The case for a B2B ordering portal in Santo Domingo de los Colorados
Santo Domingo de los Colorados is a commercial centre in Ecuador with a population of roughly 335,000, and one of the places where we build B2B and wholesale portals for local businesses.
Agricultural trade hub between coast and highlands — a business base that increasingly wants to sell online rather than through calls, messages and spreadsheets.
Ecuador is dollarised, which removes currency risk for foreign brands. Guayaquil and Quito together hold most online buyers.
Shoppers and trade buyers in Santo Domingo de los Colorados already compare options on their phones; a B2B ordering portal that loads fast, shows accurate stock and accepts Visa and Mastercard turns that research into orders.

Custom-built for how you sell in Santo Domingo de los Colorados
Santo Domingo de los Colorados businesses tell us what they sell and how they want to sell it; our engineers turn that into a custom B2B ordering portal, an admin system and a mobile app shaped around their operations.
Typical clients include FMCG distributors, industrial suppliers, electrical and hardware traders and medical and institutional suppliers. Categories that sell especially well online in Ecuador — electronics, fashion, home and beauty — get catalogue structures and filters designed for them.
We start with a requirements meeting, show you a working demo within 24 hours, and only then propose scope, milestones and budget.

Selling online legally in Ecuador
Tax basics: Ecuadorian IVA is 15% (since April 2024), and SRI electronic invoicing is mandatory.
Two frameworks shape the build: the Organic Law on Personal Data Protection (LOPDP) 2021, and the Organic Law on Consumer Defence and the Electronic Commerce Law.
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 in Santo Domingo de los Colorados.
Marketplaces vs. your own B2B ordering portal in Santo Domingo de los Colorados
Selling in Santo Domingo de los Colorados through Mercado Libre, De Prati and Comandato gets you reach quickly, yet the buyer belongs to the platform, not to you.
