The case for a B2B ordering portal in Asunción
Asunción is a capital and most populous city of paraguay, where around 462,000 people live and shop, and one of the markets in Paraguay where we build B2B and wholesale portals.
The local economy is driven by banking, services, trade, logistics and agribusiness, and commercial activity concentrates around Villa Morra, Carmelitas and the Microcentro.
Logistics are supported by Silvio Pettirossi International Airport and the Paraguay river port, which matters when you promise customers fast delivery.
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 Asunción 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.
Localised for Asunción, not translated into it
A store that works in Asunción respects local habits as well as local law. These are the details we configure first.
Currency and pricing
Prices, taxes, shipping and refunds are shown in Paraguayan guaraní (PYG), formatted the way Asunción customers read them.
Language and content
Storefront copy, product pages and emails can run in Spanish and Guaraní, with local date and number formats.
Local trust signals
We add the payment logos, courier names and policy pages shoppers in Asunción recognise: Tigo Money and Personal Pay and delivery through Correo Paraguayo.
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.
Talent and partners nearby
Asunción draws on National University of Asunción and Catholic University, which means plenty of local staff, interns and technology partners to run the store after launch.
Designed to your requirements, not a template
We do not hand Asunción businesses a ready-made theme: we study how you sell, then build the online platform and Android/iOS app your customers and staff actually need.
Typical clients include FMCG distributors, industrial suppliers, electrical and hardware traders and medical and institutional suppliers. Categories that sell especially well online in Paraguay — electronics, fashion, agri-products and home goods — get catalogue structures and filters designed for them.
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
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. Checkout is configured for Tigo Money, Personal Pay and Bancard cards.
Contract pricing
Price lists by customer, group or territory, quantity slabs, pack sizes, minimum order values and negotiated rates. Delivery can be booked through Correo Paraguayo, DHL and FedEx or dispatched by your own riders around Asunción.
Quick and bulk ordering
SKU-code entry, spreadsheet upload, saved lists, re-order from history and scheduled repeat orders. Inventory can sit in Asunción, in a partner warehouse or across Paraguay, with click-and-collect where customers want it.
Quotes and approvals
Request-for-quotation, counter-offers, purchase-order upload and multi-level approval before submission. Dashboards break sales down by product, customer and neighbourhood of Asunción, so you see what to promote.
Credit and payments
Online payment, credit limits, pay-later terms, outstanding statements and payment reminders where approved. Storefront language, imagery and navigation are set up for Asunción shoppers and available in Spanish and Guaraní.
Sales-team tools
Order on behalf of customers, territory assignment, visit notes and performance dashboards for representatives. Bulk import and sync tools mean the Asunción team never re-keys stock, prices or descriptions by hand.
Industries in Asunción we work with
Popular online categories in Paraguay include electronics, fashion, agri-products, home goods, auto parts and cosmetics. Local demand in Asunción is shaped by banking, services, trade, logistics and agribusiness, so we often design catalogues and B2B ordering around those sectors. In Asunción, we most often build B2B and wholesale portals for:
Wholesalers
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for wholesalers in Asunción, connected to the systems you already use.
FMCG distributors
FMCG distributors get contract pricing plus quotes and approvals workflows tailored to their operations.
Industrial suppliers
We map how industrial suppliers sell today and digitise it end to end — from enquiry and order to payment, dispatch and repeat purchase.
Electrical and hardware traders
For electrical and hardware traders, we usually start with credit and payments, then add warehouse and inventory systems once orders are flowing.
Medical and institutional suppliers
Catalogue, pricing and fulfilment rules designed for medical and institutional suppliers in Asunción, connected to the systems you already use.
Dealer networks
Dealer networks get sales-team tools plus contract pricing workflows tailored to their operations.
How Asunción customers pay online
Checkout is where most online sales are won or lost. In Paraguay, customers expect to pay with Tigo Money, Personal Pay and Bancard cards, and many also look for Visa and Mastercard, bank transfer and cash on delivery.
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 PYG — card details stay with the provider.
Business buyers around Villa Morra often want invoices or bank transfer, while consumers lean on Tigo Money. We support both flows.
- Tigo Money
- Personal Pay
- Bancard cards
- Visa and Mastercard
- Bank transfer
- Cash on delivery
Delivery and fulfilment from Asunción
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 across Asunción.
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.
Connectivity in the area — Silvio Pettirossi International Airport and the Paraguay river port — makes regional and national dispatch from Asunción practical.
Your own store alongside MercadoLibre Paraguay and Facebook Marketplace
For a Asunción business, MercadoLibre Paraguay, Facebook Marketplace, PedidosYa and Instagram shops are useful shop windows — but fees, ranking changes and shared customer data limit how far you can grow on them alone.
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.
Compliance built into your B2B ordering portal
On tax: Paraguay charges 10% and 5% VAT (IVA) rates and a flat 10% corporate income tax; electronic invoicing (SIFEN) is mandatory in phases.
Customer data is handled with Law No. 6534/2020 on the protection of credit-related personal data and constitutional habeas data in mind, and the storefront follows the Consumer Defence Law (Ley 1334/98) and distance-selling provisions.
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 Paraguay.
Take your Asunción 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−3 so offers reach Asunción customers when they are awake, and the interface can run in Spanish and Guaraní.
- Credit and payment gateways
- Logistics and freight partners
- WhatsApp and SMS notifications
- ERP (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, Zoho)
- BI and reporting tools
- CRM and lead management
- Accounting and e-invoicing
- Warehouse and inventory systems
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 Asunción
Value first, depth later. For a B2B ordering portal serving Asunción, the usual sequence looks like this:
| 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 Asunción 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.
How Asunción clients work with us
Asunción 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.
