After scoping 14 B2B builds across Magento, Shopify Plus, and BigCommerce in the last 18 months, the platform comparison is no longer a tribal flame war — it is segmentable. Magento Commerce B2B crushes the alternatives on multi-buyer company accounts, complex quote-to-order workflows, and hybrid B2C-B2B checkouts. It loses, badly, on low-touch self-serve signup, headless mobile apps, and small distributors under $500k GMV. This article walks each segment with real module names, real pricing, and a decision matrix you can hand to a merchant.
Conditional checkout fields are the rule set that says "only show field A when condition B is true" — and they look identical on Luma and Hyvä until you try to ship one. This is the production recipe for three real rules on both stacks: a Knockout subscribe on Luma, a Magewire $reactive plus Alpine x-show on Hyvä, plus the quote_extension_attributes wiring that keeps the value alive across page reload and 3DS redirect. The three rules ship together in roughly 38 hours on Magento 2.4.4 — 2.4.9 with Hyvä Checkout 1.1+.
