Magento 2 B2B Platform for Easier Ordering and Efficient Sales

Your business customers order independently, with their prices, availability, invoices and order history in one place. The B2B platform reflects your company's commercial terms, document flows and ordering processes.

ERP and CRM integrations automate data exchange, while self-service handles repeat orders. Sales teams gain time for relationships and new business while retaining control of commercial terms.

Budget and timeline

Starting budget and timeline for a B2B platform

Starting budget from £11,000 excluding VAT

The starting budget for a Magento 2 B2B platform is from £11,000 excluding VAT. Following discovery, we confirm the scope and agree a fixed price for delivery.

This covers a review of your sales processes, bespoke design, development, agreed B2B features and integrations, testing and go-live. The final price reflects your custom commercial rules and integration scope. Adobe Commerce and paid extension licences are scoped separately for the chosen solution.

A delivery timeline of 4 to 6 months

A typical delivery takes four to six months, including discovery, design, development, integrations, testing and launch. The timeline depends on the number of features and integrations, the teams involved and how precisely the scope is defined.

The schedule allows time to prepare data and arrange system access. We agree deadlines for your team's decisions and testing before work begins.

B2B technology

Magento 2 for shared data and custom B2B rules

Magento 2 supports coordinated stores with shared data and commercial rules, alongside substantial custom pricing, permissions and purchase approvals, including within one store. The main route for one store using platform features, apps and integrations is Shopify, which also supports B2B. The recommendation follows your buying workflow and the capabilities of the relevant plan or edition.

Edition and licences agreed before pricing

You receive an edition and module recommendation with development, licence and operating costs. Magento Open Source provides the platform without a licence fee, with B2B functionality supplied through selected extensions or bespoke code. Adobe Commerce with its separately enabled B2B extension provides company accounts, shared catalogues, negotiable quotes and purchase approvals.

Order fulfilment automation

Orders pass automatically into the agreed fulfilment systems. Defined data sources, synchronisation and error handling give your team a clear view of order status and information updates.

Integration with customers’ procurement systems

An integration with a customer's procurement platform, such as SAP Ariba, connects their ordering process with your ERP. Orders pass from the customer's tool directly into fulfilment on your side.

Defined ERP and CRM data flows

Integrations connect prices, credit limits, documents, payments and stock levels within the agreed commercial workflow. The scope defines both systems' APIs, data sources and responsibility for updates.

Built for long-term development

Magento has a large community and is developed by Adobe and businesses working with its open codebase. This makes it easier to find the specialists, extensions and support required as the platform develops.

Foundations for SEO and lead generation

The public catalogue, product pages and contact forms support search visibility and new enquiries for the sales team.

Support for bespoke sales workflows

Pricing, permissions and ordering reflect your company's commercial rules. Native features, selected extensions and bespoke code form a coherent solution with planned testing and ongoing maintenance.

More efficient sales

A B2B platform designed for self-service

Customers use the commercial terms they know from their account manager and have access to current documents. Self-service ordering works alongside a public storefront that supports new enquiries.

Customers can self-serve online, sales reps gain more time to develop accounts and win new business, and customer service handles fewer repetitive tasks.

What sets the platform apart

Your customers’ agreed terms, available online

Customer-specific pricing, promotions and loyalty programmes reflect the agreed terms offered by the account manager. Customers use them independently online, including for repeat orders.

A defined maintenance plan

You receive a cost plan covering licences, updates, hosting and testing. The Hyvä frontend choice takes account of required modules and compatibility. The architecture for coordinated stores connects the benefits of a shared backend with your continued-development budget.

Lead generation for new business
