PrestaShop B2B & Wholesale Readiness Audit

What does the audit actually walk through?

The real journey of a wholesale account, in six stages: registering as a business, with company fields and VAT number capture; getting the account approved, with manual vetting and assignment to a customer group; seeing trade pricing, with group price lists, ex-VAT display and quantity breaks; building an order, with minimum quantities, fast reordering and a login-gated catalogue; asking for a quote or ordering on terms, with net-30 or net-60, purchase orders and credit limits; and checking out with the right tax, with VAT number validation, intra-EU reverse charge and tax by customer group.

Each stage is checked against what your store delivers today: natively, with a module you already own, or not at all. The audit records the difference instead of assuming it.

What do the gaps usually turn out to be?

Prices shown inclusive of VAT to trade customers who expect them without, which is a tax-display setting per customer group rather than a rebuild. No VAT number field at registration and no intra-EU reverse charge, so EU business orders are taxed wrongly. One customer group and no wholesale tier, forcing manual discount codes.

Further down: no quote route for buyers who will not check out at list price, no minimum-order rule, so trade orders arrive below the handling threshold, and an open catalogue where contract pricing should sit behind a login. Most of these close with configuration or one targeted piece, which is exactly what the plan says when it is true.

What will this audit refuse to sell me?

A B2B theme, first of all: wholesale is pricing, tax and workflow, not a skin, and a theme rebuild bought for this reason is wasted money. Where a customer group plus a price rule solves the requirement, the plan says so instead of scoping a module, and it never assumes you need the full enterprise stack when two targeted pieces close the real gaps.

The boundary of the work is equally explicit. The audit is the assessment and the roadmap; the groups, price lists, terms and account flows are configured or built separately, in revenue order, and the plan tells you which route each one takes. Findings about VAT display, validation and reverse charge are store-configuration findings, with your accountant remaining the authority on tax treatment, and connections to ERP, accounting or procurement systems are named as gaps where they exist rather than scoped as projects.

A 14-day email window after delivery covers clarification questions, and the configuration or build work is quoted separately when you want it done.
