Starting with Summer ’23, all new B2B stores are built on the Lightning Web
Runtime (LWR) platform. Some B2B stores still use the Aura platform and, in some places, the
Commerce App UI and documentation still refer to Aura features and components. If you’re using a
new LWR store, you can ignore the Aura information.

Having all stores use the LWR platform allows you to build B2B stores using the same
technology and components. LWR components use building blocks, which break up large components
into smaller units, making it easier to customize components. For example, a Product Page can
contain three multifunctional components with rich and varied features. Traditionally,
customizing elements on the page required addressing all the components and rebuilding the
entire page. The investment in time and resources can be steep.
With building block components, LWR store pages are broken into discrete units of
functionality that are easier and faster to customize. For example, it’s easier to add a
custom variations component to the Product Page because you can swap out one component instead
of rebuilding the entire page. You can drag building blocks onto a page from the Experience
Builder component catalog as for other store components.
If you’re using a B2B store built on an older Aura template, we recommend migrating the store
to an LWR template. See the B2B Commerce Aura to LWR Migration Guide.
