When evaluating B2B Commerce or CPQ for partners via Experience Cloud, the Solution Architect should ask:
B) Does the direct Sales team co-sell with partners or sell to partners in this new channel model? This question helps to understand the relationship between the direct Sales team and the partners, which impacts how CPQ is set up and used.
C) Do partners need to do complex configurations or create their special pricing? This will determine if CPQ's advanced configuration and pricing capabilities are necessary for the partners, which may not be as effectively supported by B2B Commerce alone.
Understanding the sales process and the complexity of transactions is crucial to deciding whether CPQ or B2B Commerce is the right tool for partners, as described in Salesforce documentation for both CPQ and B2B Commerce.
