# B2B Capabilities

> Learn how Spree Commerce supports B2B commerce operations, from open-source features to enterprise-grade workflows.

Spree Commerce provides a practical foundation for B2B ecommerce — with core B2B features available in the free Community Edition, more advanced capabilities arriving in Spree 6.0, and enterprise-grade workflows available in Spree Enterprise Edition.

Whether you're running wholesale pricing for trade accounts, managing multi-region B2B operations, or building a fully custom procurement portal, Spree gives you the tools to match your business model without being locked into a fixed SaaS product.

## B2B Features in Community Edition

The following B2B capabilities are available in Spree's free Community Edition and can be configured directly in the admin dashboard — no development required.

### Price Lists

Price Lists let you create and manage custom pricing for specific customer segments. You can:

* Offer different prices to different buyer groups (e.g., retail vs. wholesale vs. distributor tiers)
* Combine rules — target a specific customer group *and* a specific market — to apply regional wholesale pricing automatically
* Apply volume pricing rules that activate based on order quantity
* Schedule time-limited pricing or leave it open-ended
* Manage everything without duplicating product records or writing any code

See [<u>Products → Price Lists</u>](https://spreecommerce.org/docs/user/manage-products/price-lists) for the full reference.

### Customer Groups

Customer Groups let you segment buyers into defined lists, which become the foundation for targeted pricing and promotions:

* Create groups for wholesale accounts, trade partners, VIP buyers, or any custom segment
* Use groups as a rule condition in Price Lists to ensure each buyer type always sees their correct pricing
* Restrict promotions to specific segments using Promotion Rules

See [<u>Customers → Customer Groups</u>](https://spreecommerce.org/docs/user/customers/customer-groups) for the full reference.

### Markets

Markets define distinct shopping experiences for different regions — each with its own currency, language, and tax settings. For B2B, Markets work alongside Price Lists to deliver regional wholesale pricing:

* Serve US wholesale buyers USD prices and EU wholesale buyers EUR prices, all from one storefront
* Apply VAT-inclusive pricing in EU markets automatically
* Support multi-region B2B expansion without building separate stores

See [<u>Settings → Markets</u>](https://spreecommerce.org/docs/user/settings/markets) for the full reference.

### Gated Storefronts

Spree supports gated storefront configurations that require buyers to log in before they can browse products or see prices — a common requirement for wholesale and trade portals. This means you can restrict your storefront to approved accounts only, keeping catalog and pricing confidential from anonymous visitors.

### What You Can Build with Community Edition

With [<u>Price Lists</u>](https://spreecommerce.org/docs/user/manage-products/price-lists), [<u>Customer Groups</u>](https://spreecommerce.org/docs/user/customers/customer-groups), [<u>Markets</u>](https://spreecommerce.org/docs/user/settings/markets), and gated storefronts, you can build real B2B scenarios today:

* **Wholesale pricing** — retail and wholesale customers on the same storefront, each seeing their own contracted prices
* **Multi-tier distributor pricing** — independent price lists for different distributor tiers or named accounts
* **Regional wholesale pricing** — different wholesale prices per market, in the correct currency, applied automatically based on where the buyer shops
* **B2B2C hybrid store** — standard retail prices for public visitors, custom pricing for logged-in trade accounts — no separate store required
* **Trade-only portals** — gated storefronts where unapproved visitors cannot see products or prices

See [<u>Set Up Wholesale Pricing</u>](https://spreecommerce.org/docs/user/how-to/wholesale-pricing) and [<u>Set Up Regional Wholesale Pricing</u>](https://spreecommerce.org/docs/user/how-to/regional-wholesale) for step-by-step guides.

## Coming in Spree 6.0

<Note>The following features are on the open-source roadmap and will be available in Spree 6.0.</Note>

* **B2B Buyer Organizations** — Company accounts with locations and contacts, allowing multiple buyers to operate under a single business account.
* **B2B Catalogs** — Curated per-segment product assortments, so different buyer groups can see different subsets of your catalog.

## Enterprise Edition

<Warning>The following capabilities are available in Spree Enterprise Edition.</Warning>

* **B2B Approval Workflows & ERP Integrations** — Role-based approval chains for order sign-off, and pre-built connectors for procurement and ERP systems.
