A modern, quick, and intelligent user interface is Salesforce Lightning Application Development Experience. It enables you to design a user experience that boosts productivity and workflow, makes work more straightforward and understandable, and even revolutionizes your company.

When we refer to the Lightning Experience, we mean:

Salesforce pages that are designed with sales and customer service in mind.

New capabilities support your sales and service staff to focus on the appropriate deals, clients, and tasks each time users check-in.

Everyone can visualize data and take care of business with versatile, interactive tools.

B2B Commerce customers already use Salesforce apps like Sales Cloud, Experience Cloud, and Service Cloud. These apps primarily make use of Lightning Experience.

What if I now use Visualforce Classic for B2B Commerce?

Since Salesforce introduced Lightning Experience in 2015, many new and continuing clients have switched from Classic to it (or Visualforce). Some B2B customers, however, ponder whether switching from Visualforce to Lightning Experience is necessary.

The quick response is no. The Visualforce deployment option will continue to be supported by Salesforce. Customers don’t need to change, and Salesforce will keep advancing and supporting Visualforce.

However, once you are familiar with the Lightning Experience settings, you may create a careful switch from the present user interface that reevaluates the adjustments already made and fixes any issues that may have been in the past. Once you have the information, you may convince your leadership and other decision-makers to make the transition.
