One order system, 3 entry paths
Let each order start in the channel that fits the buyer
A portal does not have to force every customer into one behaviour. Repeat buyers, new buyers and staff-assisted orders can enter differently while reaching the same supplier order workflow.
New or public buyers
Workspace link
A shared public link uses workspace pricing and holds new buyer details for admin review.

Staff order entry
Sales staff choose a customer and enter the order in keyboard-first Excel or visual POS mode.

The supplier side
The portal is only half the product
Buyers need a short path to order. Your team needs the records and controls behind it. Orderverse joins both sides without making customers navigate the internal workspace.
- 01
Customers
Customer records, price groups, order links, access controls and activity.
- 02
Products
One catalogue with selling units, categories, availability and price groups.
- 03
Orders
Buyer and staff orders in a structured grid, ready for review and confirmation.
- 04
Invoices
Local invoices, payment state and optional accounting integration status.
Live product screens
Four workspaces, one order record
These are actual Orderverse screens. Customer context and catalogue settings feed the order, then the same order moves through review and invoicing.
Choose by operating model
Portal, ecommerce store or downloadable form?
These tools solve different problems. The right choice depends on whether you serve known repeat accounts, acquire public shoppers or maintain a simple offline process.

What is a B2B ordering portal?
A B2B ordering portal is a browser-based ordering channel for trade customers. It combines a buyer-facing catalogue and checkout with a supplier workspace for customer records, products, prices and order processing.
Do wholesale customers need an account?
Not in the default Orderverse setup. A buyer opens a customer or workspace link and continues from a short welcome screen without creating a username or password. Strict Security Mode can add email verification when stronger identity assurance is required.
Can every customer see different prices?
Yes. Assign a customer to a price group and their customer link resolves to that group's prices. Blank price-group values fall back to the product default, and buyers do not see another customer's price or order history.
Can staff enter phone orders too?
Yes. Sales staff can select the customer and create an order using Excel Mode for keyboard-first or pasted SKU entry, or POS Mode for visual and touch-based entry. The resulting order enters the same order-management workflow.
Does Orderverse replace an accounting system?
No. Orderverse manages wholesale ordering, order review and local invoicing. You can use it without an accounting connection or connect Xero to import master data and send eligible local invoices as Xero drafts.
