A B2B license is based on your anticipated gross merchandise volume (GMV) or the number of orders placed to your store (PPO). You can purchase as many licenses as you need, but you can’t mix and match licenses, for example, a standalone and standalone plus license or a PPO and GMV license.

Definitions That Affect Licenses
- Order
- A record of the activated Order Summary object that’s created, modified, and processed in B2B before entering your order fulfillment system. Any order created from the store user interface, B2B Commerce APIs, or other related services must be created by using this object.
- Multichannel Order
- An order record that originates from a system outside of B2B and is imported into an Order Summary object. For example, a multichannel order can originate from an electronic data interchange (EDI) system and can be uploaded to an Order Summary object by using Data Loader. Multichannel orders count towards the number of Unmanaged Order Summaries.
- Active Store
- A store in a production org created with B2B Commerce.
- Platform Cache
- Memory layer in Salesforce that helps improve performance when querying certain org and session data. Your org provides a certain amount of space in the platform cache. A B2B license provides extra space. You can allocate the extra space for caching certain types of storefront data.
- B2B External User
- A buyer who logs in to an account on your storefront or store and browses and purchases products. An external user can’t be personnel from your company.
Licenses for Internal Users
For internal users, assign a Salesforce standard license or an Identity license paired with either the Commerce Admin or the Merchandiser permission set. You can also use a Sales Cloud or Service Cloud standard user license paired with the Commerce Admin or the Merchandiser permission set.
