6. Approved Item Swap BigCommerce App

Approved Item Swap automatically replaces restricted products with similar approved items before checkout. Ideal for B2B distributors and government suppliers who need to manage product restrictions and contract agreements without disrupting the buying experience. Some buyers must follow strict product guidelines. Instead of blocking restricted items, this app helps customers complete their purchase with a compliant substitute — keeping sales flowing and buyers satisfied.

App Features

• One-to-one mapping of restricted items to approved substitutes
• Configurable replacement logic in the BigCommerce backend
• Front-end alerts via modal, banner, or redirect
• Customer confirmation before substitution
• Works with B2B Edition and custom pricing rules

Businesses selling to regulated or contract-based customers often face challenges of balancing product visibility with purchase compliance. Approved item swap can help overcome those challenges by ensuring restricted products don’t interrupt the buying process.

7. SmartParts Finder BigCommerce App

SmartParts Finder enhances your store’s search experience by letting customers search within a specific product category or subset — like ink cartridges or replacement filters — instead of your entire catalog.

App Features:

• Configurable by storefront (B2B, B2C, or both)
• Works together with BigCommerce search (does not replace)
• Uses custom metafields for targeted product data
• Results redirect to a filtered results page• Focused category-specific search (e.g., ink cartridges, replacement filters, or spare parts)

For stores with tens of thousands of SKUs, standard search can overwhelm customers with too many results. Pre-targeted item search through Anchor Group’s SmartPart Finder app narrows that focus, helping users quickly find the exact part or replacement they need.

8. Compliance Certification Product Finder BigCommerce App

Compliance Certification Product Finder helps buyers locate certified products instantly—without wading through endless filters or search results. Built for BigCommerce B2B Edition, it’s perfect for manufacturers and distributors with compliance-driven catalogs. This search tool improves user experience and ensures customers find products that meet their specific certification or contract requirements.

App Features

• Certification-based product search using BigCommerce metafields
• Configurable placement (homepage, category page, or custom section)
• Results can redirect or display dynamically in real time
• Works seamlessly with both B2B and B2C storefronts
• Customizable to your unique certifications or compliance logic

For many B2B companies, compliance isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of doing business. When customers can instantly find products that meet required certifications, it builds trust, reduces order errors, and reinforces your brand as an expert in their industry.

9. Tax Exempt Auto-Approval

The Tax Exempt Auto-Approval App for BigCommerce automates how your store verifies and approves tax-exempt customers. Built for BigCommerce B2B Edition, it instantly applies tax-exempt status for approved email domains—reducing manual reviews, preventing errors, and ensuring accurate order processing for government, nonprofit, and education customers.

App Features

• Automated approval for verified tax-exempt email domains
• Merchant-configurable whitelist for domain management
• Customizable manual review process (email or dashboard alert)
• Works exclusively with BigCommerce B2B Edition
• ERP synchronization for existing tax status (e.g., NetSuite)
• Fully supported as part of Anchor Group’s custom BigCommerce apps

Manual tax-exempt verification slows down orders and increases risk for merchants managing high-volume B2B transactions. The Tax Exempt Auto-Approval App automates that process, allowing approved organizations to be verified instantly while still giving merchants control for manual reviews when needed. It’s a modern, reliable way to handle tax-exempt workflows in BigCommerce.
