Creating a competitive B2B business is a very complex challenge requiring many aspects to be taken into account. Perhaps, the most determinative here is pricing as today's market has brought up sophisticated and demanding customers. An important role in pricing challenges plays B2B deals participants as unlike ordinary customers, businesses are more rational in decisions that exclude any chance for spontaneous purchases. That’s why B2B stores have to adjust to the system and offer different approaches in pricing policy to different customer groups in this way bringing B2B eCommerce personalization

Aheadworks understands the difficulties of our B2B clients and has created a unique solution, one of a kind in Magento 2 - Private Catalogs extension suite. It allows providing logged-in customers with exceptional service via enabling private catalogs for particular customer groups or companies. While not-logged-in customers will have access to a public catalog with its fixed prices, particular customer groups will see another catalog with extended product range or pre-negotiated prices for example. The number of private catalogs with their unique configurations is unlimited. 

The reasons to create private catalogs:

Retailers and wholesalers deals require different approaches, as well as loyal companies making purchases on an ongoing basis. With Private Catalog store, admins can set certain pre-agreed or discounted prices for the definite customer groups. For creating a new private catalog the following steps should be taken: Backend → Catalog → B2B Private Catalogs by Aheadworks → Private Catalogs grid →  Create a Private Catalog.
