Current version: 3.2.0



# Introduction
Get started with WooCommerce B2B, the best seller WordPress plugin for your B2B needs.

WooCommerce B2B is a WordPress/WooCommerce extension that solves all the different challenges of a B2B shop, introducing many new features to manage your needs.

In a single suite, all the features that an e-commerce can require to open its horizons to wholesale, but without detracting from the classic B2C needs.

You can find an always updated version of this documentation here.

# Requirements
Before starting, check that you have the minimum characteristics to ensure the correct functioning of WooCommerce B2B.

  • WordPress: version 5.0 or above
  • WooCommerce: version 4.0 or above
  • PHP: version 5.6 or above
# Quick start
Get started by using WooCommerce B2B by configuring your context.

  1. Configure general plugin options

    Define your store's behavior and rules by configuring WooCommerce B2B to your specific needs:

    WooCommerce -> Settings -> {B2B tab}
    You can find more information on each individual option below in this documentation, in Plugin options section.
  2. Create groups you need

    Create one or more groups, depending on your project, useful for grouping your customers and define specific rules for each group:

    Users -> Add new
    By default, WooCommerce B2B generates a special group called GUEST, useful for identifying all users without any group or not registered / logged in and assigning specific rules. Do not delete this group and do not consider it a generic group.
  3. Assign customers to group

    Decide which group to assign your customers to, in order to apply the rules configured for each group. You can do this in several ways:


    • By individually assigning each customer to a group in user profile edit page

      Users -> All Users -> {Edit user profile}

    • By massively assigning customers to a group in user list

      Users -> All Users -> {Bulk actions}

    By default, WooCommerce B2B allows you to assign groups only to users with the predefined role "customer". If you want to extend this behavior to custom roles, take a look at the appropriate wcb2b_has_role_customer hook.
  4. Configure products

    For each product, you can apply group-specific rules. You can do this in several ways:


    • By individually settings each single product in product edit page

      Products -> All Products -> {Edit product}

    • By massively updating products using Import/Export tools

      Products -> All Products -> {Import/Export button}

# How to translate
Translate WooCommerce B2B is very simple.

WooCommerce B2B is already provided in two language: English and Italian.

All plugin strings have been localized using the GNU gettex framework to make it completely "translation ready", so it can be easly translated in the same way that other WordPress plugins.

Find out if WooCommerce B2B is available in your desired language, thanks to the collaboration of our fantastic users: Language packs.

This is a simple guide to translate WooCommerce B2B in the language of your choice.


Get a useful software: POEDIT

WordPress, with all its themes and plugins, based translations on GNU gettex framework, that use three types of files:

  • PO (Portable Object) files
  • MO (Machine Object) files
  • POT (Portable Object Template) files

The first step is to get a translation tool able to manage this kind of files; there are many ones available, but I suggest without doubt Poedit.

Poedit is a free open source software, easy to use and available for MacOSX, Windows, Linux and you can download it from here: https://poedit.net/download.


Translating with POEDIT

Create a new translation with Poedit is very simple, here a step-by-step guide to help you to make it.

  1. Install Poedit
  2. Open Poedit and go to:
    File -> New from POT/PO file
  3. In the popup box that appears, navigate into WooCommerce B2B folder and select the file:
    woocommerce-b2b/i18n/woocommerce-b2b.pot
  4. When the file is loaded, another box will pop up asking for the language you want to translate:
    Choose your language
  5. String by string, enter your translation in the Translate box at bottom.

When finished, validate your translation and save the file, named as: woocommerce-b2b-it_IT. The name pattern is composed by:

  • woocommerce-b2b: the plugin domain name, usually the plugin folder name (as described in WordPress i18n standards)
  • it: the GNU language code
  • IT: the GNU country code

Use your translation

After saving, Poedit will create two files:

  • woocommerce-b2b-it_IT.po
  • woocommerce-b2b-it_IT.mo

Your translations are ready! To use them, you just have to move them into the folder:

  • wp-content/languages/plugins/

Now, go to your website and WooCommerce B2B is finally translated in your language!

The $countries parameter therefore has the format {WooCommerceCountryCode} => {ViesCountryCode} (ie: 'GR' => 'EL').
