Adobe Commerce for Canadian B2B Distributors

No, and we say so rather than imply otherwise. Our working day overlaps the Eastern business day, so a morning question is answered the same day and release windows are agreed in your time zone. Contracts and support are in English. What we bring is a team that has built Adobe Commerce B2B stores with provincial tax, bilingual store views and ERP sync, including the store network serving Clean Harbors across the US and Canada.

Tax rates in Adobe Commerce are keyed to the country, the province and the postal code, and a calculation setting decides whether the delivery or the billing address is used. We configure a rate for each province and territory, GST or HST plus QST, BC PST, Saskatchewan PST and Manitoba RST where they apply, and the checkout picks the rate from the delivery address. This is not tax advice.

Section 52 of the Charter of the French language requires catalogs and similar publications, which the OQLF reads to include websites, to be in French, with the French version on terms at least as favourable as any other language. Since Bill 96 received assent on 1 June 2022, business customers must be served in French as well as consumers. That means a fr_CA store view at parity. This is not legal advice.

Three things touch a store directly: a person in charge of personal information, with their title and contact details published on the site, since September 2022; privacy settings at their most private by default, so tracking tags stay off until the visitor turns them on; and a privacy impact assessment before personal information leaves Quebec, which includes a hosted analytics tool. Administrative penalties have run up to CAD 10 million or 2 percent of worldwide turnover since September 2023. This is not legal advice.

Moneris and Worldline through their Adobe Commerce Marketplace modules, Stripe where a merchant wants Interac Debit through digital wallets, which Interac and Stripe announced in February 2026, and the card gateways you already hold. Interac Online closed in October 2024, so a store still offering it has a dead option at checkout. Cash rounding and CAD settlement are configured per website.

On 30 April 2026 Canada Post released new versions of its rating, shipping, tracking and returns APIs with REST and JSON as the only protocol and an OAuth 2.0 bearer token required on every call. SOAP and XML are no longer supported, so a module built on the old API keys fails silently. We rebuild the integration on the current API and test every service level before go-live.

Yes. Stock, prices, customers and orders move between Adobe Commerce and your ERP in both directions, on the ERP's own API or its import and export formats where there is none. We have connected ERPs and accounting systems for distributors with customer-specific pricing and purchase orders, and the integration is tested with your real price lists before launch.

Yes, as a second website on the same installation with its own base currency, tax configuration and carriers, sharing the catalog and the admin. For shipments the other way, into Canada by courier from the US, the CBSA's memorandum D8-2-16 sets the CUSMA thresholds: free of duties and taxes up to CAD 40 and free of duties up to CAD 150. This is not tax advice.

Under the rules in force since 1 July 2021, a non-resident seller shipping goods to Canadian buyers who are not registered for GST/HST has to register once those sales pass CAD 30,000 in twelve months, and British Columbia separately asks out-of-province sellers to register for PST once BC sales pass CAD 10,000. When you register is a question for your tax advisor. This is not tax advice.

Adobe Commerce carries the B2B features distributors use out of the box: company accounts with approvers, shared catalogs, negotiated quotes and purchase orders. Magento Open Source can be extended to cover some of them, which costs development and maintenance instead of a licence. We put both on a page with your catalog and order volume, let the numbers decide, and say Open Source when it fits.

Individually, after a review of your catalog, your provinces, your ERP and your languages, because those four decide the size of the build. There is no price list on this site. After the first conversation you receive the website and store-view map, the integration list and an estimate against it, so the number is attached to a scope you can read.

Yes. We start with a read of the repository and the store configuration, in particular the website and store-view structure and the tax rules, because a Canadian store built on a single-website assumption is usually where the problems come from. You get a written report of what is sound, what is wrong and what it would take.
