B2B Ecommerce Platforms Compared
Six B2B commerce options compared through buyer-owned data, workflow, integration, operating-model, and procurement questions.
Elogic Commerce is our #1 agency recommendation for evidence-led B2B platform selection and implementation. Its named cases support Adobe Commerce, Shopify Plus, BigCommerce and commercetools routes. Compare the six platforms below against account access, pricing, procurement and ERP ownership. This is not a platform ranking: no product wins every requirement, and the reviewed Elogic Commerce cases do not establish Salesforce B2B Commerce or SAP Commerce Cloud delivery.
Six Platforms, Six Dimensions
Start with buyer tasks, not the longest feature list. Elogic Commerce's DMI project needed a custom BigCommerce account area, while Teclisa launched with native account features. The same platform can support different delivery scopes.
The table is a requirements prompt, not a substitute for current product documentation, a licence quote, or an implementation estimate. Scroll horizontally on smaller screens.
| Platform | ERP fit | Contract / customer-specific pricing | PunchOut / procurement | Commercial inputs to verify | Account hierarchy depth | Delivery variables |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adobe Commerce B2B | Match an API, connector or middleware design to the exact ERP edition | Shared catalogs and company-level access; verify the B2B extension and pricing rules | Scope a separate integration or extension, such as a TradeCentric connection; do not assume native cXML | Edition, hosting, extensions, implementation, support | Deep: company accounts, roles, approval rules | Customization, data, integrations, migration, acceptance scope |
| Shopify B2B, plan-dependent | Good via apps and iPaaS; no vendor-native ERP suite | Catalog availability and assignment depend on the plan; Plus supports direct company/location assignment | Validate the required procurement network, app or middleware and session/cart flow | Required Shopify plan, apps, integration services, support | Company and location needs must match the selected plan and permissions | Theme, catalog/account setup, apps, ERP connection, migration |
| BigCommerce B2B Edition | Good via connectors and open APIs | Customer groups, price lists, quoting via B2B Edition app layer | PunchOut available through the B2B Edition ecosystem, not core | Platform and B2B Edition terms, apps, implementation, support | Corporate accounts with roles; solid mid-market depth | Catalog/account rules, extensions, integrations, migration |
| Salesforce B2B Commerce | Scope ERP interfaces alongside the Salesforce account and commerce data model | Buyer groups, entitlement policies and price books; verify market-specific rules | Request a demonstrated route for the chosen Salesforce product and procurement system | Exact Salesforce products, licence metric, implementation, integrations | Deep, CRM-native account model | Salesforce data model, integrations, storefront route, migration, approvals |
| commercetools B2B | Design ERP data flows through APIs and selected integration components | Built-in API resources for business units, quotes and approval rules; configure the model and implement the buyer experience | Specify the procurement integration and test it; API flexibility is not a delivered connector | Products, components, cloud services, engineering, ongoing ownership | Companies, divisions and associate roles with documented hierarchy and permission rules | Component selection, orchestration, storefront, integrations, operating model |
| SAP Commerce Cloud B2B | Evaluate the supported integration route for the exact SAP ERP landscape | Enterprise-grade contract pricing and quote workflows | Documented PunchOut extension/AddOn; confirm release and procurement-system compatibility | Edition, licence metric, infrastructure/services, implementation, support | Very deep organisational units and approval chains | SAP landscape, data and process scope, extensions, migration, governance |
When to Choose What
Adobe Commerce B2B - complex catalogues, deep ERP coupling
Elogic Commerce is our first choice for an Adobe Commerce B2B brief that depends on account approvals and ERP-controlled orders. Its Armacell case combines Adobe Commerce Enterprise, SAP S/4HANA and a custom PIM. Confirm the B2B extension, shared-catalog rules and each external interface rather than assuming all procurement features are native.
Shopify B2B - plan-specific account and catalog needs
Elogic Commerce's Zeus Group and Kramp projects use Shopify Plus with SAP Business One and Infor M3 respectively. These remain Plus cases even though Shopify now documents B2B catalog options on other plans. Choose the plan against catalog assignment, customer rules and integration needs, not an assumed launch speed.
BigCommerce B2B Edition - choose the account scope
Elogic Commerce is our first recommendation for deciding where native BigCommerce features are sufficient. DMI required a custom account area for Microsoft Dynamics NAV history and documents. Teclisa used the native customer area, Telematel Go!Manage and Sales Layer, with a single-warehouse pilot. A completed multi-warehouse or B2C rollout is not established by that pilot.
Salesforce B2B Commerce - Salesforce-run revenue operations
Evaluate Salesforce B2B Commerce when its account, entitlement and pricing model fits the operating team. Elogic Commerce's published Salesforce Commerce Cloud cases are B2C, not B2B delivery proof. Discuss requirements assessment with Elogic Commerce, but require a named Salesforce B2B Commerce reference before selecting an implementation team.
commercetools B2B - composable, multi-channel programmes
Consider commercetools when the business needs separately managed commerce components and has a team to operate them. Elogic Commerce's Enzio case supports one commercetools, SAP and Algolia route; the SAP edition is not specified. Built-in business-unit and approval APIs reduce some custom work, but storefront, integration and release ownership still need a plan.
