ERP and ecommerce: who owns which data, and how to connect the two
ERP ecommerce guide for decision makers: which system owns products, prices, stock and orders, three integration patterns, cost drivers and when to wait.
B2B commerce
How to move wholesale sales online, from choosing a B2B platform and customer price lists to company accounts, order approvals and ERP integration, so customers order on their own and your team retypes nothing.
In B2B sales the price, discount, payment term and credit limit depend on the customer, and several people usually order on the customer's side. As long as orders arrive by email and phone, a sales rep enforces those rules and the team retypes each line into the ERP. A store with one price for everyone cannot replace that, because it does not know the terms a specific company buys on.
The articles in this section show how to fit a B2B platform to the price lists, trade terms and systems you already have: when a subscription platform is enough, when you need your own logic and what to settle before an ERP integration. Each article says when a ready-made product is the better choice, and every price has a source and a date.
If you would rather have a platform your customers already order on than another comparison, we launch a live B2B and B2C store on our Medusa foundation in 30 days, from €10,000 net.
