About Conga Partner Commerce

Present and place orders through a single digital commerce platform, providing a unified and modern buying and selling experience. Partner Commerce is the activity of electronically buying or selling products on online services or over the Internet. Partner Commerce can be used as a standalone web app or a mobile application. It can also be used to conduct social commerce. It enables consumers to shop from their homes and offices, and even on the move.

Conga CPQ is a CRM-agnostic solution available on Conga Platform. With an API-first approach, CPQ services (configuration, pricing, quoting) can be embedded into customer’s eCommerce, Direct Sales, and Partner Portals. Conga CPQ helps customers to streamline configuration and pricing across revenue lifecycle operations, providing faster scale and performance.

Conga CPQ provides the ability to offer self-service capabilities for guided configuration and contracted pricing embedded on any B2B eCommerce site. Conga CPQ provides customers the ability to choose which capability (configuration, pricing, quoting) they want to embed into their revenue lifecycle, at a pace that supports their business needs.

As an administrator, you can use the Conga CPQ application and APIs to perform configuration and pricing tasks to build the catalog page for your e-commerce website. Configuration involves creating products, options, attributes, and categories and associating them appropriately with each other for visibility on the Catalog page. A product can be created as a standalone product or as a bundle product with options and attributes. You can control the selection of a product on the catalog page by configuring constraint rules. You can also control the selection of attributes on the configuration page of a product by setting up an attribute-based configuration for that product. Pricing enables you to set up pricing structures for the products so that the price for all products is calculated accurately. Pricing has two components: Price Lists and Price List Items. A price list controls the visibility of products to the user. A price list contains several price list items, each linked to a product. Conga CPQ calculates the price for each product based on the applied price list, price list items, and various pricing and discounting rules. 

After you have used Conga CPQ to configure products and pricing, you can associate the price list to the storefront object within the Partner Commerce package. After your catalog has been set up, the next step is to create a Storefront record. The storefront object is very basic and requires only two fields to map a storefront to a price list and an active account. The price list refers to the price list you want the user to access.
