The best B2B ordering platforms in 2026
Let trade customers order online, at their own prices, without the emails and spreadsheets.
A B2B ordering platform gives your wholesale customers a login where they see their own prices and minimums, and place orders that land straight in your system. Here is the short answer.
For most small wholesalers: Orderspace, a ready-made ordering site from $65 a month with unlimited orders. Already selling on Shopify, BigCommerce or WooCommerce: SparkLayer, free for 5 orders a month, then from $49. On a tight budget with Shopify: its native Shopify B2B features from $29 a month billed yearly. Big catalog and sales reps: B2B Wave. Orders arriving by EDI and email: OrderEase. Fashion brands: JOOR or NuORDER.
The ranking is editorial: a sponsored spot is always labeled on its entry, and no affiliate link changes a score.
The best B2B ordering platform for your business
8 B2B ordering platforms compared
The "Where it stops" column is the limit you hit first on the entry plan: an order cap, a catalog cap, a fee or a sales process. It matters more than the headline price.

How we compared and scored
We started from what Google ranks for "b2b ordering platform" in the US. The top ten is mostly vendor pages (NuORDER, OrderEase, MarketTime, SparkLayer, Way2Order, Order41) plus one Reddit thread from a small business owner with a $50 monthly budget. So we built the list from the tools those pages and roundups name most, then added the ones that answer the Reddit question: Orderspace, Shopify's native B2B and SparkLayer. We reviewed sixteen platforms on their official pricing pages, help centers and app store reviews.
Each platform gets five scores: ease of setup, ordering features (customer prices, minimums, reps, quotes), price for a small supplier, integrations, and how well it scales. RepSpark, MarketTime and Elastic Suite serve rep-driven brands with sales-led pricing, Faire is a marketplace that takes a commission, and BigCommerce B2B Edition is a full commerce suite: they come up in the guide and the FAQ.
- Ease of setupHow fast a small team can put its catalog and customers online without a developer.20%

Orderspace
Orderspace gives you a dedicated B2B ordering site: your trade customers log in, see their own prices, and order from your catalog, while you manage orders, stock and invoices in one admin. It is a standalone product, so you don't need Shopify or WooCommerce to use it, and it connects to accounting tools through built-in integrations and an API: invoices export to Xero or QuickBooks Online, payments go through Stripe or PayPal, and Zapier covers the rest.
Every plan has unlimited orders, customers and products, and the price depends on team size. Ordering costs $65 a month with up to 3 admin users and no sales reps, on an orderspace.com sub-domain. Ordering Plus is $95 with your own domain and up to 3 sales reps, Sales Team $125 with up to 10 reps, Large Team $185 with up to 20. Prices exclude VAT, and there is a 30-day free trial.
The limit: the cheapest plan has no sales rep access and no custom domain, so a team with reps on the road starts at $95 or $125 a month. In the Reddit thread from the top 10, a small business owner on a $50 monthly budget found OrderEase and Orderspace out of their price range.
- Unlimited orders on every plan
- Standalone, no store needed
- 30-day free trial
- ✓Simple flat monthly price
- ✓Customer-specific pricing out of the box
- ✓API and accounting integrations
- ✗No sales reps on the $65 plan
- ✗No free plan
- ✗Own domain from $95 a month
The best start for a wholesaler who just wants customers to stop ordering by email. Already on Shopify? SparkLayer or Shopify's own B2B keep everything in one store.
SparkLayer
SparkLayer adds trade ordering to an existing store: price lists per customer, minimums, pack sizes, quick order forms and a portal that looks like the rest of your site. It is used on Shopify, BigCommerce, Wix and WooCommerce, which makes it a common choice for brands that sell both direct and wholesale.
The free Basic plan allows 3 price lists and 5 orders a month, enough to try it with a first customer. Starter is $49 a month for up to 50 orders, with unlimited price lists and 1 sales rep; Growth is $149 for 100 orders, invoicing and advanced discounts; Pro is $299 for 150 orders, a quoting engine, Xero and QuickBooks, and API access. Extra sales reps cost $39 each. Enterprise starts at $499 a month. Every paid plan comes with a 14-day free trial.
The limit: plans are capped by orders per month, so a wholesaler with many small orders climbs the grid fast. On the Shopify App Store, merchants describe it as a full B2B solution for running wholesale alongside D2C without Shopify Plus.
