About

Now Commerce is a web-based B2B eCommerce portal with built-in QuickBooks integration. It allows wholesalers, manufacturers, and distributors to manage orders from their wholesale accounts and other B2B customers from a single web-based dashboard. As orders come in, they're added to QuickBooks automatically, eliminating you manual order entry workload. Now Commerce is compatible with both QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online. Modules can be used standalone or combined to create a custom B2B eCommerce solution for your business. The B2B CUSTOMER PORTAL enables your wholesale accounts and other B2B customers to enter orders online through your branded portal. The SALES REP PORTAL lets your sales reps enter orders online for their assigned accounts and provide customer service from anywhere. The SHIPMENTS MANAGER sends shipment requests from QuickBooks to your 3PL provider or in-house shipping software and records confirmations of completed shipments.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • After extensive research to find the best software compatible with QuickBooks, I found that Now Commerce offers the most robust functionality and features. One of the standout aspects is the ability to create customized order forms for our clients, which has been incredibly helpful in streamlining our processes. The software is user-friendly, making it easy to navigate and manage daily operations without complications. Additionally, the customer service is exceptional. Every time I reach out for assistance, they either answer immediately or return my call very quickly. Their team consistently resolves any issues while I’m still on the phone, ensuring that I can get back to work without delay.
  • Easy to use way to interface QuickBooks Desktop to our 3PL. Staff is responsive to all customer service needs.
  • The customer service agents are extremely helpful and dedicated in helping with all your company needs. The program also integrates into the accounting software which allows your company to be more efficient and eliminates the extra data entry time with invoices. The design of the product is simple and easy to use on all devices.
  • Perfectly integrated with QB's. Saves us an enormous amount of time processing customer's orders. Our customers can access almost real time inventory.
  • Customer support is the best. Very knowledgeable and quick to resolve issues. Never have had any down time or technical problems.

Cons

  • None. My only regret is that I didn't find Now Commerce sooner.
  • As of last time I checked (2024), they did not have a QuickBooks Online solution.
  • No cons, once set up the system runs itself. Possibly a dedicated app that can be used on a iOS device for a one click icon
  • The cons actually originate with QB's (not NowCommerce). The web connector on QB's does not update quick enough. It would be beneficial for it to update quicker so that my customers have better real time connection to my inventory.
  • Nothing comes to mind. I have never had a negative experience.
