Shopware will meet the expectations of both advanced, scalable B2B projects on an international scale, medium-sized enterprises that expect unique brand creation or flexible service functions, as well as family businesses starting their adventure with e-commerce.

Shopware 6 - Good place for B2B Trade

The Core and API first interface tools used in the platform are a solid base for a functional, intuitive online B2B sales service. However, the platform offers much more. An example of this is a number of functionalities in the version of the B2B Suite platform that meets the requirements of complex business models of B2B enterprises.

The system supports field service, which makes it easy to specify access for specific employees to individual customer accounts.

This is an important element of the implementation of the existing sales structures of the company in the eCommerce activity, e.g. individual responsibility of each sales representative for contact with the assigned business client. It is a way to conduct consistent consultancy and build relationships by personalizing the approach to individual needs.

The pricing policy and ordering processes on the eCommerce website, built on the Shopware B2B Suite platform, are adapted to the structure of the B2B market. The system allows for convenient, highly individual differentiation of discount scales and price rates in relation to the number of orders or other factors contained in the contract with the customer.

Similarly, in the case of order processing, the process can be adapted to the characteristics of the needs of our B2B customers, which, unlike the behaviour of end consumers, are characterized by a relatively constant cyclical nature. For this reason, it is very important to facilitate and automate the ordering process, e.g. by using a CSV or XLS file or even an article mask.

Magento vs Shopware - sales platforms analysis

Choosing the right sales platform is a matter that defines many aspects: what kind of e-commerce you want to build, how you will use it, and what consumer experience your customers will have. We prepared the analysis that will help you choose and find the answer: which one fits your business best.

Both Magento 2 and Shopware 6 are open-source solutions, so they can be freely developed and modified. However, they hold many significant differences that make them dedicated to completely different target groups. We present a compilation of these two systems on the basis of many categories. This analysis will help you choose and find the answer: which one fits your business best.

Measurable benefits

Shopware 6 is distinguished from the competition by the price transparency of the implementation and maintenance of the e-commerce system. Each package is based on a one-time fee for using the system, regardless of the turnover results achieved by the store or the number of products it will contain.

Further savings are generatedbecause of the exceptional simplicity and intuitiveness of the implementation. This minimizes the effort and reduces the time of programmers devoted to the process of creating an e-store. In turn, the intuitive administration panel improves the management of the store, product offer and purchases, which brings further savings in the field of current store management.

The access to a rich database of plug-ins and extensions allows for almost unlimited space to expand the functionality of your store. If you do not find one that meets your expectations among the existing add-ons - we will create it for you.
