Why Majuro businesses are investing in B2B and wholesale portals
Majuro is a capital of the marshall islands, where around 30,000 people live and shop, and one of the markets in Marshall Islands where we build B2B and wholesale portals.
Capital atoll and commercial centre — a business base that increasingly wants to sell online rather than through calls, messages and spreadsheets.
Commerce is concentrated on Majuro and Ebeye, with US dollar pricing and US-style shipping. Small, efficient catalogues work best.
Shoppers and trade buyers in Majuro 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.
What makes a Majuro store feel local
A store that works in Majuro respects local habits as well as local law. These are the details we configure first.
Currency and pricing
Everything a Majuro shopper sees — price, tax, delivery fee, refund — is in USD, written the local way.
Language and content
Content can be produced in Marshallese and English, so a Majuro customer reads the store in the language they use at home.
Local trust signals
Badges for Visa and Mastercard and bank transfer, Marshall Islands Postal Service delivery and clear return terms reassure first-time buyers in Majuro.
Domain, phone and contact
Using .mh where it suits you signals a local business to shoppers and search engines. Click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons use the +692 calling code so customers reach you without dialling errors.
Designed to your requirements, not a template
Majuro 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 Majuro we typically work with wholesalers, FMCG distributors, industrial suppliers and electrical and hardware traders, and with sellers in categories such as groceries, electronics, hardware and home that have strong online demand in the Marshall Islands.
We start with a requirements meeting, show you a working demo within 24 hours, and only then propose scope, milestones and budget.
Features of your B2B ordering portal in Majuro
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. Storefront language, imagery and navigation are set up for Majuro shoppers and available in Marshallese and English.
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 Majuro 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. Payment steps are built around Visa and Mastercard, bank transfer and mobile money, the options shoppers here already trust.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Couriers such as Marshall Islands Postal Service, DHL and air cargo plug in alongside your own fleet for Majuro orders.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Stock can be held in Majuro or anywhere in Marshall Islands, 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. Revenue reports by product, repeat buyer and delivery area of Majuro guide stock and marketing decisions.
Industries in Majuro we work with
Popular online categories in the Marshall Islands include groceries, electronics, hardware, home, fashion and fishing equipment. Capital atoll and commercial centre — which shapes what local businesses need online. In Majuro, 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 Majuro, 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 Majuro, connected to the systems you already use.
Getting paid online in Majuro
A B2B ordering portal for Majuro must support the way people here actually pay: Visa and Mastercard, bank transfer, mobile money 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 US dollar (USD).
- Cash on delivery
- Bank transfer
- Mobile money
- Visa and Mastercard
Fulfilment options for Majuro orders
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with Marshall Islands Postal Service, DHL and air cargo, or route orders to your own riders and stores across Majuro.
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.
Your own store alongside local stores and US cross-border sites
Many Majuro sellers already list on local stores and US cross-border sites. Those channels bring traffic, but they also take commission, control the customer relationship and change rules without notice.
With your own B2B ordering portal you keep the customer data, set the offers and the packaging, and still push stock to marketplaces from a single admin.
Selling online legally in the Marshall Islands
For Majuro sellers, tax first: The Marshall Islands has no VAT; import duties and gross revenue taxes apply.
On privacy we design around general constitutional protections; on consumer rights the store reflects the Consumer Protection Act.
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 Majuro.
Android and iOS apps for your Majuro business
Phones carry most traffic in the Marshall Islands. 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+12 so offers reach Majuro customers when they are awake, and the interface can run in Marshallese and English.
- Credit and payment gateways
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- Warehouse and inventory systems
- CRM and lead management
- BI and reporting tools
- 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 Majuro
Value first, depth later. For a B2B ordering portal serving Majuro, the usual sequence looks like this:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for USD, Visa and Mastercard and Marshall Islands Postal Service from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Majuro 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.
