Why a B2B ordering portal makes sense for Ireland
Ireland is a market of about 5.1 million people where B2B and wholesale portals are growing fast, with Dublin as its capital.
Ireland has SMEs make up 99% of all businesses in the European Union (European Commission). Irish consumers have historically bought heavily from UK sites, so Irish-hosted stores with euro pricing and no post-Brexit import surprises win trust. Mobile wallets dominate checkout.
Shoppers and trade buyers in Ireland 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.
Localised for Ireland, not translated into it
Conversion in Ireland depends on small local signals — the right currency, the right words and the right payment and courier names.
Currency and pricing
The store speaks euro: EUR amounts from product page to invoice, so Ireland buyers never convert in their heads.
Language and content
Storefront copy, product pages and emails can run in English and Irish, with local date and number formats.
Local trust signals
Trust is local: familiar names such as Visa and Mastercard and Apple Pay and Google Pay and An Post sit next to the buy button.
Domain, phone and contact
Using .ie where it suits you signals a local business to shoppers and search engines. Contact buttons are pre-set with +353, so a customer in Ireland taps once to call or message.
Designed to your requirements, not a template
Whatever your business sells in Ireland, 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.
Typical clients include FMCG distributors, industrial suppliers, electrical and hardware traders and medical and institutional suppliers. Categories that sell especially well online in Ireland — fashion, electronics, groceries and home — 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.
What your B2B ordering portal includes
These are the building blocks of a B2B ordering portal. We scope them with you, so you pay for what your Ireland operation needs.
Business accounts
Registration, KYC and approval, company hierarchies, branches, buyers and approvers with their own permissions. Content and design can follow how customers in Ireland search and buy, including English and Irish where you need it.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Product data imports from your existing sheets or ERP, so Ireland teams do not re-type thousands of items.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Customers in Ireland can pay with Visa and Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay and PayPal, with receipts and refunds handled in the same admin.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Couriers such as An Post, DPD Ireland and Fastway (Nuvo) plug in alongside your own fleet for Ireland orders.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Stock can be held in Ireland or anywhere in Ireland, with pickup and local-delivery options where they make sense.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Reports show which products, customers and areas of Ireland drive revenue.
Checkout and payment methods for Ireland
Shoppers in Ireland rarely abandon a cart over price alone — they leave when their usual method is missing. Here that means Visa and Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay and PayPal, then Klarna and Revolut Pay.
Provider approval, settlement time and fees differ by business type, so we shortlist gateways with you, then wire up status updates, refunds and reconciliation in EUR — card details stay with the provider.
- Visa and Mastercard
- Revolut Pay
- PayPal
- Apple Pay and Google Pay
- Klarna
Shipping, couriers and local delivery in Ireland
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with An Post, DPD Ireland, Fastway (Nuvo), GLS and Parcel Motel lockers, or route orders to your own riders and stores.
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.
Tax, invoicing and compliance in Ireland
On tax: Irish VAT is 23% standard with 13.5% and 9% reduced rates; post-Brexit, imports from the UK may carry customs and VAT charges.
Customer data is handled with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy rules on cookies and marketing consent, enforced by the Data Protection Commission in mind, and the storefront follows the EU Consumer Rights Directive (14-day withdrawal right), the Digital Services Act and, from June 2025, the European Accessibility Act for online shops and the Consumer Rights Act 2022.
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.
Owning your channel in Ireland
Many Ireland sellers already list on Amazon (UK and DE), DoneDeal, Adverts.ie, Harvey Norman and Littlewoods Ireland. Those channels bring traffic, but they also take commission, control the customer relationship and change rules without notice.
NNT Mart gives you a channel you own: your domain, your customer list, your pricing and your brand. Where it helps, we connect product feeds and orders from marketplaces so stock stays in sync and your team works from one dashboard.
Who we build for in Ireland
Popular online categories in Ireland include fashion, electronics, groceries, home, health and beauty and sports. In Ireland, we most often build B2B and wholesale portals for:
Wholesalers
We map how wholesalers sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
FMCG distributors
For FMCG distributors, we usually start with quick and bulk ordering, then add accounting and e-invoicing once orders are flowing.
Industrial suppliers
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for industrial suppliers in Ireland, 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.
Medical and institutional suppliers
We map how medical and institutional suppliers sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
Dealer networks
For dealer networks, we usually start with business accounts, then add logistics and freight partners once orders are flowing.
Mobile commerce in Ireland
Phones carry most traffic in Ireland. 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+1 so offers reach Ireland customers when they are awake, and the interface can run in English and Irish.
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- Warehouse and inventory systems
- BI and reporting tools
- CRM and lead management
- Logistics and freight partners
- 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 Ireland:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for EUR, Visa and Mastercard and An Post from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Ireland 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.
Support hours and communication for Ireland
Our team covers UTC+1 — 4h 30m behind India (IST) — through three 8-hour shifts, so a Ireland client always reaches someone during the local working day.
Project communication is in English; storefront content can be produced in Irish and English. You get a named lead, direct engineer access and an NDA if you ask.
Our head office is in Chhapi, Gujarat, with an office in Hyderabad and representation in Nigeria, South Africa, Ethiopia and Zambia; clients in Ireland are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
