Introducing: Storefront

Welcome to the webridge Storefront documentation. Storefront is a modern solution for B2B customers that solves the problem of purchasing products from their suppliers, also called eprocurement.

The eprocurement market is packed with players that promise to deliver what your organization wants. However, being in this market for more than 20 years we've seen a lot of brittle and unnecessary complexity that always comes with a cost.

Over all those years, eprocurement has always focused much more on solving the complexities of the organization while neglecting the desires of the end-user. By doing so, B2C solutions have become far more advanced than B2B counterparts, albeit solving a very similar problem.

Storefront aims to bring back sanity into this market, reduce complexity, and provide a lightweight and cost-effective solution for your needs. We want to make Storefront the tool of choice that both the organization and the end-user love to use.

How this documentation site works​

We have separated this website into several section to target your needs.

  1. The Tutorial is oriented towards learning what Storefront is all about.
  2. The Guides is goal oriented. You will learn how to solve specific problems.
  3. The API is a reference for developers who want a deep dive into the technical aspects of Storefront.

Furthermore, we added a few more chapters that focus on specific topics you will encounter when creating your eprocurement storefront.

  1. The Content section describes ways to ingest product catalogs from your supplier base into Storefront.
  2. If you don't have a supplier base or want to allow your users to purchase from marketplaces like Amazon Business or Meplato Business, you will enjoy reading the Marketplaces section.
  3. In the Integration area, we will describe how Storefront works in combination with other tools in the eprocurement market, e.g. Coupa.
  4. Finally, the Plugins area shows various ways to make your journey into Storefront even simpler, e.g. how to use Single Sign On (SSO) for seamless user login.
