“BigCommerce supports all four capabilities, but they are not all included in the standard BigCommerce platform.”
+ B2B capabilities via B2B Edition

“BigCommerce B2B Edition provides these capabilities in one integrated offering.”

+ Company accounts

“Create corporate accounts with multiple buyers and company-specific settings.”

+ Buyer roles and permissions

“Junior Buyer, Senior Buyer and Company Admin roles, plus custom roles.”

+ Quote management

“Buyers request quotes; sales representatives create, negotiate and send quotes.”

+ Approval workflows

“Junior buyers submit shopping lists for approval by Senior Buyers or Company Admins.”

+ Company hierarchies

“Parent-child company relationships for subsidiaries, branches and locations.”

+ Purchase orders

“Purchase order payment methods and company-specific credit settings.”

+ Integration into control panel

“B2B Edition integrates into the BigCommerce control panel and provides the dedicated B2B functionality.”

− B2B features not in standard platform

“The important distinction is that B2B Edition is an additional offering with its own pricing, rather than functionality you automatically get with a standard BigCommerce store.”

− Limited approval workflows

“One important qualification: this is primarily a shopping-list approval workflow.”

− Additional cost for B2B Edition

“However, you should budget for B2B Edition separately from the standard BigCommerce subscription.”

“I can also put together a feature-by-feature comparison of BigCommerce B2B Edition vs Shopify Plus B2B vs Adobe Commerce B2B, particularly around approval workflows, company accounts and quoting.”
