Prices can drop at quantities you set, and a list can run between two dates, for a scheme. | | Dealers ordering coils and boxes by product code | **Order by product code or spreadsheet.** Dealers type product codes and quantities, paste them from a spreadsheet, or upload the spreadsheet itself, up to 500 lines at a time. Lines that cannot be added come back with their row number and the reason, such as too little stock. | | Wattage, size, colour and pole variants | **Sizes, colours and product codes.** Products have options and variants, such as size, colour or wattage, each with its own product code, price and stock. Dealers can search the portal’s catalogue by name or product code. | | No order past a dealer’s credit | **Credit limits that stop an order.** Each dealer has a credit limit. At checkout, what they already owe plus the new order’s final total is checked against it, and an order over the limit is refused before it exists, with the amount still available shown. Two orders placed at the same moment cannot both slip under one limit. | | 30 or 45 days to pay | **Orders on account.** A dealer with an account orders now and pays later. The order is confirmed straight away with a due date, say 30 days out, and the amount counts against their limit until you mark the order paid. | | Fewer calls about outstanding amounts | **Statements and overdue amounts.** A statement for any period: what was owed at the start, every order and payment, and what is owed at the end, with unpaid money split into not yet due, 1–30, 31–60, 61–90 and over 90 days late. You see every dealer’s; a dealer’s owner sees their own, and either can download it as a spreadsheet. | | Special prices for a contractor’s or builder’s order | **Quotes.** A dealer asks for a price on a quantity. Your team prices each line, adds a note and an expiry date, and sends it. When the dealer accepts, the order is placed at exactly those prices. | | The counter clerk orders, the owner approves | **The owner approves big orders.** Set an amount per dealer. When a dealer’s staff member orders above it, the order waits, and the dealer’s owner or approver is emailed to approve or reject it. Approved orders go through at the prices the approver saw. | | Fan and lighting enquiries sent to a local dealer | **Dealer territories.** Give each dealer a territory: a country, a state or a PIN code prefix. An enquiry from a customer on your website goes to the dealer whose territory fits best, and that dealer is emailed and follows it up in the portal. You see every enquiry and can reassign it. | | Stock in regional warehouses | **Stock in several warehouses.** Hold stock in more than one warehouse or godown. Each order line records which one it was taken from. | | GST tax invoices with HSN codes | **GST tax invoices.** A store in India with a valid GSTIN that sells in rupees issues a GST tax invoice for every paid order, numbered by financial year. It carries your GSTIN and the dealer’s, HSN codes and the place of supply, with CGST and SGST within a state and IGST between states, all from what checkout charged. A product can have its own tax rate, so mixed rates come out right. Delivery is printed without GST, because checkout does not charge GST on it. Your team opens and prints invoices in the admin; dealers do not see them in the portal. | ### What your dealers see Screens from the portal itself, with a made-up demo dealer and sample products. ![The quick order screen with four product codes and quantities entered and an Add to basket button](https://kitcommerce.store/assets/portal/quick-order.webp) **Quick order.** Product codes and quantities typed or pasted from a spreadsheet, ready to go into the basket at the dealer’s own prices. ### Why now, for a regional brand The largest electrical brands give their trade apps of their own. Havells’ RetailOne app lets retailers scan and order, reorder in one tap and see their purchase history, and Polycab’s Pconnect app shows its distributors pending, outstanding and paid invoices. A regional brand can give its dealers the same core, ordering, credit and statements, without building an app. The portal runs in a phone’s browser on your own web address. ### What it does not do yet What an electrical brand will ask about that is not there yet. #### No e-invoices, e-way bills or credit notes The GST tax invoice has no IRN or signed QR code, and no e-way bill is made: both need an account with a GST Suvidha Provider or the Invoice Registration Portal. A supplier whose turnover has passed ₹5 crore in any year since 2017-18 must e-invoice its sales to registered businesses, and still needs its billing software for that. A return or refund issues no GST credit note, and an order on account gets its tax invoice only when you mark it paid, not when it ships. #### Tally files not yet tried in TallyPrime Tax invoices download as TallyPrime import files that follow Tally’s published format, but they have not yet been test-imported into TallyPrime itself. Someone downloads the files and imports them: nothing flows into Tally by itself. Other accounting systems get spreadsheets of orders, customers and statements, or the webhooks and API. #### No minimum order or pack sizes You cannot yet require a minimum quantity, or sell only in boxes or cases of a fixed size. Price breaks at a quantity do work.Selling cable only in full coils, or switches only in boxes of 20, has to be done by listing the coil or the box as the product. #### Sales staff cannot order on a dealer’s credit Your team can take an order over the phone at the dealer’s prices, but it cannot be placed on the dealer’s credit account. There is no salesperson role or beat plan. #### No WhatsApp ordering or alerts Dealers cannot order over WhatsApp, and approvals, quotes and statements are sent by email. Order status texts to customers go by SMS through the MSG91 module. #### No store runs it in production yet GoCommerce has over 2,000 tests, but no store we know of runs it in production yet. You would be among the first, and the team behind it can set it up with you. FAQ ### Common questions **Can distributors and dealers see different prices?** Yes. Put them in different groups, such as distributors and A-category dealers, and give each group a price list. Prices can fall at quantities you set, for example from 10 coils or 50 MCBs. **Can a dealer order 40 product codes at once?** Yes. They type or paste product codes and quantities, or upload a spreadsheet of up to 500 lines. Codes that cannot be ordered come back with the row number and the reason. **How do we stop a dealer who has not paid?** Set a credit limit, and an order that would take them over it is refused at checkout. Put the account on hold and they cannot order on credit at all until you lift it. **Can customers who want a fan find their nearest dealer?** Your website can send their enquiry to GoCommerce, which passes it to the dealer whose state or PIN code area fits best and emails them. There is no ready-made dealer-finder page, so the form on your website has to be built. **Does it handle GST?** Yes, for a store in India with a valid GSTIN that sells in rupees: every paid order gets a tax invoice with HSN codes and the CGST, SGST or IGST split, and the invoices export to TallyPrime. There is no e-invoice, e-way bill or GST credit note, and delivery is printed without GST. ### Read next #### [Dealer portal](https://kitcommerce.store/solutions/dealer-portal/) A dealer and distributor ordering portal on your own web address: orders, credit, statements, approvals and quotes. #### [B2B ecommerce in India](https://kitcommerce.store/solutions/b2b-ecommerce-india/) For Indian manufacturers and distributors: dealers order online at their own prices, on credit within a limit, and see what they owe. #### [Building materials](https://kitcommerce.store/solutions/building-materials/) For makers and distributors of tiles, sanitaryware, plywood, laminates and pipes who sell through dealers on credit. #### [Shopify B2B vs KitCommerce](https://kitcommerce.store/compare/shopify-b2b-vs-kitcommerce/) Selling to dealers and wholesale buyers: Shopify’s B2B features by plan against GoCommerce’s trade portal, credit limits, statements and quotes. #### [Shopify fee calculator](https://kitcommerce.store/pricing/fee-calculator/) Shopify’s plan and fee on your own month of sales, against 1% of every order hosted, plus 18% GST on the fee. ### Sources Facts about the trade on this page come from the pages below, read on 26 October 2026.
