B2B corporate accounts (multi-employee + payroll-deduction + Net-30), feasible on Magento?
Yes, this is the highest-leverage feature for safety + PPE distribution. Three pieces:
- Multi-employee provisioning, one parent company (e.g. ABC General Contractors) with 200+ field-crew sub-buyers. Adobe Commerce native B2B Companies module handles this; Open Source ships it via Aheadworks B2B Suite / Amasty Company Accounts / Magenest B2B (~$800, $2,500 one-time). Each sub-buyer has a spending limit + restricted catalog visibility.
- Payroll-deduction PPE allowances, e.g. $150/year per worker auto-debited from paycheck, redeemable on a curated PPE catalog. Custom Magento module: per-employee allowance ledger, transaction log, expiration policy (use-it-or-lose-it vs. roll-over). Construction GCs + manufacturing plants love this, OSHA requires the employer to provide PPE, but employer-subsidised allowances cut admin overhead.
- Net-30 invoicing via TreviPay / Apruve / Resolve, they underwrite the credit, pay you on day 1, customer pays them on day 30. Approval rate ~70-85% on legitimate corporate buyers. Native Magento integrations exist for all three; I default to TreviPay for B2B distributors above $5M.
The same SKU pool serves walk-in retail + corporate; customer-group price rules + hidden categories + restricted catalogs separate the two flows. An electrician at a corporate account sees arc-rated gloves only; the same SKU shows on the retail site at full markup. Same Magento, two completely different shopping experiences.
