# B2B commerce

Company accounts, quotes, approval workflows, customer-specific pricing, and payment terms for B2B and wholesale stores built with Medusa.

## Entries

- [B2B company accounts, buyer roles and approval workflows](https://medusajs.com/kb/b2b/b2b-company-accounts-approvals.md): Medusa handles B2B company accounts through the official B2B Starter. A Company module groups employees, each linked to a customer with a spending limit and an admin flag. An Approval module requires company admin or sales manager approval before checkout. Value-based or multi-level approval rules are custom, built with workflow hooks.
- [How to build a B2B store with custom pricing per customer](https://medusajs.com/kb/b2b/b2b-customer-specific-pricing.md): To build a B2B store with custom pricing per customer in Medusa, put each customer or company in a customer group and attach a price list with a customer.groups.id rule. Add quantity tiers with min_quantity, and fetch live prices from your ERP at add-to-cart when the ERP owns contract prices. All of this runs on Medusa's open-source Pricing Module.
- [B2B ecommerce platform with quotes, company accounts and approval flows](https://medusajs.com/kb/b2b/b2b-ecommerce-platform.md): Medusa supports B2B ecommerce with quotes, company accounts and approval flows through its official B2B Starter, built on native price lists, tiered pricing, and sales channels. Companies, employees, spending limits, approvals, and quotes ship as open-source modules you can change. Punchout, requisition lists, net terms, and multi-level approval rules are custom work.
- [Net terms, purchase orders and bulk ordering for B2B](https://medusajs.com/kb/b2b/b2b-payment-terms-bulk-ordering.md): Medusa supports B2B net terms through its built-in system payment provider or a custom payment provider that authorizes now and captures when the invoice is paid. PO numbers fit in cart metadata, which Medusa copies to the order. The Medusa B2B starter adds bulk add-to-cart and per-employee spending limits, and company credit limits are a custom validation hook.
- [B2B quotes and RFQ: how quote-to-order works](https://medusajs.com/kb/b2b/b2b-quotes-rfq.md): In Medusa, B2B quotes work through a Quote module from the official B2B Starter and quote management guide. A customer requests a quote from the cart, the merchant edits prices and quantities on a draft order in Medusa Admin, and the customer accepts or rejects. Accepting converts the draft order into a regular order.
- [Shopify B2B alternatives for teams that can write code](https://medusajs.com/kb/b2b/shopify-b2b-alternatives.md): For teams that can write code, the main Shopify B2B alternatives are Medusa, BigCommerce B2B, OroCommerce, Adobe Commerce B2B and Vendure. Medusa's core is open source (MIT) with no GMV fee, and its B2B starter adds companies, approvals and quotes. Shopify B2B limits non-Plus plans to 3 catalogs and reserves per-company catalogs for Shopify Plus.
