Webito runs B2B and B2C on the same catalogue and the same order pipeline. Retail customers see consumer pricing with VAT applied; company accounts sign in and see their assigned price list, quantity break pricing, a quick order pad for repeat purchasing, quote requests for negotiated deals, and net payment terms with pay-by-invoice. You maintain one set of products and one inventory position, and the platform decides what each buyer sees.
The usual workaround, and why it fails
The common approach is a second store for wholesale, or a plugin that hides prices behind a login. Both split your catalogue: stock drifts between the two, a product edit has to be made twice, and reporting stops adding up. Webito treats buyer type as an attribute of the customer rather than a reason to duplicate the store, so one product change lands everywhere and inventory stays a single number.
Pricing as a hierarchy, not a discount code
Wholesale pricing is rarely a flat percentage. Webito layers price lists over the base catalogue: a tier for distributors, another for retailers, a specific list for the account you negotiated separately: plus quantity break pricing set per variant. The most specific rule that applies to the signed-in buyer wins, which is how your sales team already thinks about it.
Companies have structure
A business customer is not one email address. Company accounts carry multiple contacts with their own permissions, a billing identity separate from the person placing the order, VAT registration details used for reverse-charge determination, and the electronic addresses needed to route structured invoices. Buyer hierarchies let a parent company see what its branches order.
Quotes and terms, tracked
Some orders start as a question. Quote requests let a buyer assemble a basket and ask for a price; your team responds, the negotiation history stays attached, and an accepted quote converts into an order without retyping. Net payment terms and pay-by-invoice mean the order can ship before the money arrives, with credit notes and statements to keep the ledger honest.
