The case for a B2B ordering portal in Paraguay
Paraguay is a market of about 6.8 million people where B2B and wholesale portals are growing fast, with Asunción as its capital.
Paraguay’s cross-border trade hub at Ciudad del Este and its low taxes make it a distribution base for Brazil and Argentina. Mobile wallets like Tigo Money and Personal Pay are growing fast.
That is why more companies in Paraguay 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 Paraguay project
Conversion in Paraguay depends on small local signals — the right currency, the right words and the right payment and courier names.
Currency and pricing
The store speaks Paraguayan guaraní: PYG amounts from product page to invoice, so Paraguay buyers never convert in their heads.
Language and content
We localise pages, emails and notifications into Spanish and Guaraní where your audience needs it.
Local trust signals
Trust is local: familiar names such as Tigo Money and Personal Pay and Correo Paraguayo sit next to the buy button.
Domain, phone and contact
Using .py where it suits you signals a local business to shoppers and search engines. Click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons use the +595 calling code so customers reach you without dialling errors.
Designed to your requirements, not a template
Whatever your business sells in Paraguay, 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.
In Paraguay we typically work with wholesalers, FMCG distributors, industrial suppliers and electrical and hardware traders, and with sellers in categories such as electronics, fashion, agri-products and home goods that have strong online demand in Paraguay.
We start with a requirements meeting, show you a working demo within 24 hours, and only then propose scope, milestones and budget.
Core modules we build for Paraguay clients
Nothing here is fixed: modules are switched on, reshaped or built from scratch around how your Paraguay business sells.
Business accounts
Registration, KYC and approval, company hierarchies, branches, buyers and approvers with their own permissions. Stock can be held in Paraguay or anywhere in Paraguay, with pickup and local-delivery options where they make sense.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Dashboards break sales down by product, customer and neighbourhood of Paraguay, so you see what to promote.
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 Paraguay shoppers and available in Spanish and Guaraní.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Product data imports from your existing sheets or ERP, so Paraguay teams do not re-type thousands of items.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Checkout is configured for Tigo Money, Personal Pay and Bancard cards.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Delivery can be booked through Correo Paraguayo, DHL and FedEx or dispatched by your own riders around Paraguay.
Checkout and payment methods for Paraguay
A store that serves Paraguay should let customers pay the way they do offline: Tigo Money, Personal Pay, Bancard cards and Visa and Mastercard.
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 Paraguayan guaraní (PYG).
- Personal Pay
- Bancard cards
- Cash on delivery
- Tigo Money
- Bank transfer
- Visa and Mastercard
Delivery and fulfilment across Paraguay
Your B2B ordering portal can book shipments and share tracking with Correo Paraguayo, DHL, FedEx, Courier Express, Local moto-couriers and Rapi-Envío, 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.
Compliance built into your B2B ordering portal
For Paraguay sellers, tax first: Paraguay charges 10% and 5% VAT (IVA) rates and a flat 10% corporate income tax; electronic invoicing (SIFEN) is mandatory in phases.
Two frameworks shape the build: Law No. 6534/2020 on the protection of credit-related personal data and constitutional habeas data, and the Consumer Defence Law (Ley 1334/98) and distance-selling provisions.
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.
Your own store alongside MercadoLibre Paraguay and Facebook Marketplace
Many Paraguay sellers already list on MercadoLibre Paraguay, Facebook Marketplace, PedidosYa, Instagram shops, Shopping China and Paris Ciudad del Este and Hiperseis online. 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 Paraguay
Popular online categories in Paraguay include electronics, fashion, agri-products, home goods, auto parts and cosmetics. In Paraguay, 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 Paraguay, 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.
Take your Paraguay store onto customers' phones
In Paraguay, shoppers browse on phones first. 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−3 so offers reach Paraguay customers when they are awake, and the interface can run in Spanish and Guaraní.
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- Credit and payment gateways
- Logistics and freight partners
- Warehouse and inventory systems
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- BI and reporting tools
- CRM and lead management
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 Paraguay:
| Phase | What goes live |
|---|---|
| Launch portal | Accounts, contract pricing, catalogue, ordering and ERP order sync. Configured for PYG, Tigo Money and Correo Paraguayo from the start. |
| Automate | Quotes, approvals, credit, statements and notifications. |
| Expand | Dealer and sales-rep apps, analytics and new territories. Reviewed against how Paraguay 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.
Time zones, language and support
Paraguay runs on UTC−3, which is 8h 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.
Project communication is in English; storefront content can be produced in Guarani and Spanish. 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 Paraguay are served remotely with on-site workshops when the project needs them.
