Way2Order

Overview

Way2Order is B2B ordering software for businesses that sell through product catalogs and manage orders from buyers, sales reps, or other channels. It is strongest for wholesale teams that need account-specific pricing and structured order exports. Because it does not process payments, it is not a complete sales platform.

Brands, distributors, wholesalers, dealers, retailers, and sales reps are its intended users. One login can serve as both a seller accepting orders and a buyer placing them, with users switching roles in the app. That suits businesses that both sell and source goods, although orders and payment collection still need separate workflows.

Orders can be entered through the web or mobile app, or received by phone, email, and WhatsApp. The variety accommodates buyers who do not order directly in software, but teams must manage several intake routes. Way2Order also supports order validation, and its maker describes Google Drive spreadsheet uploads for stock information.

Key features

Catalogs can include SKUs, sizes, minimum order quantities, photos, stock status, and multiple price fields. Sellers can set prices by buyer group and define up to 25 prices per product, a meaningful advantage for wholesalers with varied account terms. Businesses with simpler pricing may not need that flexibility.

Orders can be exported as XLS or PDF, with JSON and XML also available. Reports include itemized quantities and projections, making the system more useful for reviewing order detail and planning than a basic order-intake tool. A REST API supports integration with accounting and ERP systems, though the actual fit depends on each business's integration needs.

The maker says customer data is hosted on secure AWS servers and that it maintains custom-branded Android and iOS apps for bug fixes and operating-system compatibility. The product pages do not identify a security certification or compliance standard, so organizations with formal compliance requirements should assess that before choosing it.

Pricing

Way2Order has a free plan and four paid plans billed annually. There is no free trial. The free plan's order quota resets every 30 days from seller signup, and the maker says no new orders are received after the monthly limit until the next period begins. Paid plans use total-order quotas, so buyers with steady volume should compare those allowances with expected demand.

Lite keeps the team to one user; the higher plans add seats and progressively expand buyer, SKU, order, and custom-field limits. All paid plans remain capped at one seller. Annual billing is a significant commitment, and no renewal terms are stated. The maker's registration page currently says it is not registering new users, which blocks new customers regardless of plan. A site notice dated January 15, 2024 says the product was being rebuilt after becoming part of a US company.

Platforms

Way2Order supports web, Android, iOS, and API access. Phone, email, and WhatsApp are also supported sales channels and order-entry methods, rather than listed software platforms.

Who it's for

Way2Order is best suited to wholesalers, brands, and distributors managing repeat B2B orders with buyer-specific prices, large catalogs, or multiple order channels. Its exports and API make it a stronger fit for teams that need order data to move into other business systems. It is less suitable for sellers who need payments built into the ordering flow, need more than one seller account, or require assurance of a particular security certification.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Up to 25 prices per product and buyer-group pricing support complex wholesale terms.
• Pros: XLS, PDF, JSON, and XML exports, plus reports with quantities and projections, give teams several ways to handle order data.
• Pros: Web, mobile, phone, email, and WhatsApp ordering accommodate buyers with different ordering habits.
• Cons: The platform handles orders only, so payment collection requires another workflow.
• Cons: The free plan stops receiving orders after 25 in a 30-day period, making it a limited option for active sellers.
• Cons: New users cannot currently register, and the stated paid plans all allow only one seller.

Alternatives

Order Entry Software is the broader category to explore if Way2Order's current registration pause or limits rule it out.

Simplisales is worth considering for a smaller operation: its free plan includes 100 sales orders per month and unlimited SKUs, but limits users to manual entry, one catalogue, and one price list.

Brandboom may suit teams focused on product presentations and marketplace orders; its free plan allows product creation, presentations, sharing, and unlimited Marketplace orders, while orders outside the Marketplace are limited.

RepZio is an option to assess for sales-rep workflows, though its free Basic sales rep license has web access only and cannot submit orders.

Kladana Online Order App is another free-plan option to compare, with a web platform and a 200-item limit.

Pepperi is a paid alternative for businesses willing to contact the provider for plan details; plans can be changed, but cancellations are not refunded.

BreezeFSM is a paid alternative with a free trial.

Onsight may suit teams comfortable with per-user pricing: its Starter plan is $54 a month, billed $54 /user/mo, with limits of 1,000 products, 1,000 customers, 500 orders per month, and 5 GB image storage.

RepSpark is an enterprise-oriented alternative with a customized annual quote, 20+ internal users in its base, unlimited B2B users, and extensive platform integration.

Verdict

Way2Order is a good match for B2B sellers whose main needs are catalog-based ordering, buyer-specific prices, and flexible exports—not payment processing. Its tiered user and order allowances provide a clear path beyond the small free quota, but the annual commitment, one-seller ceiling, and current registration pause are substantial caveats. Choose it if those ordering tools fit your business and registration reopens; look elsewhere if you need to start now or want orders and payments in one system.
