Project Overview

A comprehensive B2B solution for WooCommerce that transforms a standard online store into a full wholesale platform. The system handles trade registration, customer-specific pricing, credit accounts, and ERP integration.

The platform processes over £2M in orders annually with 500+ active trade accounts.

02

The Challenge

The wholesale distributor needed to offer different pricing to different customer groups, manage credit accounts with payment terms, and synchronise all orders with their Sage 50 accounting system—functionality that standard WooCommerce does not provide out of the box.

03

Our Approach

We developed a custom WordPress plugin that extends WooCommerce with B2B-specific features. The plugin was architected to be maintainable and compatible with WooCommerce core updates, with all customisations properly hooked rather than modifying core files.

04

The Solution

A comprehensive B2B plugin featuring trade account registration with document upload and approval workflow, individual customer pricing with volume discounts, credit limit management with automated holds, and bi-directional Sage 50 synchronisation for customers, orders, and invoices.

Key Features Delivered

01

Trade Registration Workflow

Application form with company details, VAT number validation, trade references, and admin approval process.

02

Customer-Specific Pricing

Individual price lists, percentage discounts, and volume break pricing per customer or customer group.

03

Credit Account Management

Credit limits, payment terms (30/60/90 days), account statements, and automated payment reminders.

04

Sage 50 Integration

Real-time sync of customers, orders, invoices, and payments with Sage 50 accounting software.

The B2B platform has completely transformed our online wholesale business. Trade customers can place orders 24/7, see their specific pricing, and everything syncs automatically with Sage.
