Setting up a WooCommerce B2B website is no easy feat! WooCommerce is famous for its flexibility, but by default, the platform is entirely focused on regular retail stores, with no features for business-to-business e-commerce.
Luckily, there is a huge ecosystem of plugins, including WooCommerce B2B plugins that attempt to solve this problem. But which one is the right plugin for your shop, and how can you put together such a platform?
If you're a developer or very familiar with custom coding, a lot can be achieved with code and code snippets. For example, snippets such as the following will help hide prices for logged-out users.
Alternatively, the easiest and fastest option is to simply use a dedicated B2B plugin for WooCommerce. There are a number of such plugins, but none is as popular as our B2BKing - Ultimate B2B Plugin for WooCommerce solution, with over 10,000 active installs.
With over 100 features and functions, the plugin aims to cover absolutely everything for your B2B store.
Among other things, it will help you hide prices, offer wholesale discounts, set minimum orders, use a powerful bulk order form, generate invoices, handle purchase orders, purchase lists, separate B2B stock, and so much more...
B2BKing also works perfectly together with the SalesKing Sales Agents and Reps plugin.
SalesKing is a powerful standalone plugin with dozens of features to help you set up a reps team. Agents can communicate with customers, place orders on their behalf, earn commissions, offer coupons, view their earnings, create subagents, share affiliate links, and much more!
B2BKing and SalesKing are a powerful combination, and hundreds of stores use them together to equip their platforms with robust B2B capabilities.
When you have a B2B store and sell to companies (or perhaps you sell both retail and B2B), a simple pricing structure with a standard price won't cut it!
With B2BKing, you can set up a complex tiered structure that offers quantity discounts. This way, you incentivize wholesale buyers to purchase more by offering a better price as the quantity increases.
An easy-to-understand pricing table is automatically generated. You can also set up this kind of pricing structure in bulk for all your products by simply entering quantity ranges and discount percentages within tiered pricing rules.
A B2B platform often needs to be private. Each customer may have a different product catalog, different terms, and different prices. Our plugins are ideal for this, and you can set different pricing and terms for each individual user or user group.
You can also protect the site from guests by either hiding prices or requiring users to log in to view the site and its products.
For example, in the screenshot above, the plugin protects the shop behind a login/registration page. The user is asked to log in before they can access the portal.
Businesses will often have not just one, but multiple contacts working with your platform to place orders, restock products, communicate requirements, etc.
In this case, you will need to connect multiple accounts to a company and keep track of relationships.
B2BKing introduces a powerful Subaccounts feature. A main company account can create multiple sub-accounts and set specific permissions for each one. For example, the main account can enable 'company order approval', allowing sub-accounts to place orders but requiring review of each order before it goes through.
B2B buyers need to purchase a lot! Bundles and offers are great ways for them to try out multiple products at the right price.
Our B2B plugin introduces a simple way of creating offers, bundling multiple products together and setting a unit price for each product. These offers can even be emailed as a PDF, branded with your company's logo.
Furthermore, when a customer requests a quote, you can reply with an offer personalized to their needs.
In B2B e-commerce, each buyer is different. You may deal with small mom-and-pop shops or large resellers that need to place big orders. B2BKing allows you to sort customers into 'Business Groups' and offer different terms, prices, and options for each group.
For example, here are just a few of the things you could set up:
The plugin's goal is flexibility, and there are dozens of rules and ways you can configure things for each group or even each individual user.
You may want to vet customers before allowing them access to your platform. You can do this easily through B2BKing's 'manual approval' feature. You can configure a detailed registration form and ask all kinds of questions and information from prospective buyers. You can even require them to upload documents such as their business license or VAT exemption certificate.
Then you can review their accounts and either approve or reject them.
B2B customers are important accounts! You may want to have a dedicated sales rep assigned to each customer, managing the relationship and discussing their needs. For this purpose, you can use the SalesKing plugin to create a special dashboard for each of your agents.
Agents can log in here and view customers, messages, create orders, view commissions, and much more.
With SalesKing, an agent can discuss requirements with a customer and then go ahead and place an order on their behalf. When this happens, the customer receives an email with the order details and a simple 1-click 'Go to payment' page where they can pay for and finalize the order.
When operating a WooCommerce B2B store, you may find that customers often place orders for the same products. They may have found a best-seller for their own store, or perhaps they're simply restocking on a regular basis.
Your customers will love B2BKing's purchase lists feature. It allows them to save lists of products that they can easily add to cart with a single click or download as a CSV file.
You may need to exempt B2B buyers from tax, or perhaps show prices including tax for B2C buyers but excluding tax for your B2B buyers. This is easy to achieve with B2BKing's tax exemption rules.
These rules can be configured differently for each user and even for each country. Furthermore, you can connect them to a valid VAT number. If you're in an EU country, VAT numbers can even be validated automatically through the official European API!
These are just a few of our plugin's features. If you're looking for a specific function, read through our site or simply go ahead and get in touch with us. Open a ticket and we'll get back to you with any information you need!