- Works inside Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce
- Free plan for 5 orders a month
- QuickBooks and Xero on Pro
- ✓One store for retail and wholesale
- ✓Strong reviews from merchants
- ✓Low entry price
- ✗Order caps on every plan
- ✗Sales reps cost extra
- ✗Needs an existing online store
The pick if you already run an online store and want wholesale in it. If you have no store and many orders, a flat-price portal like Orderspace avoids order caps.
Shopify B2B
Shopify's native B2B features let you set up companies and their locations, publish B2B catalogs with their own prices, quantity rules and price breaks, offer net payment terms, and take wholesale orders in the same admin as your retail sales. You can run a single store for both, or a separate B2B-only store.
Shopify B2B is available on the Basic, Grow, Advanced and Shopify Plus plans, but not on Starter or Retail. Basic costs $29 a month billed yearly, or $39 a month billed monthly, and includes up to 3 B2B catalogs, assigned to your B2B markets. Assigning a catalog directly to one company, for customer-level pricing, and unlimited catalogs are on Shopify Plus, which starts at $2,300 a month. So the cheap entry is real, with a ceiling: three catalogs means three price groups.
The limit: beyond three catalogs, the jump to Plus is steep, which is why many brands add an app like SparkLayer instead. Shopify also keeps its own payment and transaction rules for each plan.
- B2B included from the Basic plan
- One admin for retail and wholesale
- Payment terms and company accounts
- ✓B2B included in a $29 plan
- ✓No extra app to learn
- ✓Huge app ecosystem
- ✗Only 3 catalogs below Plus
- ✗Plus starts at $2,300 a month
- ✗Not on Starter or Retail plans
Start here if you are on Shopify and have up to three customer price groups. Past that, compare SparkLayer with the cost of Plus.
B2B Wave
B2B Wave is a standalone B2B ecommerce platform for distributors, wholesalers and manufacturers: a branded portal with customer price lists, quotes, PDF catalogs and a sales rep app for Android and iOS. It suits companies with thousands of products that need their catalog online for trade customers.
The entry plan lists $350 USD a month, with 50% off the first 3 months ($175). It includes unlimited orders, quotes and customers, 20,000 products, 10 users (admins and sales reps) and 20 customer price lists, with 0% platform transaction fees and daily backups. More products, users or price lists are sold as add-ons, and there is a 14-day free trial.
The limit: at $350 a month it costs several times what Orderspace or SparkLayer charge to start, so it only pays off with a large catalog or a sales team.
- Sales rep app for Android and iOS
- 20,000 products on the entry plan
- 0% platform transaction fees
- ✓Built for distributors and manufacturers
- ✓PDF catalogs and quotes
- ✓Many integrations
- ✗$350 a month after the promo
- ✗Add-ons for more users and products
- ✗Overkill for a small catalog
A solid choice for a distributor with a big catalog and reps in the field. A small supplier gets the same basics from Orderspace for far less.
OrderEase
OrderEase is a B2B ordering and order automation platform for suppliers: a customer portal, plus the capture of orders that arrive by EDI, PDF or email, pushed into your ERP or accounting software. Its site leans on retailer EDI connections and NetSuite or QuickBooks integrations.
Plans start at $500 a month, plus a setup fee. The price then depends on order volume or sales value, the channels orders come through, the systems you connect and how much automation you need. The starting price includes unlimited users and logins, order automation, a core dashboard and standard onboarding. For EDI, ERP connections or complex workflows, OrderEase quotes a fixed-price implementation package.
The limit: there's no free version or trial, only a product tour, and the setup fee comes on top of the monthly price.
- EDI, PDF and email orders in one place
- Unlimited users
- ERP-connected by design
- ✓Strong automation of incoming orders
- ✓Handles retailer EDI
- ✓Price built around your operation
- ✗From $500 a month plus setup
- ✗No free version or trial
- ✗Heavy for a simple catalog
The right tool when orders flood in from EDI and email and your ERP must stay in sync. If your customers just need a place to click and order, Orderspace or SparkLayer cost less.
JOOR
JOOR is a wholesale platform for fashion: a virtual showroom open 24/7, digital line sheets, an iPad app for in-person appointments, retailer prospecting and payments through JOOR Pay. JOOR presents itself as the fashion industry's leading B2B platform, with nearly $20 billion in transactions processed each year.
