The short answer

Choose TierCommerce if your prices, stock and customers live in MYOB, Pronto Xi, Options, NetSuite or another ERP and you want them connected natively, with GST per customer, multi-level approvals, AI order entry and an Australian team. Choose BigCommerce B2B Edition if you’re already on BigCommerce’s Performance plan, or you want a headless build or several storefronts with an open-source buyer portal you can customise.

Why wholesalers choose TierCommerce over BigCommerce B2B Edition

  • Native links to the ERPs local wholesalers run

    TierCommerce connects natively to MYOB, Pronto Xi, Options, NetSuite, Business Central, Xero, Cin7, Unleashed and Katana MRP. We build and maintain each integration in-house, it runs two-way and live, and every sync is logged and replayable, so there’s no middleware to manage.

  • Set up for GST and local payment terms

    Each customer sees prices with GST included or excluded, on their own payment terms. Accounts-payable users pay invoices and statements online, and every payment syncs back to your ERP.

  • AI co-workers for order entry and more

    The Order Entry co-worker turns emailed and PDF purchase orders into sales orders in your ERP. Quoting, Buyer Assistant, Sales Copilot, Accounts and Catalogue co-workers handle the rest, and your buyers’ own AI agents can place orders through our MCP server.

  • An Australian team, with your data in Sydney

    Our team is in Australia and customer data is hosted in Sydney. Our onboarding programme takes you live in about 30 days, and an implementation partner is on hand for custom work.
