¶ B2B sales in Hummerce - accounts, prices and quotes
Hummerce supports selling to businesses (B2B) in the same store as selling to individual customers (B2C) - with a set of modules enabled as needed: company accounts with several employees, individual prices and terms, quotes for non-standard products, offers prepared by customers for their own buyers, and company data fetched from GUS (Statistics Poland company registry) and verified in VIES. The modules work independently and are combined depending on the store's sales model.
As of Hummerce 2.27-2.35, updated 2026-09-28.
¶ The business customer's journey
- Company accounts - a company with several employee accounts, shared prices and addresses, an account manager.
- Approving company orders - the company manager approves, cancels and pays for employees' orders.
- Price lists and individual prices - individual product and delivery prices for a company or customer, quantity-threshold prices.
- Quotes - request for quote (RFQ) - the customer asks for a price on a non-standard product, the store quotes it, the customer orders at the quoted price.
- Offers - a business customer prepares an offer with their own price for their buyer.
- Company data from GUS and VIES - a company's name and address by tax ID (NIP), EU VAT number verification.
The modules are based on Views, which let you run a B2B and a B2C store on one panel, one catalog and one customer base - see B2B and B2C sales in one store.
¶ What it looks like
¶ Extensions implemented individually
The following features aren't part of the platform standard - the store enables them as part of an individual implementation.
- Quick ordering by item symbol and importing a cart from a file (symbol, quantity) - beyond the standard, implemented individually.
- Custom roles in the company and multi-level order approval - beyond the standard, implemented individually. The standard is two roles: the account manager and the employee (Company accounts).
- Purchasing limits and payment terms - available in the ERP integrations (Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Navision), Comarch ERP XL), implemented individually: the customer sees their limit and payment term, the order is always accepted, and if the limit is exceeded, the customer gets a message that the order will be processed once outstanding payments are settled.
¶ Frequently asked questions
Does Hummerce support selling to businesses (B2B) in the same store as retail sales?
Yes. Company accounts, B2B prices and offers work in the same store as B2C sales, on a separate view (B2B and B2C sales in one store).
Can a company have its own roles and multi-level order approval?
By default, a company has two roles - the account manager and the employee - with one level of order approval. Custom roles and multi-level approval are an individually implemented extension.
Does the store enforce a business customer's purchasing limit?
Not by default. Purchasing limits and payment terms are available in the ERP integrations (Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Navision), Comarch ERP XL), implemented individually.
Can a business customer place an order by item symbol from a file?
Not by default - quick ordering by item symbol and importing a cart from a file (symbol, quantity) is an individually implemented extension.
How long does implementing B2B sales take?
It depends on the chosen modules - each has its own scope and implementation time, described on its own page.
