Why a B2B ordering portal makes sense for Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic is a market of about 11 million people where B2B and wholesale portals are growing fast, with Santo Domingo as its capital.
The Dominican Republic is the largest economy in the Caribbean and Central America, with growing card and digital-banking adoption. Fast local delivery beats cross-border waits.
For a business in Dominican Republic, the opportunity is to own the customer relationship: your own B2B ordering portal keeps your margin, your data and your brand, while marketplaces and social channels become additional sales routes instead of the only one.
What makes a Dominican Republic store feel local
Conversion in Dominican Republic depends on small local signals — the right currency, the right words and the right payment and courier names.
Currency and pricing
Prices, taxes, shipping and refunds are shown in Dominican peso (DOP), formatted the way Dominican Republic customers read them.
Language and content
We localise pages, emails and notifications into Spanish where your audience needs it.
Local trust signals
We add the payment logos, courier names and policy pages shoppers in Dominican Republic recognise: Visa and Mastercard and Azul and CardNET gateways and delivery through INPOSDOM.
Domain, phone and contact
Using .do where it suits you signals a local business to shoppers and search engines. Click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons use the +1849 calling code so customers reach you without dialling errors.
Designed to your requirements, not a template
Whatever your business sells in Dominican Republic, N&T Software designs and develops the B2B ordering portal and the matching mobile app exactly to your requirements — your catalogue, your prices, your payment and delivery rules.
In Dominican Republic we typically work with wholesalers, FMCG distributors, industrial suppliers and electrical and hardware traders, and with sellers in categories such as fashion, electronics, beauty and home that have strong online demand in the Dominican Republic.
We start with a requirements meeting, show you a working demo within 24 hours, and only then propose scope, milestones and budget.
Core modules we build for Dominican Republic clients
Each module below is configured — or custom-developed — to your requirements. You choose what launches first and what follows in later phases.
Business accounts
Registration, KYC and approval, company hierarchies, branches, buyers and approvers with their own permissions. Payment steps are built around Visa and Mastercard, Azul and CardNET gateways and bank transfer, the options shoppers here already trust.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Couriers such as INPOSDOM, EPS and Domex plug in alongside your own fleet for Dominican Republic orders.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Multiple stock points in Dominican Republic are supported, so a Dominican Republic order ships from the nearest one.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Revenue reports by product, repeat buyer and delivery area of Dominican Republic guide stock and marketing decisions.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Storefront language, imagery and navigation are set up for Dominican Republic shoppers and available in Spanish.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Product data imports from your existing sheets or ERP, so Dominican Republic teams do not re-type thousands of items.
How Dominican Republic customers pay online
Checkout is where most online sales are won or lost. In the Dominican Republic, customers expect to pay with Visa and Mastercard, Azul and CardNET gateways and bank transfer, and many also look for tPago and cash on delivery.
Gateway selection depends on your category and merchant approval; we connect the provider, reconcile payments, automate retries and refunds, and never store raw card data. Prices, taxes and refunds appear in Dominican peso (DOP).
- TPago
- Azul and CardNET gateways
- Cash on delivery
- Bank transfer
- Visa and Mastercard
Shipping, couriers and local delivery in Dominican Republic
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with INPOSDOM, EPS, Domex, Vimenpaq and local couriers, or route orders to your own riders and stores.
Delivery rules can price by distance, weight, postcode or zone, offer same-day slots in dense areas, and switch on pickup points or click-and-collect where customers prefer them.
Rules Dominican Republic sellers must respect online
On tax: Dominican ITBIS is 18% standard, and DGII electronic invoicing (e-CF) is being made mandatory in phases.
On privacy we design around Law 172-13 on personal data protection; on consumer rights the store reflects Law 358-05 on consumer rights, enforced by Pro Consumidor.
Controls we implement include compliant invoices, consent capture, policy pages, restricted staff access and audit trails. Please confirm the final legal and tax position with a local adviser.
Your own store alongside Amazon (US cross-border) and Corotos
Amazon (US cross-border), Corotos and Plaza Lama are where many shoppers in Dominican Republic start, which is why sellers list there. The trade-off is commission, limited branding and rules the platform can change overnight.
Your B2B ordering portal becomes the hub: marketplaces and social shops become extra outlets fed from one catalogue, while repeat customers buy directly from you at better margins.

Industrial suppliers
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for industrial suppliers in Dominican Republic, connected to the systems you already use.
Electrical and hardware traders
Electrical and hardware traders get quotes and approvals plus sales-team tools workflows tailored to their operations.

Mobile commerce in Dominican Republic
In Dominican Republic, shoppers browse on phones first. A dealer and sales-representative app lets buyers re-order in seconds, scan products, check statements and receive scheme announcements, while reps take orders at the counter even with patchy connectivity.
One backend serves the website and the apps, and the apps ship under your own Google Play and App Store accounts — so what you change once appears everywhere.
Push notifications can be timed to UTC−4 so offers reach Dominican Republic customers when they are awake, and the interface can run in Spanish.
- Warehouse and inventory systems
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- CRM and lead management
- Credit and payment gateways
- BI and reporting tools
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- Logistics and freight partners
Integrations above are examples; we connect any system that offers a suitable API, database access or approved import and export process.
A phased launch plan for Dominican Republic
We launch the journeys that create value first, then add depth. A typical roadmap for a B2B ordering portal in Dominican Republic:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for DOP, Visa and Mastercard and INPOSDOM from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Dominican Republic customers actually buy. |
Success is measured on order-entry time, share of orders placed online, order accuracy, days sales outstanding, repeat-order frequency and sales-rep productivity — tracked on a dashboard you can see from launch day.
