Plan your trade portalRead the B2B fashion study

Business buyers are still people in a hurry.

Trade customers expect the convenience of online shopping with the terms of a business account: their prices, their catalogue, their payment terms and a fast way to reorder what they bought last month.

We have built B2B platforms including an interactive trade experience for an international fashion brand. We understand account structures, price lists, quantity breaks, approvals and the integration with ERP and stock systems that makes it all work.

What a B2B platform can include.

Shaped around how your customers buy and how your team fulfils.

  • Account pricing

    Customer-specific price lists, discounts and quantity breaks applied automatically.

  • Restricted catalogues

    Products and ranges visible only to the accounts that should see them.

  • Fast reordering

    Quick order forms, order history and saved lists for repeat purchasing.

  • Account roles

    Multiple buyers per company, with spending limits and approval steps.

  • Payment terms

    Credit accounts, invoices and on-account ordering alongside card payments.

  • ERP integration

    Orders, stock and prices synchronised with your back-office systems.

Built around how trade customers buy.

A B2B buyer often knows exactly what they want. Quick order by SKU, reorder from history, clear stock availability and their own pricing shown up front all save time and phone calls.

For brands with seasonal ranges, we can create interactive ordering experiences that make collections easy to browse and order.

  • Quick order and bulk entry
  • Customer pricing shown on every product
  • Seasonal and pre-order ranges

How a project works.

A clear sequence with review points, so you always know what is happening and what is needed from you.

  1. Step 1

    Discover

    We map the workflow, the people involved, the data and the systems it touches, then agree what success looks like.

  2. Step 2

    Specify

    A clear scope, data model and plan. Where it helps, a clickable prototype so you can test the idea before it is built.

  3. Step 3

    Build in stages

    Working software early and often, reviewed with you at each stage and tested against real examples.

  4. Step 4

    Launch & support

    Careful deployment, documentation and handover, with ongoing support and development if you want it.

Questions, answered.

Anything else you would like to know? Ask Glenn directly

Can B2B and retail run on the same platform?

Yes. Many businesses run a retail shop and a trade portal from the same catalogue, with different prices, content and checkout rules for each audience.

Which platform do you use for B2B?

CS-Cart is a strong option for many B2B requirements and is our specialism, but we recommend the platform that suits your catalogue, integrations and budget.

Can customers see their own invoices and order history?

Yes. Account areas can show orders, invoices, statements and documents, often pulled directly from your ERP or accounting system.
