Softminal launches B2B Suite for WooCommerce

Softminal published a technical explanation and launch notice for its Softminal B2B Suite for WooCommerce, a plugin designed to avoid common B2B pricing and checkout failures. The suite enforces a single pricing resolver pipeline so all price computations follow one deterministic path, stores B2B data in dedicated smb2b_ tables instead of wp_postmeta, and ensures compatibility with WooCommerce HPOS (High Performance Order Storage) and Cart & Checkout Blocks via WC_Order CRUD and the Store API. A free version provides a single-group wholesale channel; a Pro tier adds organizational and accounting features (companies, credit ledger, quotes, EU VIES VAT validation, webhooks). The plugin is available on WordPress.org and at b2bsuitewp.com.

• Softminal released Softminal B2B Suite for WooCommerce and published technical details about its design.
• The plugin enforces a single Pricing\Resolver pipeline so price mutation follows a fixed, deterministic order.
• B2B data (pricing rules, companies, quotes, credit) is stored in dedicated smb2b_ database tables rather than wp_postmeta.
