🤖 AI-Ready Access to B2B Wave Data

B2B Wave MCP Server

Connect B2B Wave with MCP-compatible AI tools.

What It Does: The B2B Wave MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server allows approved MCP clients, such as Claude, Cursor, or similar tools, to connect to your B2B Wave store. Access is admin-authorized and read-only by default, covering B2B Wave orders, products, prices, and customers. Teams can ask AI-assisted tools questions about store data, such as which products a specific customer ordered most during a given period, or how many orders a customer canceled in the first quarter of 2026.

Why Use It: MCP support gives wholesale teams a faster, more flexible way to explore B2B Wave data through AI-assisted tools. It complements existing reports by helping teams ask targeted questions and get useful operational insights faster.

More Control Over Wholesale Ordering

‍

Delivery Date Rules

Give customers clear delivery date options at checkout.

What It Does: Delivery date rules determine which delivery dates customers can choose for their order. Admins can set these rules based on order day, cutoff time, available delivery days, and customer-specific delivery schedules. For example, a wholesaler may support Friday delivery for orders placed before 2 p.m. on Thursday, while orders placed after 2 p.m. may move to the next available delivery day. Admins can also assign delivery date rules to different customers, so one customer may only see Tuesday and Thursday delivery options, while another sees Monday and Wednesday.

Why Use It: Manage customer expectations around order delivery and make internal coordination easier when working with fixed delivery routes, regional schedules, production cutoffs, or buyers who need orders to arrive on specific dates.

‍

Standing Orders

Automate repeat ordering for customers who purchase the same products on a regular schedule.

What It Does: Admin users can create a standing order for a specific customer, choose the relevant products, address, shipping option, delivery schedule, and order status, and preview the order creation plan for the next 8 weeks before saving it.

Why Use It: Standing orders support wholesale businesses serving customers who buy specific quantities at regular intervals, such as food service buyers with scheduled replenishment needs (e.g., a diner ordering pancake batter every week), while reducing manual order entry for recurring orders.

Note: Standing orders currently don’t support product variants.

‍

Customer-Specific Minimum Quantity and Box Quantity Overrides

Apply different minimum quantity or box quantity rules for different customers.

What It Does: Admins can set customer-specific overrides for minimum order quantity and box quantity rules. For example, a medical supplier may want different box quantity requirements for hospitals than for private practices. With customer-specific rule overrides, you can apply these requirements without changing the default product rules that apply to most buyers.

Why Use It: Wholesale ordering rules aren’t one-size-fits-all. Larger distributors, regional partners, or key accounts may need different order minimums or box quantity requirements. These overrides give wholesalers more control over account-specific ordering rules.

‍

Product Variant Weights and Barcodes

Add weight and barcode options at the variant level.

What It Does: Manage weight and assign barcodes for product variants.

Why Use It: Businesses can keep variant data more accurate, identify variants more easily, and manage pricing differences when variants have different weights.

Smarter Localization for Global Teams

‍

Admin Panel Language Settings by Admin User, Sales Rep, and Supplier

Support multilingual internal teams with more flexible language settings in their daily work.

What It Does: B2B Wave now supports language settings at the admin user, sales rep, and supplier levels, in addition to existing language options for the customer-facing portal and buyers. For example, a company may run its main portal in English while allowing a sales rep, internal user, or supplier to use the Admin Panel in French.

Why Use It: Flexible language settings help multilingual teams with an international presence work more comfortably in B2B Wave.

‍

Croatian Language Support

🔔 This just in: Sada govorimo hrvatski! Yes, we speak Croatian.  

What It Does: B2B Wave now supports Croatian across its portal, Admin Panel, and translation features, including email templates, products, order statuses, and more.

Why Use It: Wholesale teams based in Croatia, operating in Croatia, or serving Croatian-speaking buyers can now do business in their language.

‍

More Flexible Sales Rep Permissions

‍

Sales Reps Can Edit Customer-Specific Prices

Give sales reps more control over customer-specific pricing.

What It Does: Admins can allow sales reps to set customer-specific prices without editing the main product entry.  

Why Use It: Give sales reps more flexibility to manage negotiated pricing or account-specific arrangements at the customer level, without changing the main product data.

‍

Warehouse Assignment by Sales Rep

Allow sales reps to assign specific warehouses to customers.

What It Does: Admins can allow sales reps to assign specific warehouses when creating or managing customers, connecting customer accounts to the warehouses that fulfill their orders.

Why Use It: Regional sales teams or sales reps responsible for specific markets can manage which warehouses are available to each customer more directly and efficiently.
‍

‍

Improved Integration Syncing

‍

Better Shopify Syncing

Keep Shopify product and inventory data more accurate in B2B Wave.

What It Does: We’ve improved how product details and quantity data sync from Shopify to B2B Wave, making the process faster, more accurate, and more configurable.

Why Use It: Teams using Shopify alongside B2B Wave can keep product updates, quantity changes, and catalog data better aligned across both systems.

‍

Invoice Email Sync to QuickBooks Online

Keep invoice communication details aligned between B2B Wave and QuickBooks Online.

What It Does: When a customer wants to receive invoices at a separate email address, admins can specify this in B2B Wave, and the email will flow through to the QuickBooks Online invoice. If the invoice is later resent from QuickBooks Online, it will go to the correct invoice email address.

Why Use It: Keeping the invoice email address aligned in QuickBooks Online helps invoices reach the right recipient.
‍

‍

Expanded Customization Options

‍

Extra Fields for Brands and Shipping Options

Support deeper customizations with more flexible data fields.

What It Does: B2B Wave has expanded extra-field support for brands and shipping options, letting teams add additional attributes when needed.

Why Use It: Extra fields help businesses capture more specific operational data inside B2B Wave, making it easier to support tailored workflows and customizations.
‍

‍

Upgraded Order Reporting

‍

New Fields and Filters in the Orders Summary Report

Get clearer payment context directly in the Orders Summary report and find customer records more easily using the new company name filter.

What It Does: B2B Wave now shows additional payment-related fields in the Orders Summary Report, including paid amount, balance, and whether an order has been paid. You can also narrow down orders using the newly introduced company name filter.

Why Use It: Teams can review order payment status faster and find specific customer records in the same report, making follow-up and coordination between sales, operations, and finance easier.
‍

‍

Better API and Large Order Performance

‍

Faster API Performance

We’ve improved the performance of key API endpoints.

What It Does: The Products, Customers, and Orders APIs now respond faster.

Why Use It: API-connected workflows can run faster and more efficiently, supporting better overall platform stability, especially for businesses that rely heavily on connected systems and automated processes.

‍

Improved Current Order Performance for Large Orders

B2B Wave has also improved performance for orders with many line items.

What It Does: The Current Order page now performs better for larger orders, such as orders containing more than 50 items.

Why Use It: The page now loads and processes larger orders more smoothly, reducing friction for customers placing high-volume orders.
