The B2B wholesale problem

Manual B2B kills your team before it scales your revenue

Most B2B programs run on email, spreadsheets, and custom invoices. Every new trade account adds 8 to 14 hours of overhead. Shopify Plus B2B removes the manual layer entirely.

Manual B2B: 8 to 14 hours of operations overhead per new trade account
The old B2B workflow
Manual, fragmented, slow
  • Pricing negotiated by email, then manually applied per order
    Each buyer gets a custom quote. No self-serve.
  • Orders placed by phone, fax, or a separate wholesale form
    Sales reps transcribe orders manually into the system.
  • Net terms tracked in a spreadsheet, invoices sent manually
    Collections require a dedicated operations resource.
  • Approval workflows done by forwarding emails to managers
    No audit trail. Orders lost in inboxes.
  • B2B and DTC run on separate platforms, separate inventory
    Double the tools, double the errors, double the cost.

Company Setup and Account Configuration

Your Plus org admin creates a company account and assigns buyer contacts. Each company gets its own credit limit, payment terms, and price list. Contacts receive a self-registration invite. Setup takes under five minutes per company, with no developer needed after launch.

Platform architecture

Native by design, not a bolt-on wholesale add-on

B2B on Shopify Plus runs on a native data model, not a third-party plugin. Every relationship here drives what your buyers see, from their price at login to their invoice at payment. Native means fewer breakpoints and less to maintain.

Architecture advantages
Native, no middleware required
All B2B entities live in the Shopify Plus data model. No external B2B application, no API middleware, no third-party database. Your data is unified with DTC on one platform.
Shared inventory, one pool, full visibility
B2B and DTC draw from the same inventory. Oversell risk is eliminated. Enterprise resource planning sync deducts stock once per order, regardless of channel.
Shopify Flow, approval logic without code
Approval workflows trigger automatically when purchase order value exceeds your configured threshold. Notifications route to the right manager. No code, no scheduled jobs.
Custom Storefront API, headless B2B possible
If your buyers need a fully custom portal experience, Shopify's B2B Storefront API supports headless B2B storefronts with company context baked in at authentication.

B2B capabilities

Six B2B capabilities Redefine configures, tests, and launches

Not a feature list. Each card represents a tested, production-configured capability your wholesale buyers interact with from day one.

Company Account Management

Create unlimited company accounts with multiple buyer contacts each. Assign Admin or Buyer roles, set spend limits, and manage every B2B relationship from one Plus admin. No third-party CRM needed. You add trade accounts without adding ops headcount.

Unlimited companiesMulti-contact

Custom B2B Price Lists

Build tiered price lists for every segment, retail, trade, wholesale, and distributor. Prices apply per-variant with percentage discounts or fixed amounts. Each company account auto-loads its assigned price list at checkout. No coupon codes, no public sales, no pricing errors.

Per-variant pricingCurrency-aware

Net Payment Terms

Configure Net 30, 60, and 90 terms natively, with no external invoicing app. Due dates calculate automatically at order time. Buyers check out without a card and get payment instructions. ERP integration triggers the invoice at fulfillment.

Net 30/60/90No application required

Purchase Order Workflows

Buyers submit orders with a PO number and custom notes. Shopify Flow routes high-value orders to a manager for approval. Low-value orders auto-approve. Every PO number flows through to your ERP and invoicing automatically, with a full audit trail.

Purchase order number fieldThreshold routing

B2B Buyer Portal

Buyers log in to a company storefront showing their contracted prices, catalog, order history, and invoices. No consumer pricing shows. Reorder from past POs in two clicks. Built for wholesale buyers who order often and want self-serve.

Plus DevelopmentSelf-serve 24/7

Shopify Flow B2B Automation

Beyond approvals, Flow sends welcome notifications, credit limit alerts, tier-upgrade triggers, reorder reminders, and low-stock alerts for B2B SKUs. Zero code. Redefine configures it all during the build sprint.

Half Price Drapes

A high-volume brand served both DTC shoppers and a trade program for interior designers and commercial buyers. Both channels had to run on one platform.ent.

The problem

The trade program ran on manual pricing emails and custom invoices. Each new trade account took hours to set up. B2B and DTC tracked inventory separately, which caused oversell and daily friction.on.on.on.

Why Redefine for B2B

Why brands pick Redefine over a general Shopify agency

B2B on Shopify Plus is not a simple feature toggle. Most agencies know the company account UI. Few know how to architect price lists at scale, configure approval workflows correctly, or set up ERP net terms without a third-party app.

B2B Shopify Plus questions

Shopify Plus B2B FAQ

The questions operations leaders ask before committing to a Shopify Plus B2B implementation.

Yes. Native B2B on Shopify, including company accounts, custom price lists, net payment terms, and purchase order workflows, is exclusively available on Shopify Plus. Standard Shopify plans cannot access these features. If your current plan is not Plus and you are evaluating B2B, we can help you assess the business case for upgrading alongside your B2B implementation.

Yes, and this is one of Shopify Plus B2B's most important advantages. B2B and DTC operate within the same Shopify Plus organization, sharing one inventory pool and one admin. B2B buyers log into a dedicated company-specific storefront that shows only their contracted prices and catalog. DTC customers see your standard public store. No separate platform, no synced inventory, no double maintenance.

Shopify Plus supports unlimited company accounts within your organization. Each company can have multiple buyer contacts, each with their own login and optional spend limit. Whether you have 20 trade accounts or 2,000, the architecture scales without additional cost per company. Price list complexity (number of unique lists, variant count per list) is where planning matters most at scale, which Redefine scopes in discovery.

Yes, both natively. Buyers enter a PO number at checkout. It flows through to the order record, ERP sync, and invoicing. Net payment terms (Net 30, 60, 90, or custom) are configured per company account. Buyers complete checkout without a credit card and receive payment instructions. Due dates are calculated automatically and visible in the company portal order history.

A focused B2B configuration engagement, company accounts, price lists, net terms, approval workflows, and buyer portal setup, runs 4 to 8 weeks depending on the number of price lists, integration complexity (ERP connection for net terms), and buyer portal customization requirements. If B2B is part of a broader Shopify Plus development engagement, it is scoped within the 12-week delivery timeline.