Three plans exist: Starter, built for smaller brands with under $1M in annual wholesale revenue, Pro with a dedicated customer success manager, and Enterprise. All three are sold through a Request Pricing form, so the cost comes after a demo. JOOR Pay payment processing carries a transaction fee on every plan, but JOOR says it takes no commission on orders and includes setup fees in the package.
The limit: it is built around fashion seasons and retailer networks, so a food or industrial supplier gets little from its showroom features.
- Virtual showroom and line sheets
- Network of retailers to prospect
- iPad app for appointments
- ✓Built for fashion wholesale
- ✓Retailers already use it
- ✓Payments built in
- ✗Price only after a demo
- ✗Transaction fee on JOOR Pay
- ✗Little use outside fashion
A strong fit for an apparel brand that sells to boutiques. Outside fashion, pick a general portal like Orderspace or B2B Wave.
NuORDER by Lightspeed
NuORDER, now part of Lightspeed, is a B2B commerce platform for brands and retail buyers. It gives brands a fully branded wholesale website that takes orders around the clock, with account-specific pricing, discounts and product selections, and gives retailers a place to build assortments. It targets everything from department stores to specialty and off-price retailers.
NuORDER sells through a demo rather than a published price grid. Its site advertises integrations with 120+ ERP, PLM and POS systems, and a services team with an onboarding specialist, an integration consultant and an integration engineer. Expect a sales process and an integration project rather than a sign-up form.
The limit: like JOOR, it is built for seasonal wholesale and retailer buying, not for a small supplier taking weekly reorders from local businesses.
- Branded wholesale website
- Account-specific pricing
- Retailer assortment tools
- ✓Sells to department stores and off-price
- ✓Part of Lightspeed
- ✓120+ ERP, PLM and POS integrations
- ✗Pricing after a demo
- ✗Sales process before you start
- ✗Built for fashion and lifestyle
Consider it if department stores are your main channel. Smaller brands can start the same week on SparkLayer, Brandboom or Orderspace, with prices on the site.
Brandboom
Brandboom lets small brands build product presentations and line sheets, share them with buyers and take wholesale orders, with buyer activity tracking and a quick order mobile app on higher plans. It also runs a marketplace where buyers find brands.
A free account lets you create products, build presentations and collect unlimited orders on the Brandboom marketplace, with limited ordering outside it. Basic costs $50 a month per user billed annually, for a single brand with 25 active products; Startup is $100 a month per user for 150 products and external reps; Business has a minimum spend of $500 a month for 12 months. The typical contract runs 12 months with monthly payments.
The limit: 25 products on Basic is tight, and per-user pricing adds up for a team.
- Free account with marketplace orders
- Presentations and line sheets
- Quick order mobile app
- ✓Easy to start
- ✓Good for showing a small collection
- ✓Buyer activity tracking
- ✗25 products on Basic
- ✗Per-user pricing
- ✗12-month contracts
Good for a young brand with a short collection. Once the catalog grows past 150 products, a portal with unlimited products such as Orderspace is better value.
Portal, store add-on or wholesale network
The tools on this page solve the same problem in three ways. Pick the kind first, the brand second.
Standalone ordering portals: Orderspace, B2B Wave, OrderEase
A separate trade site, no online store needed. Best when wholesale is your whole business. Orderspace starts at $65 a month, B2B Wave at $350, OrderEase at $500 plus setup.
Store add-ons: SparkLayer, Shopify B2B
Wholesale inside the store you already run, with one product catalog and one stock count. Best for brands that sell direct and wholesale. SparkLayer is free for 5 orders a month; Shopify B2B comes with the Basic plan.
Fashion wholesale networks: JOOR, NuORDER, Brandboom
Showrooms, line sheets and a network of retail buyers. Best for apparel and lifestyle brands that sell by season to boutiques and department stores.
The do-it-yourself route
On a very small budget, a WooCommerce plugin such as Wholesale Suite adds wholesale prices, B2B order forms, quotes and invoice payments inside your WooCommerce store. Another route is an online order form plus an automation tool such as n8n that creates the invoice in QuickBooks. Cheap, but you maintain it.
How to pick your B2B ordering platform
Four questions settle most choices.
Do you already have an online store?
