Litium B2B Commerce Gets a Payment Upgrade: Briqpay's Checkout App Moves to 2.0

September 3, 2026 at 08:30 AM

Litium's approach to commerce is built on choice

Litium has spent the last several years becoming one of the go-to platforms for companies that need to run serious B2B commerce without giving up on B2C. The platform's own positioning makes that dual focus explicit: Litium serves both segments from the same core, handling customer-specific pricing, contracts and recurring ordering for business buyers while still delivering the fast, campaign-driven storefronts that consumer brands expect.

That balance is showing up in the numbers too. Litium's most recent Nordic Digital Commerce report, based on over 900 Nordic decision-makers surveyed at the start of 2026, found that 81% of companies already use digital channels for B2B sales and 93% now consider digital sales part of their core business strategy. Litium's own CMO summed up the shift well: B2B companies "no longer view digital sales as a side revenue stream, but as a central part of their business strategy."

None of that growth happens on a closed platform. Litium has built its architecture around openness, most visibly through Litium App Cloud, a marketplace that lets merchants add third-party apps and integrations without standing up their own hosting. As Litium's COO Daniel Hultgren put it when App Cloud launched, the goal is to "eliminate the complexity that otherwise arises from using multiple different providers, which is common in modern system architecture." A merchant on Litium can pull in nine payment partners, three search providers, ERP connectors and more and combine them however their business actually works, instead of being funneled into a single vendor's roadmap.

Payments sit right at the center of that openness, and that is exactly where Briqpay operates.

Why payment choice matters more on a B2B platform than almost anywhere else

Litium has written extensively about why flexible payments have become a genuine growth lever, not just a back-office detail. In one recent piece, the platform points out that up to 30% of shoppers abandon checkout when their preferred payment method is missing, and that local methods like Swish and iDEAL have grown 22% across the Nordics in just the past year. One merchant on the platform cut payment costs by 70% simply by optimizing which providers handled which transactions, without changing a single payment method shown to customers.

For B2B specifically, the stakes are different but just as high. A B2C shopper wants a fast card or wallet checkout. A B2B buyer often needs a credit check, an invoice option, purchase order matching and different payment terms depending on which customer segment they belong to, sometimes on the very same storefront a consumer is buying from. Litium's own guide on choosing a B2B platform in 2026 is blunt about this: B2B buyers expect the platforms behind their purchases to handle customer-specific pricing, approval workflows and complex organizational structures, not a simplified version of a B2C checkout.

Briqpay's role on Litium has always been to give merchants one integration that can hold all of that complexity, then let them route it to whichever payment providers, credit checks or invoicing flows actually fit each customer. As Litium's own partner page for Briqpay describes it, the integration gives merchants "a single integration" to "choose any payment providers and use rules to cost-optimize, personalize flows, or conduct A/B testing," while supporting both B2C and B2B commerce from the same setup.

What the 2.0 app brings to Litium merchants

Version 2.0 is a full rebuild on the latest generation of Briqpay's API, which is where the newest B2B capabilities live. For a Litium merchant, that means the checkout is running on the current feature set and keeps gaining from it as it grows. Here is what stands out.

A proper B2B checkout, built around the buying company. The business buyer is identified by their organisation number, their company details prefill in the checkout, and the session opens as a business session with credit decisioning and invoicing options attached. That is the difference between a B2B buyer completing a purchase in a few clicks and one abandoning a form that treats them like a consumer, and it is available on Litium out of the box.

Order management built for how B2B actually ships. Business orders rarely leave the warehouse in one go, and each shipment is captured on its own. The 2.0 app matches every refund to the capture it belongs to automatically, and splits a single refund across several captures when the returned goods came through more than one shipment. Finance gets returns that reconcile the first time, on exactly the kind of part-shipped order that is normal in B2B.

Campaigns, gift cards and tax handled the way each one should be. Discount lines, gift cards and US sales tax lines each follow their own rules through the whole order lifecycle, so a campaign order, a gift card order or a US order moves through capture and refund as smoothly as a plain one.

Long-lived carts stay ready to buy. B2B carts routinely sit for days while a buyer collects internal approval. The 2.0 app keeps the checkout available across that whole window and refreshes the payment session behind it when needed, so a cart that has been waiting over a weekend is still a sale on Monday.

One installation, several markets or brands. Multi-brand and multi-market sellers, exactly the kind of business Litium is built for, can run separate payment accounts per country or business unit from a single installation, each with its own credentials, environment and payment method mix. That maps directly onto how Litium itself recommends structuring multi-site, multi-language B2B setups.

Support gets a direct line from an order to the payment. A built-in lookup takes a Litium order or payment reference and opens the matching payment session in the Briqpay portal. It is bookmarkable, so answering "what happened to this customer's payment" is a single click for a support agent instead of a message to a developer.

Updates arrive the way any other Litium app's updates do, through Litium's own distribution channel, so merchants pick them up on their own schedule as part of the platform they already run.

What this means if you are running B2B on Litium

None of this changes what Briqpay is for. The point was never to replace any single payment provider. It is to make sure that a Litium merchant never has to choose between the providers their customers want and the platform their team wants to build on. The 2.0 app delivers on that with the current generation of Briqpay's B2B capabilities behind it, built for real order volume, real discount structures and real multi-market operations.

That is also, not coincidentally, exactly where Litium says the market is heading. With 58% of Nordic B2B sellers expecting bigger digital commerce budgets this year and two-thirds expecting continued growth, the merchants investing now in getting their commerce stack right, payments included, are the ones best placed to capture it.

Merchants already running Litium can find the Briqpay app through Litium's technology partners page or read the technical setup directly in Litium's documentation. Anyone still evaluating platforms for a new B2B or B2C build is better served starting with Litium's own guide to choosing a B2B e-commerce platform, since payments are only one part of a much bigger decision.
