Shopping Lists and Order Continuation

Shopping Lists and Open Order Continuation for B2B Reordering in Business Central

A B2B buyer reordering products from a saved shopping list in a TRIMIT webshop.

Part of the TRIMIT E-commerce Series

Built for companies using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central whose B2B buyers reorder the same products, plan assortments over time, or build large orders across several sessions.

Shopping lists in TRIMIT E-commerce let buyers save products for later, group them by collection, season, or purpose, and reuse them for new orders.

Buyers can order directly from a shopping list using the same quick ordering matrix as on the product page, with clear indicators for products that are in stock, low in stock, or unavailable.

Open orders stay saved after logout, so buyers and sales agents can pause, pick up, or adjust an order whenever they are ready.

Lists and open orders always use current prices, stock, and discounts from Business Central, so every reorder and resumed order is valid and up to date.

How It Works

Personal shopping lists
Save products for later, group favorites by collection, season, or purpose, and reuse them for new orders, without reserving stock.
Order directly from the list
Open a product in the shopping list and enter quantities for all variants in the quick ordering matrix, then add everything to the basket in one step.
Stock indicators in the list
See which products and variants are in stock, low in stock, or unavailable, so buyers can choose alternatives before they order.
Ordering rules applied automatically
Category-specific ordering rules and restrictions are applied when ordering from a list, so orders follow your assortment and sales program requirements without manual checks.
Open order continuation
Partially completed orders stay visible after login. Buyers can review, adjust quantities, and submit when ready, without losing progress.
Live connection to Business Central
Product data, prices, and stock refresh automatically from Business Central, so every list and resumed order is valid and current.
Across sessions and devices
Lists and open orders are kept across logins and devices, so buyers and sales agents continue where they left off.

Shopping Lists or Starting Over?

B2B buying is repetitive by nature. The same buyer restocks the same bestsellers, reorders the same core range each season, and builds large orders over several days.

Without lists and saved orders, every reorder starts from zero: searching, selecting variants, and entering quantities again. Unfinished orders are lost, and buyers end up keeping their own lists in spreadsheets.

Shopping lists and open order continuation keep that work in the webshop, where it is connected to live prices and stock and can be turned into an order in a few clicks.

Shopping lists are a good fit when you need to:

Help buyers reorder bestsellers and core ranges quickly
Let buyers plan assortments over time before ordering
Show stock status before buyers commit to an order
Apply ordering rules automatically for complex sales programs
Avoid lost or incomplete orders across sessions

Good to know:

Shopping lists do not reserve stock
Prices, stock, and discounts are always taken from Business Central when the order is placed

Why It Matters

A furniture retailer reorders the same dining chairs and side tables for several stores every few weeks. A fashion retailer restocks basics in the same colors and sizes every season.
When every reorder means searching and selecting variants again, buyers spend time on routine work, and mistakes creep in. When a large order cannot be saved, it is either rushed or abandoned.
Ordering from a list without seeing stock status also leads to surprises later, when products turn out to be unavailable after the order is placed.
Shopping lists and open order continuation close that gap by turning routine reorders into a few clicks, showing stock before the order is placed, and keeping Business Central as the single source of truth.

See It in Action

A furniture retailer opens a saved shopping list for one of their stores. The list shows that one chair finish is low in stock and one fabric is unavailable. The retailer adjusts the quantities in the ordering matrix, picks an alternative fabric, and adds everything to the basket, with prices and stock updated live from Business Central.