If yes, keep one catalog: add SparkLayer, or use Shopify B2B if three price groups are enough. If no, a standalone portal such as Orderspace avoids building a store just to take trade orders. Our rankings of B2B ecommerce for wholesalers and for distributors go further on full stores, and our ranking of automation platforms helps if you want to connect the orders to the rest of your tools.
How many orders and products?
Order caps decide the bill on SparkLayer (50 orders a month on Starter). Product caps decide it on Brandboom (25 products on Basic) and B2B Wave (20,000). Orderspace has unlimited orders, customers and products on every plan, so its price only moves with your team.
Who places the orders?
If customers order alone, any portal works. If reps take orders on the road, check sales rep seats: none on Orderspace's $65 plan, 1 included on SparkLayer Starter, 10 users on B2B Wave. If orders come by EDI, PDF or email, OrderEase is built for that.
Where does the order go next?
The real time saver is the invoice. Check that the platform writes into your accounting tool: SparkLayer has Xero and QuickBooks on Pro, Orderspace and B2B Wave have built-in integrations and an API, OrderEase connects to ERPs. A CRM can then track reorders, and our pages on form builders and CRMs for small businesses cover the cheapest way to start.
Pay less and avoid the traps
What the pricing pages say in small print.
Read B2B Wave's promo price as a promo
B2B Wave shows $175 a month, but that is 50% off for the first 3 months. Budget $350, or $4,200 a year.
Ask OrderEase for the setup fee in writing
OrderEase starts at $500 a month plus a setup fee that depends on your configuration, quoted as a fixed package for EDI or ERP work. Compare the first-year total, not the monthly price.
Count your reps before you pick a plan
On SparkLayer, each extra sales rep costs $39, on top of the 1 rep included on Starter, 2 on Growth and 5 on Pro. On Orderspace, reps come with the plan: up to 10 on Sales Team at $125. With six reps, do the maths on both before choosing.
Try Shopify's native B2B before buying an app
Shopify B2B is included from the Basic plan, with up to 3 catalogs. If your customers fit in three price groups, you may not need anything else.
Check the contract length
Brandboom's typical contract is 12 months with monthly payments, and its Business plan has a $500 monthly minimum for 12 months. Orderspace lets you upgrade, downgrade or cancel at any time.
B2B ordering platforms · FAQ
What is a B2B ordering platform?
It is a website or portal where your business customers log in, see their own prices, minimums and payment terms, and place wholesale orders online. The orders go straight to you, often into your accounting or ERP system, instead of arriving by email or phone.
How much does a B2B ordering platform cost?
From free to several thousand dollars a month. SparkLayer has a free plan for 5 orders a month, Shopify B2B starts with the $29 Basic plan billed yearly, Orderspace costs $65 a month, B2B Wave $350, OrderEase from $500 plus setup, and JOOR and NuORDER quote after a demo.
Is there a cheap B2B ordering system for a small business?
Yes. Shopify's native B2B from $29 a month billed yearly, SparkLayer's free plan and Orderspace at $65 a month are the cheapest ready-made options. Below that, a WooCommerce plugin or a form plus an automation tool works, but you build and maintain it yourself.
Can customers pay by invoice on a B2B ordering platform?
Yes, on most of them. Payment terms (net 30 and similar) come with Shopify B2B on every B2B plan, with SparkLayer, and with Orderspace, which generates invoices with your payment terms and takes payment by Stripe or PayPal. Check that the platform sends the invoice to your accounting tool, such as QuickBooks or Xero, so nobody retypes it. Our ranking of ecommerce accounting software covers that side.
Does Shopify do B2B wholesale?
Yes. Shopify B2B is available on the Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus plans, but not on Starter or Retail. Basic, Grow and Advanced include up to 3 B2B catalogs, assigned to B2B markets, with net payment terms and quantity rules; Plus, from $2,300 a month, has unlimited catalogs and catalogs assigned to a single company.
Is Faire a B2B ordering platform?
Not in the same sense. Faire is a wholesale marketplace where retailers discover brands and the platform takes a commission on orders. A B2B ordering platform is your own portal for customers you already have, at a fixed monthly price.
What is the difference between a B2B ordering platform and an ERP?
The ERP runs your stock, purchasing and accounting; the ordering platform is the front door where customers place orders. Most suppliers keep their ERP and connect an ordering portal to it, which is what OrderEase and NuORDER advertise with their ERP integrations.
