Most wholesale businesses did not start online. Orders came through phone calls, WhatsApp messages or printed forms given to sales reps. This worked until it did not.

Now, as distributors and brands move to digitize their wholesale ordering software, the question is no longer whether to go online. It is which platform can handle B2B commerce: large orders, custom pricing, buyer-specific terms, multi-location fulfillment and relationships that take time to build.

Two platforms often come up: Shopify B2B, part of Shopify Plus and Fynd B2B, a wholesale commerce platform from Fynd. Both can run a B2B storefront, but how they do it and what is behind the storefront are quite different.

This blog explains what each B2B e-commerce platform India offers, how they differ and which fits wholesale businesses better.

A quick look at both platforms

Fynd B2B is an AI-powered B2B commerce platform for brands, distributors and manufacturers wanting to digitize ordering. It is part of the larger Fynd system, connecting order management, warehouse operations, logistics, and POS on one platform.

Shopify B2B is Shopify’s wholesale solution through Shopify Plus. It builds on Shopify’s D2C system to support B2B needs like company profiles, custom pricing, payment terms, and draft orders. Teams can manage both D2C and B2B from one admin.

The B2B wholesale market: Why platforms matter now

The global business-to-business e-commerce market size was estimated at USD 24.08 trillion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 105.85 trillion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 20.9% from 2026 to 2033, according to the Grand View Research report. In India, wholesale businesses are shifting to digital ordering to reduce reliance on field sales and meet buyer expectations for smooth online ordering like consumer platforms.

This shift changes what businesses want in wholesale software. Fast catalog search, real-time stock updates, instant quotes, and flexible payment terms are now basic needs, not extras.

What makes Fynd B2B different: End-to-end wholesale operations

Most B2B platforms focus only on ordering. They help build a storefront, set prices and take orders. What happens after warehouse work, logistics, or physical stores usually needs other tools.

Fynd B2B is part of a bigger platform that manages all of this.

B2B storefront with D2C-grade buying experience

Fynd B2B offers a storefront made for bulk buying but designed to be clean and easy to use, like a D2C site. AI helps create product listings quickly, even for many SKUs.

Primary and secondary sales - all under one roof

Fynd B2B supports both B2B2C and B2B2B models, giving brands a full view of primary sales (brand to distributor) and secondary sales (distributor to retailer or consumer) on one platform. For businesses with distribution networks, this means no need to switch between systems to track sales at each stage.

Order, warehouse and delivery management - all connected

Fynd combines three key systems often managed separately:

  • OMS: All orders come into one place with automatic allocation and tracking.

  • WMS: Inventory is tracked live across locations, with built-in workflows and restock alerts.

  • TMS: Delivery routes are automated, riders assigned directly, and customers get live tracking.

For distributors managing many buyers across regions, having these connected without extra integrations makes operations simpler.

Credit and flexible payment terms

Fynd B2B storefront supports offline payments, COD rules by buyer or location and credit payments through third-party lenders. This fits how wholesale payments usually work in India, with bank transfers, credit lines, and delayed payments common.

Industry-specific use cases built in

Fynd B2B is designed for specific wholesale and distribution needs, including:

  • Wholesale and bulk ordering with minimum order controls

  • B2B marketplaces for multiple sellers

  • Manufacturing and made-to-order with product options

  • Subscription and recurring orders with auto-scheduling

  • Procurement and supply with RFQ and contract workflows

  • Distribution networks with regional allocation and tiered pricing

These features come ready to use, not built from scratch.

The real question for wholesale distribution software India

Choosing between the two depends on your business needs.

If you already use Shopify for D2C, work with global buyers, or need deep ERP integrations, Shopify B2B on Shopify Plus makes sense. You build on what you have, with flexibility for custom setups.

But if you are a brand, distributor or manufacturer in India wanting to digitize wholesale fully from catalog to logistics. Fynd's B2B storefront is made for that complete process. The difference is not just the storefront but that all operations run on one platform, not separate tools.

Both platforms can support B2B ordering. The choice is how much you want to build yourself versus have ready from the start.
