How the apps work together

The BSS B2B suite has three apps. Each one owns a clear part of the B2B journey, so you can start with one and add the others when you need them.

Collection for a logged-in wholesale customer: every product at $20.00 with the retail price struck through

Quick Order page on the storefront: filters, product search, Bulk Import and a row per product with quantity and Add to cart

Storefront collection for a guest: Login to View Price replaces each price

What your customers see on the storefront.

App What it owns Typical features
BSS B2B Solution Who your B2B customers are and what they pay Custom pricing, volume pricing, price lists, registration forms with approval, tax exempt and tax display, order limits, net terms

Register → Approve → Tag → Price → Unlock → Order

  1. Register. A buyer fills in a wholesale registration form built in BSS B2B Solution.
  2. Approve. You approve the application. On approval, BSS B2B Solution adds the tags you configured on the form (for example wholesale).
  3. Price. BSS B2B Solution pricing rules that target that tag start to apply: custom prices, volume tiers, price lists.
  4. Unlock. BSS B2B Lock rules that target the same tag unlock wholesale collections, pages or prices for that customer.
  5. Order. BSS B2B Quote gives the buyer a fast way to order at those prices: a Quick Order page, CSV upload, a quote request, or reordering a past order.

The customer tag is the link between the apps. Use the same tag names everywhere and keep them consistent (tags are matched as text, so Wholesale and wholesale-tier-1 are different tags).
