Proceed with the instructions below to make your B2B sales via M2E Pro below.
Step 1. Navigate to Amazon Integration > Configuration > Settings > Main and enable the Price, QTY Discounts option.
Step 2. Go to M2E Pro Selling Policy, where two Selling Types will become available for you:

B2B Price
Business Price allows you to offer special rates to business customers.
Specify the B2B Price by choosing a required Magento Attribute from the drop-down.
You can also adjust your Magento product prices specifically to Amazon Business audience using the Price Change option in Selling Policy.
Once you select the price source for your B2B items, click Add Price Change. Then, choose how you want to modify the price. Feel free to add multiple price modifications for your products. Also, you can opt for Magento Attribute as a source of product price modification.
Quantity Discounts
Amazon Business program allows for creating unique and profitable business offers to your buyers. Use a specific discount system for multiple items purchased.
You can choose the required way of Discount calculation:
- Product Tier Price - the discounted Price value will be taken from a Tier Price Attribute of Magento Product. Read more detail here.
- Custom Value - the discounted Price value will be calculated as a Price from a selected Magento Attribute with a Price Change option applied.
For example, your product price is 7£, and you want to offer a discount for the purchased products with QTY >= 5. To do it, make the following setup:
Business Buyers will see the next record once they click ‘Request a quantity discount’:
QTY >= 5, price 4,75 £, where:
'QTY <= 5' is the number of purchased products to which the discount will be applied,
'price 4,75 £' is the final price per product considering the discount applied (7£ - £2,25).
VAT Calculation Service
Amazon Business program includes an ability to join Amazon VAT Calculation Service for the UK, DE, FR, IT, ES, NL, and BE marketplaces. It provides sellers with two main opportunities:
- an automatic VAT invoicing for all Channel Orders;
- displaying VAT-exclusive prices.
To use these features, you have to opt-in to VAT Calculation Service in your Seller Central Account first. Once it is done, choose the Use VAT Calculation Service option under Amazon Integration > Configuration > Accounts > edit Account > Invoices & Shipments > Invoice Uploading to Amazon:
Then you will be able to select whether M2E Pro or Amazon should generate invoices (via VAT Invoice Creation option).
VAT-exclusive price displaying
The VAT-exclusive price displaying can be achieved by using Amazon Product Tax Codes.
Choose the required Product Tax Code from the Tax Collection of your Amazon Seller Account and specify it within M2E Pro Product Tax Code Policy:
- as a Custom value;
- via Magento Attribute.
Then assign the saved Policy to the relevant Products within Settings View Mode of M2E Pro Listing (for the UK, DE, FR, IT, and ES marketplaces only).
B2B Orders
Once your Item with B2B Price is purchased, the appropriate Channel Order will be imported into M2E Pro and marked with a special label.
All imported B2B Orders can be found in Amazon Integration > Sales:
To view detailed information about the imported Amazon Business order, click on it in the Orders grid.