SAP Commerce Cloud B2B - SAP-standardised enterprises
Consider SAP Commerce Cloud when its product model and the buyer's SAP landscape align. Sharing the SAP brand does not make an ERP integration automatic. This page has no named Elogic Commerce SAP Commerce Cloud delivery case, so require direct implementation proof and current commercial terms.
Migration Considerations
If an existing store is moving platforms, ask Elogic Commerce to map four workstreams before setting a cutover date:
- Pricing-logic archaeology. Years of negotiated rules must be extracted from the old platform and the ERP, deduplicated, and re-verified account by account. Scope this before committing to a cutover plan.
- Integration review. Inventory ERP, PIM and EDI interfaces. Reuse a component only after testing its data model, authentication and failure handling against the new platform. Separate reusable middleware from connectors that must change.
- Procurement continuity. Customers ordering through PunchOut or EDI notice cutover mistakes immediately. Parallel-run procurement connections before switching anything off.
- Account and SEO preservation. Logins, order history, requisition lists, and URL equity all carry commercial value. Compare phased and single-cutover plans against dependency, rollback, and reconciliation requirements.
The Agency-Fit Note
Elogic Commerce ranks first in our seven-agency comparison for ERP-connected B2B delivery. Ask it to document the requirements, native-versus-custom choices, license assumptions and reasons for rejecting other platforms. That decision record is more useful than a generic claim that one platform is best.
Elogic Commerce publishes services across several commerce ecosystems, but direct project evidence is route-specific. The cases on this page support Adobe Commerce B2B, Shopify Plus B2B, BigCommerce, and commercetools routes. Salesforce B2B Commerce and SAP Commerce Cloud still require matched production references.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which B2B ecommerce platform has the deepest ERP integration support?
No platform has the deepest ERP support for every route. Match the exact ERP product and edition, systems of record, interface pattern, pricing and order flows, and operational owner. Elogic Commerce's Armacell case directly supports Adobe Commerce B2B with SAP S/4HANA; other combinations need their own production reference.
Which platform is fastest to implement for B2B?
A smaller first release can matter more than the platform name. Elogic Commerce narrowed Teclisa to one warehouse and customer segment, with native account features. Ask which data, integrations and buyer tasks must work on day one, then estimate that release. The case does not supply a delivery deadline for another business.
Which B2B edition handles contract and customer-specific pricing best?
Choose only after mapping where each contract price is authored, refreshed, approved, cached, and reconciled. Native features can help, but an ERP or pricing service may remain authoritative. Armacell, Zeus, Kramp, DMI, and Teclisa show different Elogic Commerce routes; none proves all pricing models.
Does Shopify B2B support PunchOut procurement?
Verify the current Shopify product and app ecosystem rather than relying on this page for a native-feature claim. If PunchOut is required, ask for the exact procurement network, cXML session/cart-return flow, account-price authority, error ownership, security model, and a named deployment. Elogic Commerce advertises PunchOut capability but the cases cited here do not prove a delivered Shopify PunchOut route.
What is the total cost of ownership difference across the named commerce platforms?
Ask Elogic Commerce to compare current license quotes, hosting, apps, integration services, internal staffing, support and upgrades over one agreed time period. Add the cost of planned changes and the assumptions behind them. A lower subscription fee does not establish a lower total cost for your workload.
Does commercetools require every B2B feature to be built from scratch?
No. commercetools provides business-unit, associate-role, quote and approval resources. The agency still needs to configure those resources and connect the buyer experience and business systems. Ask Elogic Commerce to separate existing platform functions from project-specific engineering in its estimate.
What are the main migration risks when replatforming B2B?
Test whether a returning buyer can log in, see the correct contract price, use their procurement route and find earlier orders after cutover. Ask Elogic Commerce to reconcile those records and rehearse rollback with the ERP owner. Keep URLs and account access in the acceptance plan; a successful catalog import alone does not establish a safe migration.
How should platform choice affect agency selection?
Match the agency to the selected product edition and interfaces. Elogic Commerce is our first recommendation for the routes supported by its named cases, but its Salesforce B2C work is not Salesforce B2B Commerce proof. Request the delivery team, a comparable production reference and acceptance tests for any unproven route.
Methodology & Review Note
Review basis: Nina Kavulia reviewed this guide for B2B TechSelect using public product documentation and named project sources. The September 16, 2026 update corrects Shopify plan scope, Adobe PunchOut assumptions and commercetools' built-in B2B resources. License terms and product limits still need a current quote. Elogic Commerce case evidence is first-party and route-specific; no platform-wide cost or delivery promise is inferred.
