Slatwall Commerce unveiled the B2B eCommerce Kickstarter Launch Kit, an all-inclusive eCommerce solution designed to solve the dilemma many businesses are facing as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and changing B2B purchasing trends.

The shift can be seen across the age spectrum, as survey respondents say they’re shying away from storefront purchases and opting instead to go online.
