This update introduces more fundamental B2B- features to Swift, such as a quick way to add products to cart and an integrated customer center able to show orders, invoices, and credit notes from an ERP system. The main headlines for this service release are:
B2B - Express buy & better product overview

- Two new product list designs – compact & list – make it easy to set up B2B-friendly product lists with more products & more technical details per page.

Enriched Product list & Detail
