Boost ecommerce with advanced marketing.
Virto Commerce delivers out-of-the-box shopping cart capabilities built on the latest LTS .NET edition, so you can focus on the complexity of enterprise B2B buying.
Besides core cart functionality, you can leverage AI features, commerce analytics, A/B testing, and other .NET functionality that allow you to keep up with trends in the evolving ecommerce market.
Checkout is one of the most essential spots for integration and extensibility in enterprise B2B ecommerce where approvals, contract pricing, and organization account structures make it far more complex.
Modular Virto Atomic Architecture™ allows businesses to easily establish their business processes using extensions and workflows from Virto Commerce and third-party developers—no vendor lock-in.
Along with the default cart functionality, Virto’s .NET shopping cart comes with organizational buying scenarios (multi-user cart, requisition lists) that SaaS platforms typically can't handle without heavy customization.
Built on .NET 10, Virto’s cart naturally supports complex B2B scenarios—from large enterprises to organizations with highly specific or non-standard operating models—as a part of Virto's fully composable .NET Commerce Platform.

The most widely used shopping cart platforms include Magento, Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and Wix. Each targets different business sizes and models.
For B2B ecommerce, specifically on the Microsoft stack, Virto Commerce is a top-rated option. It is built on .NET 10 as a part of the Commerce Innovation Platform and cart stands apart from B2C-focused platforms with native support for approval workflows, contract-based pricing, multi-cart, and requisition lists—all within a composable, headless, API-first architecture designed for enterprise scale.
.NET is Microsoft's enterprise-grade framework—backed, maintained, and continuously updated by Microsoft. For B2B ecommerce specifically, it offers built-in support for the security, scalability, and complex workflow requirements that enterprise purchasing demands: role-based access, multi-layered pricing, high-volume catalog handling, and seamless integration with ERP and CRM systems.
.NET supports multiple languages and is natively integrated with the Microsoft ecosystem—including Azure and Dynamics 365—making it the natural choice for enterprises already operating within that environment.
At the most basic level, shopping carts fall into three categories: open source, ready-made (SaaS), and custom-built. Open-source platforms like Virto Commerce give you full code access and maximum flexibility. Ready-made platforms like Shopify are faster to deploy but offer limited customization that’s more suitable to B2C, rather than complex B2B workflows. Custom-built carts offer full control but come with the highest development and maintenance cost.
There is, however, a fourth approach worth considering for enterprise B2B: a composable cart—built as an independently deployable Packaged Business Capability (PBC). This is how Virto's cart works within the Commerce Innovation Platform, allowing teams to customize and scale the cart without touching unrelated system components.
As with the ASP.NET vs. ASP.NET Core distinction, "ASP.NET shopping cart" is a term you'll still encounter, but the underlying technology has moved on. Today's standard is .NET 10 LTS—the framework powering Virto's cart.
