Enjoy a Sage 500 Integration for B2B eCommerce

June 22, 2021

If you’re looking for a good B2B eCommerce platform, you may have found a lot of conflicting information online. You might have done Google searches for terms like “Shopify for B2B,” “BigCommerce B2B,” or “Magento B2B.” You might have even done searches like “what is sage mas 500?” or “what is sage 500?” in hopes that they might lead you to an eCommerce platform that integrates with Sage.

You may have read that Magento isn’t meant for B2B, and that other platforms like WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or Shopify are a better fit for B2B eCommerce.  However, people who say that Magento isn’t a good fit for B2B eCommerce are simply wrong.

Some of Magento’s features make it uniquely suited for a B2B eCommerce environment. Even better, with the right integration, your B2B eCommerce website will speak directly with your ERP to create a better customer experience and streamline the ordering process.

How Does it Work?

One of Magento’s biggest assets is its versatility. While it may require more investment on the development side, that investment yields dividends in the form of Magento’s customizability. With Magento, you aren’t limited to pre-built templates or pages. You can build your Magento webstore into anything you want it to be.

In addition, Magento can accommodate any number of product listings. You won’t encounter an upper ceiling when it comes to have many products you can list on your site. That’s particularly good for B2B, since you may need to provide different inventory for different clients and set up custom B2B partner portals.

The Benefits of Sage 500 B2B eCommerce

Now let’s talk about Sage 500 B2B eCommerce, specifically a Magento 2 extension for Sage 500. With Magento on the eCommerce side, Sage mas 500 on the ERP side, and the right ERP eCommerce extension, you can provide the best eCommerce experience for your customers.

Here’s how it works.

With our Sage 500 Magento integration, data syncs both ways. As an example, information like Product, Pricing, and Inventory data stored in your ERP will flow into your Magento webstore. New orders and address changes from your webstore will flow into your ERP. In addition, our Sage 500 extension allows businesses to create customer-specific pricing or inventory. B2B clients often negotiate special pricing or may be subject to different regulatory requirements, which can make placing orders tricky. With our ERP eCommerce integration, customers can bypass the line and order directly from a customer B2B web portal.
