Distribu vs. QuickBooks Commerce
QuickBooks Commerce is no longer available to new customers and existing users are actively migrating. Distribu covers the TradeGecko core — B2B portal, per-customer pricing, inventory ledger, API — and still syncs to QuickBooks Online as a separate accounting step.

The bottom line
If you're on QuickBooks Commerce, the decision isn't whether to move — Intuit made that for you — it's where to land. Distribu keeps the shape of TradeGecko (B2B portal, per-buyer pricing, stock ledger) and adds a modern API and a sane CSV pipeline for the migration itself.
