It will account for 17% of all B2B sales in\nthe United States, and it will grow by 10% annually over the next 5 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not surprising. Modern young entrepreneurs want to freely purchase goods for their companies as if they are making purchases for themselves &#8211; on the Internet. They don\u2019t want to get in touch with dozens of suppliers, talk on the phone with aggressive sales reps and be buried under a lot of paper documents. B2B e-commerce stores can save entrepreneurs from this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second, dramatic factor is the COVID-19 pandemic.\nTherefore, B2B e-commerce is becoming critically important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we give a brief overview of the most\npopular B2B e-commerce platforms. If you plan to launch an online store, save\nthis list to test e-commerce platforms and choose the one that suits your\nneeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Must-have_features_of_the_right_B2B_e-commerce_platform\"><\/span>Must-have features of the right B2B e-commerce platform<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The business-to-business segment has special requirements\nfor e-commerce stores. A B2B e-commerce solution must have specific features to\nautomate the purchase process for companies. Therefore, when choosing a B2B\ne-commerce platform, make sure that it has at least the following features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Flexible_pricing_tools\"><\/span>Flexible pricing tools. <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies usually buy many products at the same time and\nthey do that regularly. It is important to offer your customers discounts on\nquantity and individual discounts depending on their level (and\/or purchasing\nlevel). B2B e-commerce software should support user groups with various\ndiscounts and privileges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Simple_download_and_upload_of_price_lists\"><\/span>Simple download and upload of price lists. <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before ordering, the manager must obtain approval for the\nlist of products and prices from the manager. So, he\/she should be able to\nquickly download and upload the price list with current prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_convenient_way_to_order_goods_in_bulk\"><\/span>A convenient way to order goods in bulk. <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>B2B e-commerce software should offer a convenient interface\nfor bulk ordering. If the store does not have a convenient interface for this,\nyou will spend too much time to fill the basket. Nobody likes to waste time,\nespecially businessmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Convenient_placement_of_the_order\"><\/span>Convenient placement of the order. <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some entrepreneurs are simply not using buying goods for\ntheir companies through the interface of an online store. They usually call and\norder by phone. In such cases, your operator creates an order for them. It is\nimportant that he\/she can do this quickly and easily being on the phone at the\nsame time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reorder_functionality\"><\/span>Reorder functionality. <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What if the company regularly buys supplies from you? Do not\nforce them to place an order every time they make purchases on your e-commerce\nsite. The company should be able to reorder the same products with the same\nnumber of products in just one click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Several_shops_per_account\"><\/span>Several shops per account.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you intend to sell both to companies and\nindividuals, the function of several online stores is a must for your company\u2019s\nwebsite. You should be able to customize your storefronts independently as if\nyou are managing several different stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Integration_with_accounting_software\"><\/span>Integration with accounting software. <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have a need to send all your deals, each of them, or\naggregated, to the accounting system you use.&nbsp;\nMake sure your B2B e-commerce system integrates with this software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Organization_inside_a_B2B_e-commerce_store\"><\/span>Organization inside a B2B e-commerce store. <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, more than one person is involved in the buying process in companies. So, the platform should provide the ability for several users from an organization. Thus, the administrator can add more users to the organization in the store: managers, marketers, accountants. And all of them can work with one account as different users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Shopify\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopify.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"1.

Shopify received some criticism because most of the sellers which have accounts aren\u2019t verified, so buyers aren\u2019t protected by the provider in any way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Magento\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/magento.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"2.

It has become one of the most popular e-commerce systems in the world, but one of the most complex. The company started with B2C software, and then was adapted for the B2B segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Magento is a very reliable platform, so you can customize it the way you want. This is a pros and cons at the same time. You can make your Magento-based B2B store extremely flexible and versatile, but you need a technically competent team of programmers to set up and support your store. And that means more expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"489\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Magento-1024x489.jpg\" alt=\"Magento open-source e-commerce platform\" class=\"wp-image-5181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Magento-1024x489.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Magento-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Magento-768x367.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mrpeasy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Magento.jpg 1431w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With more than 100,000 online stores using this platform, Magento is one of the market leaders. For B2B it has almost all the required features mentioned above, but, unfortunately, users complain about the complexity of the interface in Magento. Users also say that Magento takes a long time to set it up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_WooCommerce\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/woocommerce.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"3.
