Adobe Commerce attained a significant milestone by promoting its B2B drop-in components to full production status on Edge Delivery Services (EDS).
The release, announced on January 20th, 2026, effectively bridges the gap between the extreme performance of Adobe’s edge-native frontend and the complex functional obligations of global B2B commerce.
Available B2B Drop-Ins components
The newly production-ready components focus on the most friction-heavy aspects of the B2B journey.
According to the Adobe Commerce release notes, these B2B drop-ins include the following:
- Company management – Enables company profile management and role-based permissions for Adobe Commerce storefronts.
- Company switcher – Provides a UI component for users to switch between multiple companies they are associated with.
- Purchase orders – Manages purchase order workflows, approval rules, and purchase order history for B2B transactions.
- Quote management – Enables negotiable quotes for B2B customers with quote request, negotiation, and approval workflows.
- Requisition lists – Provides tools for creating and managing requisition lists for repeat purchases and bulk ordering.
Historically, adding these features was a massive undertaking. It required extensive and complex custom frontend and backend logic in the previous Adobe Commerce traditional monolithic systems. Therefore, a single small change could potentially break the whole site, making such projects expensive and slow.
With this release, merchants are now able to ‘drop-in’ pre-optimized blocks for negotiable quotes and role-based permissions. This significantly reduces the code-heavy nature of B2B implementations.
Observability through OpenTelemetry
In addition to the functional components, Adobe Commerce has also introduced native support for OpenTelemetry. For e-commerce traders, this provides the deep system visibility needed to monitor performance across distributed systems.
OpenTelemetry provides logs and metrics, enabling proactive insights into system health, allowing merchants to optimize their storefronts, troubleshoot issues faster, and monitor performance in real time. This ultimately improves reliability for their consumers.
Additionally, observability ensures that the high-speed benefits of Edge Delivery remain intact and are not compromised by hidden backend bottlenecks.
However, it is important to note that OpenTelemetry observability needs the use of App Builder or other OOPE (out-of-process extensibility) offerings.
The Efficiency Play for Enterprise Merchants
Adobe Commerce’s move to release B2B drop-ins represents a fundamental shift in e-commerce unit economics.
Reduced total cost of ownership
With B2B logic moved into standardized drop-in components, merchants can bypass months of custom development. As such, brands can redirect their engineering budgets from building basic B2B plumbing to investing more in customer experience innovation.
Modernizing the tech stack
The shift to production signals that Adobe’s Edge-first strategy is now ready for the most demanding enterprise use cases. For e-commerce retailers still using legacy versions, the availability of the released B2B drop-in components offers a clear, lower-risk path to transitioning onto modern architecture.
Velocity at scale
Edge Delivery Services integrations allow B2B storefronts to achieve near-perfect Lighthouse scores by default. This offers a competitive advantage in conversion and retention, seeing that B2B buyers often expect B2C-level speeds.
Why Adobe’s B2B Drop-Ins Signal a Turning Point for Enterprise Commerce
Adobe Commerce’s move to bring B2B drop-in components into full production marks a decisive shift in how enterprise ecommerce platforms evolve. By decoupling complex B2B workflows from heavy, brittle frontend builds, Adobe is lowering the barrier to innovation while preserving the performance gains promised by Edge Delivery Services.
For enterprise merchants, this release translates directly into faster implementations, reduced technical risk, and a more sustainable total cost of ownership. Features that once required months of custom development such as purchase orders, quote negotiation, and company-level permissions..
More importantly, this update signals that Adobe’s edge-first architecture is no longer experimental. As buyer expectations continue to converge around speed, reliability, and flexibility, Adobe Commerce is positioning itself as a platform where enterprise complexity no longer comes at the expense of performance.
