The case for a B2B ordering portal in Cap-Haïtien
Cap-Haïtien is a commune in the department of nord, haiti, where around 156,000 people live and shop, and one of the markets in Haiti where we build B2B and wholesale portals.
Key sectors include port trade, tourism, agriculture and retail, with business districts such as the Rue du Quai and the Cap-Haïtien harbour.
Logistics are supported by Hugo Chávez International Airport and the Port of Cap-Haïtien, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
Haiti’s digital payments are led by mobile wallets such as MonCash, and a large diaspora sends remittances and buys goods for relatives. Stores need reliable local delivery partners and clear payment instructions.
Shoppers and trade buyers in Cap-Haïtien already compare options on their phones; a B2B ordering portal that loads fast, shows accurate stock and accepts MonCash turns that research into orders.
What makes a Cap-Haïtien store feel local
Conversion in Cap-Haïtien depends on small local signals — the right currency, the right words and the right payment and courier names.
Currency and pricing
The store speaks Haitian gourde: HTG amounts from product page to invoice, so Cap-Haïtien buyers never convert in their heads.
Language and content
We localise pages, emails and notifications into Haitian Creole and French where your audience needs it.
Local trust signals
Trust is local: familiar names such as MonCash and NatCash and Poste Haïtienne sit next to the buy button.
Domain, phone and contact
A .ht domain (or your own) builds local trust and search relevance. Contact buttons are pre-set with +509, so a customer in Cap-Haïtien taps once to call or message.
Talent and partners nearby
With Université Roi Henri Christophe close by, finding people to manage catalogues, content and support after launch is realistic in Cap-Haïtien.
A B2B ordering portal built around your Cap-Haïtien business
Cap-Haïtien 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.
In Cap-Haïtien we typically work with wholesalers, FMCG distributors, industrial suppliers and electrical and hardware traders, and with sellers in categories such as phones and electronics, fashion, food and building materials that have strong online demand in Haiti.
Before any commitment you get a free requirements meeting, a demo built on your use case and a proposal priced to your budget.
What your B2B ordering portal includes
Nothing here is fixed: modules are switched on, reshaped or built from scratch around how your Cap-Haïtien business sells.
Business accounts
Registration, KYC and approval, company hierarchies, branches, buyers and approvers with their own permissions. Multiple stock points in Haiti are supported, so a Cap-Haïtien order ships from the nearest one.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Revenue reports by product, repeat buyer and delivery area of Cap-Haïtien guide stock and marketing decisions.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Storefront language, imagery and navigation are set up for Cap-Haïtien shoppers and available in Haitian Creole and French.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Bulk import and sync tools mean the Cap-Haïtien team never re-keys stock, prices or descriptions by hand.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Customers in Cap-Haïtien can pay with MonCash, NatCash and Visa and Mastercard (limited), with receipts and refunds handled in the same admin.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Couriers such as Poste Haïtienne, DHL and Local couriers plug in alongside your own fleet for Cap-Haïtien orders.
How Cap-Haïtien customers pay online
Checkout is where most online sales are won or lost. In Haiti, customers expect to pay with MonCash, NatCash and Visa and Mastercard (limited), and many also look for cash on delivery and bank transfer.
We integrate suitable gateways and providers for your business category and merchant eligibility, handle payment status, failed-payment retries and refunds, and keep sensitive card data with the provider rather than on your servers. All amounts are shown in Haitian gourde (HTG).
For Cap-Haïtien customers ordering from the Rue du Quai and the Cap-Haïtien harbour, cash-on-delivery and pay-on-pickup rules can be set per delivery zone.
- Visa and Mastercard (limited)
- MonCash
- Bank transfer
- Cash on delivery
- NatCash
Delivery and fulfilment from Cap-Haïtien
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with Poste Haïtienne, DHL, Local couriers, Moto-couriers and Bus-line parcels, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Cap-Haïtien.
We set up shipping zones, cut-off times, free-shipping thresholds, cash-collection rules and returns so the promise on the product page matches what your team can deliver.
Connectivity in the area — Hugo Chávez International Airport and the Port of Cap-Haïtien — makes regional and national dispatch from Cap-Haïtien practical.
Rules Cap-Haïtien sellers must respect online
For Cap-Haïtien sellers, tax first: Haiti charges 10% TCA (turnover tax) on goods and services, with customs duty on imports.
Two frameworks shape the build: general privacy rights and emerging ICT rules under CONATEL, and general consumer provisions in the Civil and Commercial Codes.
Our job is the engineering: price display with tax, invoice numbering, cookie and marketing consent, return and terms pages, role-based access and logs. Legal and tax conclusions stay with your own adviser in Haiti.
Owning your channel in Haiti
Many Cap-Haïtien sellers already list on Facebook Marketplace, WhatsApp commerce, Local classifieds and Amazon (via forwarders). Those channels bring traffic, but they also take commission, control the customer relationship and change rules without notice.
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.
Who we build for in Cap-Haïtien
Popular online categories in Haiti include phones and electronics, fashion, food, building materials, cosmetics and crafts. Local demand in Cap-Haïtien is shaped by port trade, tourism, agriculture and retail, so we often design catalogues and B2B ordering around those sectors. In Cap-Haïtien, we most often build B2B and wholesale portals for:
Wholesalers
Wholesalers get business accounts plus quick and bulk ordering workflows tailored to their operations.
FMCG distributors
We map how FMCG distributors sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
Industrial suppliers
For industrial suppliers, we usually start with quotes and approvals, then add CRM and lead management once orders are flowing.
Electrical and hardware traders
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for electrical and hardware traders in Cap-Haïtien, connected to the systems you already use.
Medical and institutional suppliers
Medical and institutional suppliers get credit and payments plus business accounts workflows tailored to their operations.
Dealer networks
We map how dealer networks sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
Mobile commerce in Cap-Haïtien
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 Cap-Haïtien customers when they are awake, and the interface can run in Haitian Creole and French.
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- Warehouse and inventory systems
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- BI and reporting tools
- CRM and lead management
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- Credit and payment gateways
- 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.
Launch roadmap and success metrics
We launch the journeys that create value first, then add depth. A typical roadmap for a B2B ordering portal in Cap-Haïtien:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for HTG, MonCash and Poste Haïtienne from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Cap-Haïtien customers actually buy. |
We track order-entry time, share of orders placed online, order accuracy, days sales outstanding, repeat-order frequency and sales-rep productivity on a live dashboard from day one, so Cap-Haïtien results are visible, not promised.
