The short answer
Choose WooCommerce for content-led B2B, modest catalogue (under ~5K SKUs), bounded ERP scope, and lower upfront cost. Choose Adobe Commerce for catalogue-heavy B2B (10K+ SKUs), native B2B Edition features (account hierarchies, quote workflow, contract pricing built-in), and enterprise governance with deeper PCI-DSS heritage.

Head-to-head
WooCommerce
WordPress-native commerce
Strengths
- WordPress integration — strong for content-led commerce
- Lower upfront licensing (free core)
- Vast plugin ecosystem
- Strong SEO foundation via WordPress
- Faster initial build for modest scope
Honest limitation
Native B2B feature set is shallower than Adobe Commerce B2B Edition. Catalogues above ~10K SKUs and complex quote-to-cash flows often need significant custom engineering.
Adobe Commerce (Magento)
Catalogue-heavy enterprise B2B
Strengths
- B2B Edition includes account hierarchies, quote workflow, contract pricing natively
- Catalogue engine handles 100K+ SKUs comfortably
- Adobe Experience Cloud integration for enterprise marketing stacks
- Stronger enterprise PCI-DSS heritage
- More native B2B-grade reporting
Honest limitation
Higher TCO. License costs are material. Steeper learning curve for content editors. Smaller agency pool than WooCommerce.
