Why growing wholesale brands choose SparkLayer over Sami B2B

If you are exploring wholesale options, you have likely come across Sami B2B, also known as Samita. It covers the basics like custom pricing, volume discounts, and wholesale registration. But the full setup relies on multiple apps and can feel limited as you scale. SparkLayer is built for the next stage: one unified platform designed for serious B2B growth.

  • SparkLayer Benefits

    One platform. Not three apps.

    Sami's full B2B setup requires up to five separate apps. Multiple dashboards, multiple subscriptions, multiple places to configure and maintain. SparkLayer gives you pricing, visibility controls, and quoting in one unified platform. One dashboard. One support team. One plan that scales as your wholesale operation grows, not three separate bills stacking up.

  • SparkLayer Benefits

    Where your sales team actually lives.

    Sami has no rep-facing tool, forcing reps to build orders in the store admin and manually adjust line-item pricing. SparkLayer's Sales Agent Portal lets reps switch accounts, build carts, and apply correct pricing instantly. What starts as simple pricing rules quickly becomes manual work across tools, tabs, and spreadsheets at scale.

  • SparkLayer Benefits

    Built for B2B, not retail with wholesale tacked on.

    Sami's positioning is “run wholesale and retail from one store,” which works for simpler setups. As wholesale grows, you need structured quoting, CSV ordering, shopping lists, company accounts, and accounting integrations. SparkLayer is built for that from the ground up, with every feature, release, and team member focused on B2B wholesale success.

Choosing between Sami B2B and SparkLayer comes down to this: an app for the basics, or a B2B platform built to scale your business.

Customer success stories.

Discover brands using the SparkLayer B2B eCommerce platform.

"SparkLayer couldn’t have been easier to setup. B2B ordering has been on our roadmap for years, but we’ve never been able to justify the budget or time required. SparkLayer allowed us to get B2B ordering up and running in a matter of weeks with very little technical effort, and negligible cost. We were so impressed with SparkLayer that we immediately decided to launch B2B ordering in the US and are currently working on doing the same in Australia."

"Everyone at Living Proof has said that SparkLayer is easy to use and looks beautiful, and they love having all this information at their fingertips. It was very time-consuming having to manually do things before, and it’s reduced the opportunity for error as there is less manual input needed."

"When I came across Spark Layer I genuinely thought it was too good to be true, because it solved 99% of these pain points via an app utilising our existing D2C website assets. Even when the team were helping us to complete installation it felt like there had to be a catch... but it never came. I genuinely can't believe how good this solution is, offering brands an easy way to service their B2B customers without having to build anything new."

"The Sparklayer platform provides a turnkey Shopify solution granting the merchant an array of wholesale/bulk order functionality not available through the standard Shopify B2B channel. Using a cloned version of our Shopify theme, the Sparklayer team layered their wholesale-specific code into the purchasing interface, cart, and checkout of our Shopify theme, allowing Fresh Clean Tees to launch wholesale.freshcleantees.com with no additional development work. Sparklayer provided 10-star support throughout the entire process."

I highly recommend this app!"

When Sami B2B might be the right fit.

Sami B2B is a reasonable choice if you are just starting out with wholesale, have no sales reps and no plans to hire any, and need pricing rules at low or no cost. Sami's free plan is genuinely good for that stage. SparkLayer also has a free plan, but if you are already feeling the ceiling, the answer is clear.

Frequently Asked Questions.

What is the best Sami B2B alternative for B2B wholesale?

SparkLayer is the strongest Sami B2B alternative for growing B2B wholesale brands. Where Sami covers pricing basics across three separate apps, SparkLayer delivers a complete B2B platform, native quoting, CSV ordering, shopping lists, and accounting integrations, in one unified product, on any Shopify plan.

Does SparkLayer have a Sales Agent Portal as a Sami B2B alternative?

Yes. SparkLayer's rep tool lets reps switch between customer accounts, build carts at customer-specific pricing, and place orders on behalf of buyers, all from your branded storefront. Sami has no equivalent. Reps using Samita are limited to the store admin, which becomes unworkable at scale.

Is SparkLayer cheaper than Sami B2B?

Samita's paid plans run from $24.90/mo to $49.90/mo, but the full setup requires three separate app subscriptions. SparkLayer starts free, with paid plans from $49/mo. Sales agent tools are available as an add-on from $39 per agent, and the Quoting Engine is included on Pro and Enterprise plans as standard.

Does SparkLayer work without a platform upgrade as a Sami B2B alternative?

Yes. SparkLayer works across all major eCommerce platforms including Shopify, BigCommerce, Wix, WooCommerce, and Magento with no plan upgrade required. Sami is limited to Shopify only, and its feature ceiling is lower regardless of plan.

Can SparkLayer replace Sami B2B for wholesale pricing management?

Yes. SparkLayer covers everything Sami does on pricing, customer-specific price lists, volume discounts, tiered pricing, tax control, and MOQs, and goes further with a native B2B pricing layer that avoids platform discount conflicts, unlimited price lists, and catalogue-level control over product visibility per customer group.

Is SparkLayer a better Sami B2B alternative for wholesale quoting?

Yes. SparkLayer includes a native end-to-end Quoting Engine, quote request, custom pricing response, built-in messenger, and direct quote-to-order conversion. Sami's quoting is a separate app with no native conversion workflow. For wholesale brands where negotiated pricing is part of everyday operations, SparkLayer's quoting is significantly more capable.

Ready to move beyond Sami B2B?

Whether you are hitting Samita's ceiling or planning ahead for wholesale growth, SparkLayer gives you a complete B2B platform, not a collection of apps.
