Embed. Anywhere.
SparkLayer Ignite brings SparkLayer’s B2B ordering and SparkLayer Pulse to a custom or headless store. Keep the website you have and add the wholesale operating layer.
- Custom and headless websites
- Brands whose ERP runs the business
B2B on the website you already have.
If your platform can’t deliver the B2B experience your customers expect, you don’t have to build one. Send SparkLayer your products, customers and B2B pricing, switch on SparkLayer’s ready-made interfaces and your website becomes your B2B store.
Works on any website.
If SparkLayer can read your product and customer data, you’re ready to start.
Live quickly.
The integration is small, so your team or agency can implement and deploy it quickly.
The full SparkLayer experience.
Your customers get SparkLayer’s B2B ordering experience. Your sales reps get SparkLayer Pulse.
Connect your data.
Beyond core product and customer data, there is little else to sync. Our team scopes the rest with you from our playbook for connecting an ERP, CRM or PIM.

What is the difference between SparkLayer Ignite and your other integrations?
You can use SparkLayer in one of two ways:
1. If you're using an eCommerce platform we support (e.g. Shopify), you can use our pre-built integrations to get up and running
2. If you're NOT using an eCommerce platform we support, you can use SparkLayer Ignite to enable your B2B functionality.
This brings a number of benefits, not least in removing the need to replatform. It also gives you the flexibility to enable our B2B feature-set in the way you want by tightly integrating into both your website and your existing systems (e.g. ERP, CRM, PIM, etc).
What use cases are there for SparkLayer Ignite?
The most common use case is to use SparkLayer Ignite alongside a complementary eCommerce platform or content management system (CMS). For example, your eCommerce platform may have very limited B2B eCommerce functionality and it's not viable to build it natively.
By connecting your eCommerce website or platform to SparkLayer Ignite, you've now got world-class B2B functionality without all the headaches complex integrations and custom developments typically bring.
Why should I use SparkLayer Ignite?
The first step is to book a call with our team and we'll walk you through what SparkLayer Ignite is and the benefits it can bring. Here's why it could be a good fit for you:
1. It can enable B2B eCommerce on your current website without you needing to replatform or create a secondary website
2. It can turn a non-transactional website into a transactional one, purely for B2B customers
3. You'll benefit from a rapid speed to market, on the basis that you can use your existing website
4. You'll benefit from constant innovation, with our team consistently releasing new features to improve the B2B customer experience
5. You'll be able to consolidate your B2B data within your back-office systems (e.g. ERP, CRM) by integrating closely with these.
