Salesforce B2B Commerce QA

Most consumer-grade QA breaks the moment you hit B2B. Account hierarchies, contract pricing, entitlements, ERP integration -the surface area is fundamentally different. I lead QA programs purpose-built for B2B commerce on Salesforce.

Account Hierarchy · Acme Distribution
⊟ Acme Group Gold Tier
○ Acme East 15% off · Net 30
○ Acme West 12% off · Net 30
○ Acme Pacific Tier 2 · Net 60
1,284 Orders synced to ERP
100% UAT pass · Wine portal
Account hierarchy Contract pricing ERP sync

What I deliver

  • End-to-end test plans for distributor and trade-partner portals
  • Validation of account hierarchies, entitlements, and role-based permissions
  • Tier-based contract pricing, volume discounts, and customer-specific price-book testing
  • Bulk reorder, quick-order, and recurring-purchase flow QA
  • Storefront ↔ ERP integration testing (order sync, inventory, customer master)
  • UAT planning and stakeholder coordination across distributors and clients
  • Cross-browser, cross-device, and accessibility validation

My approach

  1. Discover -Map account hierarchies, entitlements, contract structures, and integration touchpoints with the architect team.
  2. Design -Build a risk-prioritised test strategy covering pricing, ordering, integration, and partner-portal flows.
  3. Execute -Run sprint-aligned smoke, regression, and integration cycles with continuous defect governance.
  4. Validate -Drive UAT with distributors and trade partners; close out with a release readiness assessment.
