B2B buying is nothing like retail. Your customers are companies with multiple buyers and an approval chain; they expect their negotiated prices, they order in hundreds against a credit limit, they reorder the same SKUs monthly, and they need GST-compliant invoices their accounts team will accept. A retail storefront with a "bulk enquiry" form is not B2B e-commerce. A proper Magento B2B build is.
We build Magento B2B stores for Indian manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers — using Adobe Commerce's native B2B suite where the licence makes sense, or assembling equivalent capability on Magento Open Source with proven extensions and custom modules where it doesn't. The honest comparison of those two paths, priced for your catalog and order volumes, is where every engagement starts.
The core of a B2B build is workflow, not design: company accounts with buyer roles and approval rules, customer-specific price lists and shared catalogs, quote and negotiation flows, credit limits with payment-on-account, and quick-order tools (CSV upload, SKU pads, requisition lists) that let a purchase manager place a 200-line order in minutes.
Around that core we integrate what B2B actually runs on: your ERP or Tally for inventory, pricing and outstanding balances, GST-compliant invoicing, and logistics that handle freight quotes rather than flat-rate courier shipping.
Multi-user company structures with roles, spending limits and order-approval workflows that mirror how your customers actually purchase.
Tiered price lists, negotiated rates and shared catalogs per customer group — so every buyer logs in and sees their price, not a public one.
Request-for-quote flows with counter-offers and expiry, replacing the email-and-phone negotiation trail with an auditable one.
Order-on-credit against defined limits, outstanding balance visibility, and integration with your receivables process.
CSV order upload, SKU quick-order pads and requisition lists for repeat purchases — the features that make buyers prefer your portal over WhatsApp orders.
GSTIN capture on company accounts, HSN-wise tax handling and invoice formats your customers' accountants accept without a phone call.
Two-way sync of stock, prices, orders and ledger balances so the portal and your back office never disagree.
Adobe Commerce ships the B2B feature suite natively — company accounts, shared catalogs, quotes, requisition lists — at a licence cost that makes sense above a certain order volume. Magento Open Source can reach near-equivalent capability through well-chosen extensions and targeted custom modules at a fraction of the recurring cost, with more integration work upfront.
Which is right depends on your volumes, catalog complexity and how exotic your pricing rules are — and we've built both, so the recommendation you get is based on your numbers, not on what we prefer selling. Either way, the build follows the same upgrade-safe engineering standards as all our Magento custom development, and can be covered post-launch by our maintenance plans.
Already running WooCommerce for B2B? We also build WooCommerce B2B solutions — and we'll tell you honestly which platform fits your scale.
Not necessarily. Open Source plus proven extensions covers company accounts, tiered pricing and quotes for most mid-size wholesalers. We quote both paths with the trade-offs explicit.
Yes — customer-group price lists and shared catalogs mean each company logs in to its own prices and even its own product range. Public visitors can be limited to a catalog-only view or none at all.
Yes. Stock, price lists, orders and ledger balances can sync both ways — Tally remains your source of truth while the portal handles ordering.
Yes, via separate store views and customer groups — one backend, one inventory pool, retail prices for the public and contract prices for logged-in companies.
Typically 8–14 weeks depending on pricing complexity and ERP integration depth. The discovery phase produces a fixed scope and timeline first.
