B2B E-commerce with Magento: Rule it with the B2B Suite

We all know that Magento is an ideal e-commerce system for setting up a B2C online shop, but if your target market is the B2B market, you soon notice that Magento lacks some important functionalities. For this problem, there is now the B2B Suite: a complete solution for your B2B webshop in Magento.

Why B2B Suite?

From our experience with B2B extensions and B2B e-commerce projects, we know which B2B e-commerce functionalities are not standard in Magento.
Many features are available as standalone extensions, but with that you have to deal with different vendors, resolve extension conflicts and keep track of all updates. That's why we are introducing B2B Suite: a complete, out-of-the-box solution for B2B e-commerce with Magento.

What functionalities are included in B2B Suite?
We were able to identify the key B2B functionalities that are not in a standard Magento environment. Which will be available in our first version:

Advanced pricing options - hide prices for non-logged-in customers

Advanced pricing options - set list price rules for individual customers

Order list - set up order lists on the category page

Category access - determine which customer groups have access to a particular category

Tenders - Allow certain customer groups or non-engaged customers to request quotes

Credit limits - let your best customers buy on credit limit
