Magento 2 B2B Marketplace
11 Review(s)

Description

Magento 2 B2B Marketplace is a Magento extension that creates an online platform for business buyers and suppliers. They connect and trade with each other around the globe.

You can convert your Magento (Adobe Commerce) store into a B2B marketplace like Alibaba, Indiamart, ThomasNet, or EC21.

Built-in B2B commerce features include a separate supplier microsite, request a quote, quick order, contact supplier, and supplier reviews.

Suppliers register with a shop name and shop URL, then run their business from a supplier dashboard.

Buyers open a supplier microsite, send an inquiry, or request a quote. They can also add many products at once through Quick Order and finish approved quotes with Add to Cart.

Additionally, if you want more features in your B2B marketplace, the extension supports a huge list of Magento 2 Marketplace Add-ons.

Highlighted Features of Magento 2 B2B Marketplace

 B2B Bulk Ordering

Business buyers place bulk orders through Quick Order, and suppliers manage a large number of SKUs.

 Product Type Restriction

Admins select the product types that suppliers can add, such as simple, downloadable, configurable, and virtual.

 Order Approval

When the admin sets Order Approval to Yes, suppliers see an order only after the admin reviews it.

 Low Stock Alerts

With a low stock quantity set by the admin, suppliers receive an email when product stock runs low.

 Supplier Review Settings

Only buyers who purchased from a supplier can review that supplier, when the admin enables the purchase-only option.

 Quotation Management

Customers request a quote for any quantity of a product, and the supplier can approve or reject it.

Why Do We Need Magento 2 B2B Marketplace?

Magento is built for stores that sell their own products to shoppers. A B2B marketplace needs many suppliers, and each one needs a shop, a catalog, and a way to talk to business buyers.

Without a marketplace layer, the store team adds suppliers by hand and answers quote requests and product questions over email. Every new supplier adds more manual work.

Magento 2 B2B Marketplace gives each supplier a registration form, a dashboard, and a microsite. Buyers use Quick Order, Request a Quote, and Message Supplier without leaving the store.

Before suppliers list anything, the admin sets allowed product types, product approval, order approval, and the low stock quantity for email alerts.

Also, if you want a mobile app for your B2B marketplace, you can check Magento 2 B2B Vendor Mobile App.

Magento 2 B2B Marketplace Use Cases

  • Build a Trade Portal

    Run a marketplace like Alibaba, Indiamart, ThomasNet, or EC21, where suppliers open shops and business buyers browse and contact them.

  • Healthcare and Hygiene Supply

    Kimberly-Clark Professional Brasil built a B2B healthcare marketplace on Magento 2 with Webkul Marketplace. Read the Kimberly-Clark case study.

  • Construction Materials Procurement

    Stockpile connects construction material suppliers and contractors on Adobe Commerce. Read the Stockpile case study.

  • Vehicle Lease Marketplace

    SNB Alahli runs an auto lease marketplace in Saudi Arabia where customers browse and lease cars from many dealerships. Read the SNB Alahli case study.

  • Source Products with Buying Leads

    Buyers send one request for listed or unlisted products, and the request goes to suppliers by category.

  • Repeat Bulk Orders

    Buyers add many products by name or SKU in the Quick Order form, set quantities, and go straight to checkout.

 Supplier Registration & Verification

Suppliers get their own login and registration section on the storefront. Registration takes a name, email, password, contact information, and address.

After email verification, a supplier becomes a Premium Supplier and receives a verified badge. Admins approve or disapprove supplier accounts.

  • Separate login and registration for suppliers
  • Set a shop name and a custom shop URL at registration
  • Verify the supplier email to receive the verified supplier badge
  • Approve or disapprove supplier accounts from the admin panel
  • Customize the landing page layout, banner, title, button labels, feature icons, and terms URL

Magento 2 Social Login* lets customers use their existing social networking credentials to log in to your B2B marketplace quickly.

It supports login from Facebook, Twitter, Google, LinkedIn, and Instagram. *Sold separately.

 Supplier Dashboard

A supplier dashboard shows business performance in metrics and graphs. Suppliers use them to check sales and improve operations.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) measure the sales and revenue of the supplier.

  • Top-selling products and top-selling categories
  • Customers count and order status
  • Lifetime sales and total payout
  • Recent activities and supplier reviews
  • Create invoices, shipments, and credit memos, and add carrier names and tracking numbers

Magento 2 Advanced Report System Marketplace Add-on* gives suppliers detailed reports by category, order status, date interval, sellers, and geolocation. *Sold separately.

