The entire Magento community was excited to learn, network, and get inspired together for Adobe Summit and Magento Imagine 2020 in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, after evaluating the situation around COVID-19, aka “the coronavirus”, the conference organizers have decided to move this year’s summit online and cancel the live event. In addition to the now online Summit event, there are still MANY ways to engage with the Magento ecosystem and community outside of the Summit.

Firstly, if you have questions specifically related to the Summit, head over to the FAQ page at Adobe for more information.

Second, if you want to know how to get engaged in the online event, read here.

In this blog, we will provide you with three ways to maximize your ROI within the Magento ecosystem even though you can’t attend Adobe Summit in-person this year:

Many merchants are so focused on winning a sale — getting a customer to click “Buy” — that they don’t realize a transaction is not over when a browser has converted into a buyer. Not only are there multiple steps going on behind the scenes to successfully process a customer’s payment, but a sale is never truly won until the chargeback window has closed and the customer is satisfied with their purchase.

The more educated eCommerce retailers are about the payment process, the better prepared they will be to make sure every fraudulent order gets declined and every legitimate order gets approved. When this goes wrong, fraudulent orders turn into chargebacks, and legitimate orders can be falsely declined – both of which hurt the retailer’s revenue and aggravate the good customers.

Luckily, expert eCommerce advice with TJ Gamble just got even better! Coming up later this week, the eCommerceaholic himself and master of how to “get more from your eCommerce store” will be cohosting a livestream on ecommerce website payment options, best practices, and the best online payment methods for businesses of all sizes.

Historically, business-to-business (B2B) orders have been made over the phone or in person, and a paper invoice would be issued for payment.  Payment would typically not be captured until a month or so later.  Once payment was finally received via the mail, it would usually take a few more days to process and apply it.  This whole process from start to finish could take anywhere from one to three months.  Today, B2B customers expect real-time transactions and ease of placing orders like they do in the B2C world.  Forrester Research said 93 percent of wholesales buyers prefer to buy online.  As a business, you should want to make B2B payments a priority as well, so you can increase your customer satisfaction, and have the added benefits of increasing your cash flow.
