Introducing Symphony Pay: Payments Built for B2B Reality
We've Worked With Stripe to Craft Something Truly Special
Multiple Ways to Pay. One Seamless Experience.
Payments are often treated as the final step in the buyer journey.
In B2B commerce, they are structural.
Most ecommerce gateways were designed for consumer checkout. Instant payment capture. Simple card flows. Minimal account logic. That model does not reflect how business buyers operate.
B2B transactions require:
• Deferred capture
• Account-based checkout
• Internal approval logic
• Multi-layer settlement workflows
• Credit terms and negotiated payment structures
When those realities are forced into consumer-first systems, friction appears. Finance teams compensate manually. Buyers experience inconsistency. Reconciliation becomes slower than it should be.
Symphony Pay was built differently.
Crafted in partnership with Stripe, Symphony Pay is a fully integrated B2B payment gateway designed around business-to-business complexity rather than adapted from retail.
It supports:
• Deferred capture workflows
• Account-based purchasing
• B2B-specific settlement processes
• Acceptance of major global payment methods
• Centralised transaction management within your commerce environment
This means payments are no longer bolted onto your platform architecture. They are native to it.
Buyers gain flexibility. Finance teams gain transparency. Operations gain control.
When checkout reflects the structure of your business, conversion becomes smoother and reporting becomes clearer.

Symphony is ISO Certified: What This Means For You
Symphony Commerce Achieves ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Certification
Security headlines are common. Certified governance is not.
Symphony Commerce has achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification following an independent audit conducted by a UKAS-accredited certification body.
This internationally recognised standard validates structured approaches to:
• Information security management
• Risk identification and mitigation
• Data governance
• Operational resilience
• Continuous improvement processes
Certification was formally achieved in December 2025. During the audit process, Symphony Commerce was recognised as operating one of the strongest management systems the auditor had encountered in recent years.
For B2B organisations managing complex pricing agreements, multi-user account hierarchies, ERP integrations and sensitive operational data, structured governance is not optional.
Security is not a surface feature. It is a discipline embedded into the way the platform is built and maintained.

Customer Voices: Real-World Examples of Exponential Growth Delivered at Speed
GSC Computers: 950% Online Revenue Growth and Multi-Region Expansion
GSC Computers outgrew their previous PrestaShop platform. What they required was not cosmetic improvement but structural capability.

• Over 950% growth in online revenue

“We’ve gone from a single online store to a multi-region operation with real-time data sync and automated order handling thanks to Symphony’s Tempus platform. It’s the technology that keeps everything connected across our UK and Irish sites, ensuring consistency, control, and confidence as we grow.”

Interview With Our CRO: Symphony’s Strategic Approach to Ecommerce Migration
How Symphony Commerce Upgrades a Software Switch into True B2B Growth
Featuring Stewart Reynolds, Chief Revenue Officer
Migration is often delayed due to perceived risk.
But stagnation has its own cost.
In this detailed interview, Stewart Reynolds explains how Symphony approaches migration as a structured, business-aligned transformation.
He addresses:
• Why businesses outgrow their platforms
• Misconceptions around downtime and disruption
• How Symphony’s four-phase roadmap reduces operational risk
• The hidden cost of remaining on rigid infrastructure
Migration is not about switching software. It is about unlocking scalability.

Our Latest Platform Enhancements
Upgrades for Structured Complexity
Modern B2B commerce is not just about product and price. It is about governance.
The latest Symphony platform enhancements strengthen how product visibility, spending control and internal approval hierarchies operate inside your commerce environment.
These are structural upgrades, not cosmetic adjustments.
Catalogue Management: Control Who Sees What
Merchants will be able to create multiple product catalogues and assign them to specific customers or companies.
This provides full control over:
• Which products individual customers can view
• Which SKUs are restricted by account
• Segment-based product visibility rules
• Guest user experiences through a defined Default catalogue
A Default catalogue can be configured for guest visitors and registered users who do not yet have a catalogue assigned.
For businesses managing restricted assortments, negotiated ranges or differentiated pricing environments, catalogue control becomes native rather than improvised.
Product governance becomes precise.
Budgets by User Level and Category: Spending Control Built Into Commerce
Business Customer users with the Manage Users permission will be able to configure budgets at:
• Company level
• Individual user level
Budgets can be defined across:
• Overall order value
• Specific product categories
• Individual SKUs
• Brand-based rules
When an order exceeds the assigned budget:
• The order cannot be placed, or
• An approval will be required, depending on the company’s configuration
This ensures financial discipline without restricting operational flexibility.
Commerce mirrors organisational structure rather than bypassing it.
Improved Order Approvals, Roles, Teams and Hierarchy: Real-World Structure, Reflected Digitally
Business Customer users will be able to define role hierarchies by assigning parent roles, enabling structured approval chains within their organisation.
They will also be able to:
• Create internal teams
• Map approval flows to organisational structure
• Assign orders based on team logic
• Use a new “Review Basket” permission for soft approval workflows
This creates clearer accountability, scalable approval logic and better alignment with how procurement processes function in reality.
Digital commerce should reflect the business it supports.
