TierCommerce vs Unleashed B2B Store
Keep Unleashed. Choose the B2B store that runs on it.
The B2B Store is Unleashed’s own add-on for taking trade orders online, built into the Unleashed inventory system from The Access Group. TierCommerce runs on Unleashed too, through a native integration: products, stock by warehouse, sell price tiers and customer pricing come from Unleashed, and sales orders and quotes go back to it. Either way, Unleashed stays your inventory system. The choice is which B2B store your trade customers use.
The short answer
Choose TierCommerce if you run Unleashed and your trade customers need buyer sub-users and approvals, quotes, PunchOut, AI entry of emailed POs, GST shown per customer and themes and branding you control, set up by an Australian team. Choose the Unleashed B2B Store if your customers mostly reorder from a set range and you want the simplest, lowest-cost option, from A$119 a month inside your Unleashed subscription.

Why wholesalers choose TierCommerce over Unleashed B2B Store
-
Unleashed stays your source of truth
TierCommerce reads products, stock by warehouse, sell price tiers and customer pricing from Unleashed, and follows the same pricing hierarchy, so the price a buyer sees is the price on the sales order. Orders and quotes go back to Unleashed, every write is idempotent, and every sync is logged so you can see what moved and replay it.
-
Accounts that run themselves
Head users add and manage their own sub-users, including accounts-payable users who pay invoices and statements online. Multi-level approvals, quotes that convert to orders and round-trip PunchOut with cXML and OCI are part of the platform.
-
AI co-workers with an exception queue
The Order Entry co-worker turns emailed and PDF POs into Unleashed sales orders and shows a confidence level for each one, so anything unclear lands in an exception queue for your team. Quoting, Buyer Assistant, Sales Copilot, Accounts and Catalogue co-workers cover the rest, and buyers’ AI agents can order through our MCP server.
-
GST, local support and Sydney hosting
Show prices inclusive or exclusive of GST for each customer, and add custom fields and extra line items from the platform itself. You work with an Australian team, customer data is hosted in Sydney, and our onboarding programme is built to get you live in about 30 days.
When Unleashed B2B Store might suit you better
Unleashed B2B Store is a good product. It can be the better choice if:
- You want the simplest, lowest-cost way to take trade orders online, from A$119 a month on top of your Unleashed plan, with no separate platform to connect.
- Your customers mostly reorder from a set range, and favourites, standing orders, CSV order import and card payments through Stripe cover what they need.
- You’d rather keep your store, inventory and support under one Unleashed subscription, with orders landing in Unleashed without a separate integration.

TierCommerce vs Unleashed B2B Store questions
Is TierCommerce a good Unleashed B2B Store alternative?
Yes, if you run Unleashed and your trade customers need more than reordering. TierCommerce adds buyer sub-users and multi-level approvals, quotes, PunchOut, AI order entry, online invoice payments and GST shown per customer, with Sydney hosting and an Australian team. If your customers mostly reorder from a set range and you want the lowest-cost option, the Unleashed B2B Store may suit you better.
Do I have to stop using Unleashed?
No. Unleashed is one of TierCommerce’s native integrations, so Unleashed stays your inventory system and your team keeps working in it as they do today. TierCommerce replaces only the B2B Store your customers order from, and sales orders still arrive in Unleashed ready to fulfil.
How does TierCommerce pricing compare with the Unleashed B2B Store?
Unleashed’s Australian pricing page lists the B2B eCommerce Store from A$119 a month, excluding taxes, as an optional add-on to Unleashed Core (A$449 a month) or Pro (A$819 a month). TierCommerce’s Essentials plan starts from A$500 a month and Professional from A$1,500, excluding GST, priced on the trade accounts that actually order online. Unleashed is one of the native ERP and MRP integrations in the Professional plan, and Enterprise is quoted for your business. With either option, you keep paying for your Unleashed plan.
Will customers see the same prices they get in Unleashed?
Yes, on both. Unleashed says its customer pricing hierarchy also applies to prices in the B2B Store. TierCommerce follows the same hierarchy: customer pricing first, then quantity pricing, then the customer’s sell price tier and discount, then the default sell price.
Does the Unleashed B2B Store support PunchOut or AI order entry?
Neither is mentioned on Unleashed’s B2B Store pages or in its help centre. Customers can import an order from a CSV file of up to 500 rows. TierCommerce supports round-trip PunchOut with cXML and OCI, and its Order Entry co-worker turns emailed and PDF POs into Unleashed sales orders, with anything unclear sent to an exception queue.
Can trade customers pay invoices online?
Unleashed’s help centre describes card payments through Stripe at checkout, with customers set to On Account or Pre-Paid, but doesn’t describe paying existing invoices online. Unleashed connects to Xero for accounting, and TierCommerce connects to Xero natively too, so accounts-payable users can see and pay open invoices and statements online.
