B2B Ecommerce Portal for Distributors and Wholesalers
A B2B ecommerce portal lets your retailers and dealers log in, see their own prices and stock, place bulk orders, track dispatch and pay online — instead of phone calls and WhatsApp messages. It handles price lists, credit limits, schemes and GST invoices. Kode Studio in Hyderabad builds B2B portals and reorder apps from about ₹1.5 lakh.

Why distributors move orders online
In most Indian distribution businesses, orders still arrive as phone calls, WhatsApp messages and handwritten lists from salespeople. Someone in the office types them into billing software, checks stock, calls back about unavailable items, and chases payments. Errors creep in, and the business can only take orders during office hours.
A B2B portal lets buyers place orders themselves, any time, at the right price — with stock, credit and schemes applied automatically. Your team spends time on dispatch and relationships instead of data entry.
Features of a B2B ordering portal
For buyers
- Login with GSTIN-verified accounts
- Their own price list, discounts and schemes
- Quick order by SKU, barcode or previous order
- Minimum order quantities and case packs
- Credit balance, outstanding and ledger
- Order tracking, invoices and payment links
For your team
- Approve new dealers and assign price groups
- Credit limits and order holds
- Salesperson app to order on behalf of shops
- Stock by warehouse with allocation
- Dispatch, e-way bills and GST invoices
- Reports by dealer, area, product and salesperson
B2B vs B2C ecommerce: what’s different
| B2C store | B2B portal | |
|---|---|---|
| Prices | Same for everyone | Different per buyer or group |
| Payment | Pay now (UPI, card, COD) | Credit terms, partial payments, ledgers |
| Order size | A few items | Dozens of SKUs, case quantities |
| Access | Public | Login-only, approved buyers |
| Invoices | B2C GST invoice | B2B GST invoice with buyer GSTIN, e-way bills |
That is why platforms built for retail ecommerce struggle with B2B. A custom portal handles these rules natively.
Connecting to Tally, ERP and your warehouse
The portal works best when it is not another island. We connect it to your billing or ERP so stock and prices come from one source and orders flow back as sales orders or invoices. For businesses on Tally, orders can be exported as vouchers; for businesses on a custom ERP or our billing software, the integration is direct. WhatsApp notifications confirm orders, dispatch and payment reminders.
Cost of a B2B ecommerce portal
| Scope | Typical cost | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Catalogue, login pricing, bulk cart, orders, admin | ₹1,50,000 – ₹3,00,000 | 6–8 weeks |
| + Credit limits, ledgers, payment links, schemes, Tally export | ₹3,00,000 – ₹5,00,000 | 8–11 weeks |
| + Salesperson app, multi-warehouse, ERP integration | ₹5,00,000 – ₹8,00,000+ | 11–14 weeks |

Before you build: decisions to make
- Who can register? Open sign-up with GSTIN verification, or invitation only?
- How are prices set? By customer group, by quantity slab, by region — and who can change them?
- What are the credit rules? Limits, days, holds, and who approves exceptions.
- Where does stock come from? Your billing software, ERP or a manual upload?
- How will you deliver? Own vehicles, transporters or couriers — and whether e-way bills are needed.
- Who owns the dealer relationship? Salespeople should see their dealers’ orders and outstanding in their app.
Having these answers before development starts keeps the project focused and the quote accurate.
