Magento was developed in 2007 by the American software development company Varien Inc. as an open-source e-commerce platform for both B2B and B2C companies. The platform was designed to provide users with a high level of flexibility and control over their webshops. In 2018, Magento was acquired by Adobe, and since then, the platform has grown and evolved. Today, Magento is one of the leading platforms for both B2B and B2C solutions and is used by hundreds of thousands of companies worldwide.
When working with B2B, there is often a need for a more complex and specialized e-commerce solution compared to B2C. Therefore, it is important to choose your B2B e-commerce platform carefully. You need a solution that can handle a certain level of complexity in a way that is understandable and easily accessible to use. And here you have two options with Magento:
You can run your B2B webshop using the Magento open-source e-commerce platform. However, this version only includes a few B2B features, so you would need to purchase third-party tools that provide the additional B2B features you require. Alternatively, you can work with a Magento developer who can develop the features you need for your B2B setup.
Adobe Commerce is what was previously known as Magento Enterprise. Adobe Commerce offers a wide range of features and capabilities to build a B2B webshop that meets the specific requirements and needs of B2B e-commerce. Adobe Commerce includes features such as customer-specific pricing and discounts, multi-level order approval, product configurators, and complex catalog structures. These features allow you to customize Magento to your company's specific needs and potential future growth. It is also possible to integrate various third-party applications such as ERP systems, inventory management systems, and CRM systems. These integrations can be significant in your day-to-day operations as they enable data consolidation and centralization, improving efficiency in business processes.
Adobe Commerce is an ideal solution for companies looking to sell and distribute their products online. The B2B solution provides all the necessary features to manage customers, inventory, orders, and shipping. With a B2B webshop in Magento, you can take advantage of the many unique features that save you time and resources while providing your customers with a superior online experience.

The functionalities of Adobe Commerce make it an ideal choice for businesses looking to build a B2B webshop on Magento. With a range of features designed specifically for B2B companies, the platform is capable of delivering a professional and customized e-commerce solution to grow your business. Here are some of the most significant B2B features:
When a customer submits a quote request, it will immediately be visible in the backend of the store, where you can approve or reject the request. In Adobe Commerce, quote information is continuously updated between buyers and sellers. Customers receive emails about their quote status, allowing them to convert quotes into orders or continue updating quotes. As a seller, you can constantly monitor the backend of the store and approve or reject the quote.
For B2B businesses, delays can result in revenue loss, and any extra step in the customer journey can drive away your customers. Therefore, with the Quick Order feature, you can allow customers to order multiple products by entering names and SKUs or even importing a CSV file with all the product information, which they can then add to the cart with a single click.
With Magento 2 Requistion List, customers do not have to repeat the entire process of finding and adding products to the cart. Instead, your customers can create a list, like a wishlist, with their preferred products. When it is time to reorder, customers don't have to waste time starting from scratch or risk forgetting important items. And unlike a regular wishlist where products are removed once purchased, they remain on the list for the next time the customer logs in to make a purchase.
Adobe Commerce helps customize catalogs and price lists to match your specific needs. You can make use of differential pricing to offer discounts based on volume purchases.
Some of your customers may want products shipped to more than one location. In such cases, with B2B features in Adobe Commerce, you can offer split shipping options and meet your customers' desires and expectations.
Adobe Commerce has replenishment rules that allow businesses to automatically reorder products when they start running low, ensuring they never have to worry about out-of-stock items. When you choose Adobe Commerce for your B2B business, the platform helps keep operations as seamless and efficient as possible.
As a B2B website owner, you probably know the importance of having a fast and optimized search function that provides a good user experience. Adobe Commerce helps optimize the search function in several ways:
With Adobe Commerce, you don't have to worry about security. You have control over access to your website, and you can guarantee that only authorized users have access to make changes to data. You also get Magento 2 Two-Factor Authentication, Magento Security Scan Tool, and Magento Enterprise Edition Firewall, which enhance security.
Adobe Commerce ensures that your B2B webshop is mobile-friendly with a range of features:
These and much more are what you get when using Adobe Commerce as the e-commerce platform for your B2B webshop.
Some of these features are also available in Magento B2B, such as customer logins and prices per customer group. And if you want additional B2B features, they can be purchased as third-party tools or developed by your Magento developer
