensable for companies doing wholesale B2B transactions with other companies. For instance, it has a systematic way of handling wholesale B2B transactions, separating them from retail transactions. X-cart also allows the user to create categories for organizing customers as either general clients or members of the business’ special promos.
Another useful feature of X-Cart’s B2B toolset is price monitoring. Here, users can easily set distinctions between retail and wholesale price by specifying the minimum order amount to be automatically classified as a wholesale transaction. Users can also set the order tracking system to automatically issue quantity discounts on certain bulk orders. There is also a nifty tax-exempt feature for applicable situations.
Integrating X-Cart to other B2B tools
Of course, X-Cart does have its limitations, which the manufacturers are well aware of. As such, they have developed the software so that it can be easily integrate with other tools the user has. For instance, as demonstrated in the X-Cart website, it can be easily combined with the popular email and social media marketing platform iContact. Here, X-cart allows for quick synching with iContact, making it easier for sharing data between them.
X-Cart can also be easily combined with search engine optimization tools for online stores.
