Company accounts, shared catalogs, quotes, and net terms: what Magento B2B includes and what it costs to build.
Magento B2B isn't one feature. It's a stack: who can buy under a company account, what price each customer sees, how quotes and credit work. Here's what you get, and what you pay for it.
One buyer can't sign off a $40k order alone. Adobe Commerce B2B gives each company admin roles, sub-users, and approval rules, so purchasing, finance, and ops each see their slice.
Show distributor A one price list and retailer B another. Shared catalogs scope products and prices to each company, so nobody sees a deal that wasn't meant for them.
B2B runs on quotes, not add-to-cart. A buyer requests a price, your rep counters in the admin, and the agreed quote converts straight to an order. The email ping-pong stops.
Wholesale buyers order the same 80 SKUs every month. Requisition lists let them reorder in two clicks instead of rebuilding the cart from scratch each time.
Net-30 is the norm in B2B. Adobe Commerce tracks each company's credit balance, so buyers check out on account and your finance team isn't chasing card payments.
Your real catalog lives in the ERP, not Magento. We sync products, stock, pricing, and orders with SAP, NetSuite, or Dynamics so the store and back office never drift apart.
Adobe Commerce B2B is excellent and expensive. When the license math doesn't work, we build the same workflows on Magento Open Source with vetted extensions like Aheadworks and Amasty, plus custom code where those stop. You get company accounts, quotes, and tiered pricing without the six-figure platform fee.
Not every wholesaler needs Magento. If you sell a few hundred SKUs to a known buyer list, WooCommerce with a B2B plugin costs a fraction and runs on cheaper hosting. We build both, and we'll say which one fits before the project starts.
The CMS that runs governments, universities and large editorial newsrooms. Powerful content modeling, granular permissions, and multi-author workflows that WordPress simply can't match — at the cost of a steeper learning curve.
A lean, free, MVC-architected ecommerce platform that runs on standard LAMP hosting. Strong fit for small-and-mid-business stores that need flexibility without Magento's overhead or Shopify's monthly tax.
WordPress powers 43% of websites worldwide — from solo blogs to enterprise corporate sites. We build, support, and customize WP projects from $99/mo.
No, not natively. The B2B module (company accounts, shared catalogs, quotes, requisition lists) ships only with Adobe Commerce, the paid edition. On Open Source you add this through extensions like Aheadworks or Amasty, or through custom development. We’ve done both and can scope either.
Adobe licenses Commerce on a sliding scale tied to your gross sales and average order value, and it isn’t published publicly. Real quotes for mid-size B2B usually land in the $22,000-$125,000 per year range before hosting and build. That’s why we always run the Open Source plus extensions math first.
Yes. Several Open Source extensions add request-for-quote and admin-side negotiation. They cover roughly 80% of what native B2B does, and we fill the rest with custom code. Budget for that gap up front so it isn’t a surprise later.
Yes, and it’s a common reason to pick it. Adobe Commerce runs B2B and B2C from one catalog, with customer groups deciding who sees wholesale pricing and who sees retail. One backend, two audiences.
That’s usually the whole point. We integrate Magento with SAP Business One, NetSuite, and Microsoft Dynamics so product data, stock, pricing, and orders sync automatically. The integration is often the biggest line item, so we scope it early.
A configured Adobe Commerce B2B store with standard workflows takes 5-8 weeks. Add 2-4 weeks for ERP integration, depending on how clean your data is. Custom Open Source builds run similar. We give a fixed timeline after a short discovery call.
There’s a question every wholesaler asks us at some point: “Can Magento just do B2B out of the box?” The honest answer is, it depends which Magento. Adobe Commerce ships a full B2B module. Magento Open Source ships none of it. That single fork in the road decides most of your budget, so it’s worth getting straight before anyone writes code.
Below is what Magento B2B gives you when it’s set up properly, what it costs, and the three routes we use depending on your sales volume and how you actually sell. We build all three, and we’ll tell you which one fits before you spend a cent.
