WooCommerce B2B By Code4lifeitalia 4.0.4

The "WooCommerce B2B" plugin developed by Code4lifeitalia (also often listed on CodeCanyon) is a comprehensive solution designed to transform a standard WooCommerce store into a B2B, wholesale, or hybrid B2B/B2C e-commerce platform.

It is an all-in-one extension that adds the essential features required for business-to-business transactions, which go beyond the basic retail functionality of WooCommerce.

Core Functionality and Key Features

The plugin's features are primarily organized around customer groups and role-based rules, allowing store owners to offer a personalized experience to different types of buyers (e.g., wholesalers, resellers, or general consumers).

1. Role-Based Pricing and Discounts

Dedicated Price Lists: Assign different prices to products for specific customer groups.

Tiered/Quantity Pricing: Offer discounted prices based on the quantity purchased (volume discounts) for individual products and specific groups.

Global Discounts: Apply a percentage discount on all products for a specific customer group.

Tax Control: Display prices inclusive or exclusive of tax based on the customer group.

VAT/Tax Exemption: Functionality to handle VAT registration and apply tax exemptions for B2B customers.

2. Catalog Visibility and Access Control

Hide Prices/Catalog Mode: Hide product prices and the "Add to Cart" button from unregistered users or specific customer groups, effectively turning the shop into a catalog.

Product Visibility: Show or hide specific products, categories, or even the entire website based on the customer's group or login status.

Registration Management: Extended and dedicated registration forms for B2B accounts, often including custom fields for business information and a manual approval process for new registrations.

3. Quotation System and Ordering

Request a Quote: Replace the "Add to Cart" button with a "Request a Quote" button for specific products or groups, allowing customers to build a quote basket.

Quote Management: The admin can manage and modify the submitted quotes, convert them into an order, and notify the customer of the final offer.

Quick/Bulk Orders: Allows B2B customers to place large orders rapidly, sometimes via a simplified bulk order form or CSV upload.

4. Checkout and Restrictions

Payment/Shipping Restriction: Restrict available payment methods and shipping methods based on the customer's group (e.g., allowing an "Invoice Payment" or "Purchase Order" only for approved B2B clients).

Order Limits: Set minimum or maximum order quantities and minimum purchase amounts required for each customer group to complete a purchase.

HPOS Compatibility: It's designed to be compatible with WooCommerce's High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) for improved performance.

Licensing and Updates

The plugin is often noted for its licensing model, which typically features a one-time payment for a lifetime license and free lifetime updates, a significant difference from many other WooCommerce extensions that require annual renewals. It is available for purchase on marketplaces like CodeCanyon.

Reviews and Reputation

Customer reviews frequently highlight its extensive feature set, flexibility, and, most notably, the quality and responsiveness of the customer support provided by the Code4lifeitalia team.
