Ex-Site
An Extended Site, or Ex-Site, is a business-to-business Web site that provides a
richly featured site where the selling organization can set up different storefronts
to target each of their business customers. When a business customer enters the
Ex-Site storefront, any discounts, product configurations, and special instructions
particular to that customer are displayed.
All features of the advanced B2B direct starter store, such as approvals, and
account management also apply in a Ex-Site. The distinguishing characteristic of
a Ex-Site is that the Seller can provide a customized storefront and customized
catalog to each business partner or customer.
