The case for a B2B ordering portal in Port-au-Prince
Port-au-Prince is a capital of haiti, with a population of roughly 987,000, and one of the markets in Haiti where we build B2B and wholesale portals.
The local economy is driven by trade, services, textiles, banking and telecoms, and commercial activity concentrates around the Pétion-Ville road, Delmas and the Port-au-Prince harbour.
Logistics are supported by Toussaint Louverture International Airport and the Port of Port-au-Prince, 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.
That is why more companies in Port-au-Prince are moving from phone, WhatsApp and spreadsheet orders to a proper B2B ordering portal — one place where products, prices, payments, orders and customers are managed together.
Local details we build into every Port-au-Prince project
Conversion in Port-au-Prince 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 Port-au-Prince buyers never convert in their heads.
Language and content
Content can be produced in Haitian Creole and French, so a Port-au-Prince customer reads the store in the language they use at home.
Local trust signals
We add the payment logos, courier names and policy pages shoppers in Port-au-Prince recognise: MonCash and NatCash and delivery through Poste Haïtienne.
Domain, phone and contact
Using .ht where it suits you signals a local business to shoppers and search engines. Click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons use the +509 calling code so customers reach you without dialling errors.
Talent and partners nearby
Port-au-Prince draws on State University of Haiti and Quisqueya University, which means plenty of local staff, interns and technology partners to run the store after launch.
Designed to your requirements, not a template
Every NNT Mart B2B ordering portal in Port-au-Prince is engineered to the client's own brief — the web platform, the admin panel and, when you need one, a mobile application built for your workflow.
In Port-au-Prince 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.
Features of your B2B ordering portal in Port-au-Prince
These are the building blocks of a B2B ordering portal. We scope them with you, so you pay for what your Port-au-Prince operation needs.
Business accounts
Registration, KYC and approval, company hierarchies, branches, buyers and approvers with their own permissions. Catalogues come in from spreadsheets, ERP exports or supplier feeds, so your Port-au-Prince team keeps its current way of working.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Payment steps are built around MonCash, NatCash and Visa and Mastercard (limited), the options shoppers here already trust.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Delivery can be booked through Poste Haïtienne, DHL and Local couriers or dispatched by your own riders around Port-au-Prince.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Inventory can sit in Port-au-Prince, in a partner warehouse or across Haiti, with click-and-collect where customers want it.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Revenue reports by product, repeat buyer and delivery area of Port-au-Prince guide stock and marketing decisions.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Pages, search filters and wording are tuned to how people in Port-au-Prince look for products, in Haitian Creole and French if your audience needs it.
Who we build for in Port-au-Prince
Popular online categories in Haiti include phones and electronics, fashion, food, building materials, cosmetics and crafts. Local demand in Port-au-Prince is shaped by trade, services, textiles, banking and telecoms, so we often design catalogues and B2B ordering around those sectors. In Port-au-Prince, we most often build B2B and wholesale portals for:
Wholesalers
For wholesalers, we usually start with contract pricing, then add ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho) once orders are flowing.
FMCG distributors
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for FMCG distributors in Port-au-Prince, connected to the systems you already use.
Industrial suppliers
Industrial suppliers get quick and bulk ordering plus credit and payments workflows tailored to their operations.
Electrical and hardware traders
We map how electrical and hardware traders sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
Medical and institutional suppliers
For medical and institutional suppliers, we usually start with sales-team tools, then add credit and payment gateways once orders are flowing.
Dealer networks
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for dealer networks in Port-au-Prince, connected to the systems you already use.
Payments customers in Port-au-Prince expect
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).
Zone-based payment rules let you offer different options for the Pétion-Ville road than for outer parts of Port-au-Prince.
- MonCash
- NatCash
- Bank transfer
- Visa and Mastercard (limited)
- Cash on delivery
Fulfilment options for Port-au-Prince orders
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 Port-au-Prince.
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 — Toussaint Louverture International Airport and the Port of Port-au-Prince — makes regional and national dispatch from Port-au-Prince practical.
Your own store alongside Facebook Marketplace and WhatsApp commerce
Many Port-au-Prince 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.
Tax, invoicing and compliance in Haiti
For Port-au-Prince sellers, tax first: Haiti charges 10% TCA (turnover tax) on goods and services, with customs duty on imports.
On privacy we design around general privacy rights and emerging ICT rules under CONATEL; on consumer rights the store reflects general consumer provisions in the Civil and Commercial Codes.
We build the technical controls — tax-inclusive pricing, compliant invoices, consent banners, terms and return pages, data-access roles and audit logs. We are not a law firm, so final legal and tax positions should be confirmed with your own adviser in Haiti.
Take your Port-au-Prince store onto customers' phones
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.
Apps are published under your own developer accounts and share the same backend as your B2B ordering portal, so offers, stock and orders are always consistent between web and mobile.
Push notifications can be timed to UTC−4 so offers reach Port-au-Prince customers when they are awake, and the interface can run in Haitian Creole and French.
- Warehouse and inventory systems
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- Logistics and freight partners
- BI and reporting tools
- CRM and lead management
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- Credit and payment gateways
Integrations above are examples; we connect any system that offers a suitable API, database access or approved import and export process.
How we phase your B2B ordering portal
We launch the journeys that create value first, then add depth. A typical roadmap for a B2B ordering portal in Port-au-Prince:
| 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 Port-au-Prince 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 Port-au-Prince results are visible, not promised.
Support hours and communication for Port-au-Prince
Port-au-Prince runs on UTC−4, which is 9h 30m behind India (IST). With three 8-hour shifts we are available 24×7, so meetings, demos and urgent fixes happen in your working hours.
We work in English and can deliver storefront content in Haitian Creole and French. NDAs are signed on request, and you get a named project lead plus direct access to the engineers building your B2B ordering portal.
Our head office is in Chhapi, Gujarat, with an office in Hyderabad and representation in Nigeria, South Africa, Ethiopia and Zambia; Port-au-Prince clients are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
