B2B Commerce license models and allocations
Key Takeaway
Store orders and GMV amount grow with each B2B Commerce license you buy. The number of stores and the 1,000 permission sets for internal users stay fixed per purchase.
B2B Commerce is licensed by how much your stores sell. Salesforce measures this either by gross merchandise volume (GMV) or by the number of orders placed to your store (PPO). Each license comes with allocations such as stores, store orders, platform cache and order summaries. You then add separate user licenses for the internal staff who run the store and for the buyers who shop in it. Knowing which allocations grow with each license, and which buyers need a higher license, tells you what to buy.
GMV and PPO licenses
B2B Commerce is available in Enterprise, Unlimited and Developer Editions. The product runs only in Lightning Experience.
A B2B license is based either on your anticipated GMV or on the number of orders placed to your store (PPO). There are four standalone license types:
- B2B Commerce Standalone - PPO
- B2B Commerce Standalone Plus - PPO
- B2B Commerce Standalone - GMV
- B2B Commerce Standalone Plus - GMV
You can buy as many licenses as you need, but you can't mix and match them. For example, you can't combine a Standalone license with a Standalone Plus license, or a PPO license with a GMV license.