 Supplier Microsite

Each supplier gets an exclusive microsite with separate pages for products, reviews, contacts, and policies. Suppliers can add or edit this information at any time.

You can also maintain supplier information and inventory purchase order information with Magento 2 ERP Extension.

  • Supplier profile page with company name, ratings, address, and contact details
  • Featured products section on the supplier profile
  • Product collection page with navigation filters and grid or list layout
  • Supplier reviews and ratings from buyers
  • Company information, overview, certification, and social media links
  • Shipping and return policy details, plus a supplier contact card

Supplier Subdomain

Supplier Subdomain lets each supplier use a subdomain or domain of their own. Buyers open the shop and purchase products directly from microsite URLs under that domain.

Webkul includes the Vendor Sub-Domain module with the extension.

  • Set the Subdomain URL prefix in the module settings. The shop URL comes from the Shop URL entered at supplier registration.
  • Give each supplier a domain for every store view. The admin provides the domain for each view.
  • Show admin products on the supplier page with the Display Admin Product On Category Page option.
  • Create separate microsite URLs for the profile, collection, location, and feedback pages under the supplier domain.

 Message Supplier

Business customers can find the right supplier and ask a quick question. Both sides can send messages with file attachments.

  • Send an inquiry to a supplier
  • View the supplier response rate and response time
  • Attach files to messages
  • Use the supplier-customer messaging system for replies
  • Receive an email notification for each new message and reply

For more messaging options, check our Magento 2 Buyer Seller Communication Marketplace Add-on. It adds Contact Seller links, conversation history, and status tracking.

Request a Quote

A customer sends a quote request to a supplier with a detailed description and the expected price. Customers find the option on the supplier microsite, and can also send a quick request from the product page.

Buying Leads send one Request for Quote for listed or unlisted products to several suppliers by category. Customers find it in the website header and track every request under My Requested Quotes.

  • Add sample product images to the request
  • Enter a quote description with a subject title and contact information
  • The supplier approves or rejects a quote
  • The customer messages the supplier during negotiation
  • Complete approved quotes with Add to Cart

If you want the admin to choose automatic or manual RFQ approval, check our Magento 2 Marketplace Request For Quotation (RFQ) add-on.

 Quick Order

Quick Order lets a customer buy products without visiting each product page. In the quick order form, the customer searches by product name or SKU, sets the quantity, and goes straight to checkout.

Add Row adds more products to the form. Checkout then follows the standard Magento steps of choosing a shipping address and a payment method.

  • Find products using the product name
  • Find products using the SKU
  • Set the quantity and add more rows with Add Row
  • View the sub-total and discounts
  • Estimate shipping and taxes before checkout

 Email Notifications

Admins, suppliers, and customers receive email notifications on different occasions. Admins can customize and select a template for every notification email.

  • Supplier Account - New request, approve, disapprove, and deny
  • Supplier Products - New product, approval, deny, and edit approval request
  • Customer Messages and Product Queries - A question to the admin or supplier, or about a product
  • Request a Quote - New quote request, edit quote, quote message, and status update
  • Supplier Orders - New order placed and invoiced
  • Transactions, Low Stock, and Payouts - Transaction and low stock notices, plus the withdrawal request mail for payout

Magento 2 Twilio SMS Notification Marketplace Add-on* sends SMS notifications to suppliers. The alerts cover account and product approval or disapproval, order cancel, invoice, shipped, credit memo, and product sold. *Sold separately.

At WEBKUL, I was able to find what I needed from a partner company
As a result of collaboration, Webkul successfully delivered a functional platform. The team communicated and managed the project through a ticketing system. Overall, their timeliness stood out.

To tell the truth
To tell the truth, initially since I only know them online, I had some doubts about their service and product. I tried them with two products.

Their professional customer service, the quality of their products, their dedication to improvement and to correct issues, their speedy response all make you feel you found the right technology company.

Thank you Webkul.

Great service and support
During initial days of engagement, it was quite tough to work with Webkul Team because they work on Ticketing system and we were not use to it however, after that we were fortunate to get very good Business executive “Hari” who drive our project exceptionally well and give us lot of confidence of project delivery. Really happy with work Webkul is doing at the moment for our project. Now I think, we have given our work in good hand !
Thanks Hari and Team. Truly appreciate it.

Good Extension, Great Support
We have been using the B2B marketplace and a few of its add-on extensions. Together they work great as a B2B Marketplace.

The after sales support has been very prompt and responsive to our customization needs and have resolved a few issues that we encountered in a fast and timely manner.

Thanks a lot !
