What is hybrid B2B + B2C eCommerce?

Hybrid B2B + B2C eCommerce is a single platform that supports two buyer experiences — consumer retail shopping and account-based wholesale purchasing — using shared catalog, inventory, and operations, while enforcing segmented pricing, terms, and checkout paths.

How do you prevent channel conflict between retail and wholesale?

Hybrid works when rules are intentional. WSM supports account-aware experiences so wholesale buyers see their pricing, terms, and policies, while retail shoppers see consumer pricing and promos — reducing pricing leakage and helping protect dealer relationships.

Can you support dealer pricing, net terms, and PO-style purchasing?

Yes. Hybrid commerce often requires account-based pricing, net terms, and PO-style checkout workflows. WSM can support buyer-specific checkout paths so wholesale purchasing feels natural without forcing you to run a separate storefront.

Can retail promotions run without breaking wholesale pricing rules?

Yes. Hybrid merchandising can allow retail promos and incentives while maintaining wholesale governance. The key is segment-aware rules so promotions apply where intended and don't create channel conflict.

How do reorders work for both consumer and wholesale buyers?

WSM can support repeat buying for both motions: retail shoppers benefit from order history and saved context, while wholesale buyers often need fast reordering, quick-order workflows, and part-number buying that reduces friction for high-intent purchases.

Does hybrid still support fitment-aware shopping and catalog accuracy?

Yes. Hybrid is strongest when it shares one source of truth for product data. WSM supports applying fitment context and clean catalog signals across browsing, search, and product pages to help reduce wrong-part orders and returns.

Can fulfillment and returns policies differ by buyer type?

Yes. Many businesses need channel-specific rules — different shipping methods, thresholds, and return policies for retail vs. wholesale. WSM can support buyer-type policy logic to keep operations predictable while meeting different expectations.

Where can I see the detailed capabilities for each motion?
