B2B ecommerce integration, explained

How do you integrate a B2B ordering portal with your accounting or ERP?

A B2B ecommerce portal lets trade buyers reorder, check prices, view statements and track deliveries themselves. We connect it to your accounting or ERP so contract prices, credit limits and order status are always current, and buyer orders become sales orders without retyping.

We connect through the API of your B2B ordering portal, or one we build for you.

Typical clients: distributors and manufacturers giving trade customers a self-service ordering portal.

Before you integrate B2B ecommerce

What do trade buyers expect from a B2B portal?

Trade buyers are not browsing; they are reordering. They want their usual products, their negotiated prices, their credit balance and the status of last week’s delivery, all without phoning a rep. Each of those comes from your accounting or ERP. A B2B portal is only as useful as that connection, which is why we treat the integration as the core of the project rather than an add-on.

Six systems we connect to B2B ecommerce. Each has its own page with the field map and failure points.

B2B ecommerce + Sage 50

A Sage 50 B2B ecommerce integration lets trade buyers reorder, see their Pastel prices and download statements from a portal, while the portal’s purchase orders arrive in Sage 50 as sales orders with the buyer’s PO number.

Where B2B ecommerce integrations go wrong.

The issues we see most often, and what the connector does about them.

Common problems

What goes wrong.

  • Contract prices updated in the ERP but not the portal
  • Buyers cannot see statements or order status
  • Purchase order numbers lost between systems
Built in

What we do.

  • Price and credit sync on change
  • Statements and delivery status pulled from the ERP
  • Buyer PO numbers carried onto every document
How we deliver an integration

A clear path. Tested before it goes live.

Every connector is built in staging, run in parallel with your team and monitored after launch.

  1. Step 1

    Discovery and mapping

    We audit SKUs, warehouses, customers and accounts on both sides and agree a written field map.

  2. Step 2

    Staging connector

    The connector is built and tested against test data or a copy of your company.

  3. Step 3

    Parallel run and go-live

    Both the old process and the connector run side by side until the numbers match.

  4. Step 4

    Monitor and support

    Alerts, logs and a runbook, with monitoring plans from R2,500 a month.

Your questions, answered

A few good questions.

Have something else in mind?

Let’s talk
Do you build the B2B portal as well?

We can. Some clients already have a portal and need the integration; others want both. Either way, prices, credit and order status come from your accounting or ERP.

Can buyers see their statements and invoices?

Yes. Statements, invoices and delivery notes are pulled from your accounting system, so buyers serve themselves instead of emailing your team.

Can different users at one buyer have different permissions?

Yes. Buyer accounts can have users with roles, such as someone who builds orders and someone who approves them.

How much does B2B ecommerce integration cost?

A B2B ecommerce connector to one accounting system or ERP is usually an Essential connector at R15,000–R35,000 once-off, 1–3 weeks after discovery. Several systems or channels move into the Integration hub tier, R45,000–R120,000.
