All you need to know about B2B on Shopify

The best of Shopify, now available for wholesale. B2B on Shopify is a suite of first-party features integrated right in the Shopify admin. That means access to advanced customization for themes, pricing, and checkout as part of your Shopify Plus plan.

Instead of a third-party app or sales channel, B2B on Shopify gives you the freedom to choose between either one online store for both DTC and wholesale (with a B2B checkout and authentication)—or a dedicated B2B store to keep your operations separate. Whichever option you choose, your buyers will have customer-specific pricing, payment terms, tax exemptions, and more. All managed within the new company profile in your Shopify admin, without complex workarounds or coding needs.

Everything you need to run your wholesale business on Shopify. The first five features are the most essential for your B2B business from day one:

  • Companies: Create wholesale company profiles with multiple locations and associated buyers.
  • Product publishing and pricing: Offer a personalized buying experience with curated product selections and price lists. This includes flexible purchasing rules, percentage-based pricing, and discounts, all assigned to a specific buyer or location. 
  • Flexible payment options: Create automated net payment terms, draft orders, vaulted credit cards and invoicing to streamline the order process.
  • B2B checkout: Show wholesale pricing during accelerated checkout based on company profile.

B2B on Shopify is the next step in Shopify’s investment in B2B ecommerce. More ongoing foundational and complex wholesale features will be released in 2023 and beyond.

Here are the main differences:

  • B2B on Shopify is built right into the core Shopify admin. That means everything you love about your DTC online store is now available for B2B selling.
  • You can now operate a blended online store for both B2B and DTC customers. They place orders through the same store, but B2B customers authenticate themselves by email address before seeing buyer-specific information, pricing, and payment terms.
  • With access to APIs, you can connect your wholesale store to your ERP, CRM, or other systems you rely on.

New purpose-built B2B features like company profiles allow you to properly represent the companies you sell to and offer a buying experience customized for B2B.

Absolutely, integrations all the way. We’re working with global ERP partners so that businesses like yours can integrate their essential business data and start selling wholesale fast. You can also connect your ERP through Shopify APIs.
