B2B Commerce is a commercial gateway for your customers to see an online product catalogue with photos and product specifications. The orders are based on price lists, service lines and SKUs created in tracezilla.

You can still create orders directly in tracezilla.

Documents between tracezilla users, such as orders and invoices, are exchanged directly through tracezilla EDI.
