B2B Wave Bulletin is our regular update that highlights recent product improvements and updates we’ve made to the B2B Wave cloud-based B2B eCommerce platform so you can easily stay up-to-date with what’s new.

Storefront

Admin users can now select a secondary color

Storefront loading has been optimized to load product images more quickly through the use of Cloudinary, a dedicated image-delivering content-delivery network.

Added Finnish language to the supported languages

The storefront is now available in Finnish.
