Making a simple user interface for software with complicated tech functionality is not easy, but possible. It requires bringing to bear resourcefulness and imagination to minimize the number of actions needed to be made by users to get a certain result - to have the store added or shopping cart connected. The whole point is to make an interaction with your software maximally short and pleasant.

We have gathered 5 examples of genuinely intuitive user interfaces of some of the B2B eCommerce systems, which provide their clients with a comprehensive and easy-to-set-up connection to shopping carts:

#1 HappyFox Chat

Live chat apps help to set up the communication waypoints with the customers and, therefore, boost the sales quotas and increase the service quality. Having a bunch of useful features, HappyFox Chat supports multiple platforms, including shopping carts.

The UI of the service offers the tab “Apps” where all integrations are sorted by categories. To reduce friction in the experience, the solution allows connecting one of the supported systems, as well as checking out the planned apps in the integration roadmap. Also, you can see the clients preferences to upcoming supported services and see the voting results.

Take a look at the tab “Apps” and here you will see the page of supported shopping carts:

  • a video-guide “how to setup” your store integration from A to Z,
  • proven authorization methods, i.e. Shopify uses oAuth,
  • integration customization to turn on or off the additional features.
