B2B wholesale to cafes on Net-30, how does daily/weekly recurring work?
Three pieces wired together:
- Wholesale catalog visibility, cafes register a company account, get approved, see a wholesale-only category with trade pricing (typically 40-55% off retail). On Adobe Commerce that’s the native B2B Companies module; on Open Source it’s Aheadworks B2B Suite or Amasty Company Accounts + customer-group price rules + hidden categories.
- Standing-order schedule, the cafe sets “24 croissants every Tuesday + Friday at 7am pickup” once. Magento + a subscription / recurring-order extension (Aheadworks Subscriptions, Bold Subscriptions) generates the order, sends the cafe an editable order email Monday + Thursday, and routes to your fulfillment queue. Cafes love this, they don’t want to re-order 6 times a week.
- Net-30 invoicing, Apruve, Resolve, or TreviPay underwrite the credit. They pay you on day-1, customer pays them on day-30. You eat a 2-3% fee but offload AR + collections + bad debt. For wholesale-led bakeries this is non-negotiable, cafes will not pay card-on-pickup for $800/week orders.
Multi-location pickup matters for cafe chains: one company account, 6 delivery addresses, the standing order auto-rotates pickup location by day. Magento ships this natively in B2B Companies; bolt-on extensions need a custom field on the order.
