// the modern wholesale engine
What is Shopify Plus B2B wholesale development?
Shopify Plus B2B development is the technical engineering of wholesale customer portals, contract pricing rules, company account permissions, and enterprise ERP integrations utilizing Shopify’s native B2B suite.
Historically, wholesale e-commerce required running separate clone stores or installing slow third-party apps that injected fragile JavaScript workarounds into the checkout flow. Shopify Plus B2B unifies consumer DTC and commercial wholesale into a single catalog and checkout engine.
FactoryJet designs and builds complete Shopify Plus B2B architectures. We configure custom price list matrices, automate Net payment term approvals, implement matrix quick-order forms, and integrate bi-directional ERP data pipelines connecting NetSuite, SAP, or Microsoft Dynamics.

Custom B2B Validation Rules via Shopify Functions & Checkout Extensibility
With the deprecation of legacy checkout.liquid files, enterprise B2B merchants require modern Shopify Functions compiled to WebAssembly (WASM) to execute complex server-side validation rules in sub-5 milliseconds.
1. Dynamic Payment Customization Functions
We write custom Shopify Functions that dynamically hide or display payment methods based on the authenticated B2B buyer’s company profile. While new wholesale applicants are restricted to credit card checkout, verified wholesale partners with approved credit limits automatically see Net 30, Net 60, or Purchase Order (PO) payment options.
2. Automated Cart & Order Validation Functions
Enforce strict commercial rules before order placement: validate that wholesale orders meet minimum tier values (e.g. $500 minimum), ensure case packs are ordered in full carton multiples (e.g. increments of 12 units), and prevent unverified buyers from adding restricted catalog lines to their carts.
3. Custom Delivery Customization & Freight Routing
For heavy palletized wholesale orders, our delivery customization functions calculate real-time LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight rates via carrier APIs, applying customer-specific liftgate surcharges and dock delivery options frictionlessly at checkout.

Wholesale Price List Architecture and Dynamic Volume Discounting
Enterprise B2B merchants often maintain complex pricing structures that vary based on annual purchase volume, geographic territory, or negotiated distributor contracts. Shopify Plus B2B provides native tools to model these rules:
1. Fixed vs. Percentage Price Adjustments
Assign specific negotiated wholesale dollar amounts per SKU (e.g. $14.50 instead of $32.00 retail) or apply broad percentage-based margins across entire product collections (e.g. 45% off MSRP for Gold Tier wholesale accounts).
2. Incremental Quantity Breaks and Breakpoint Pricing
Incentivize larger corporate purchase orders with tiered quantity breaks (e.g. 1-49 units at $20/ea, 50-199 units at $17/ea, 200+ units at $14/ea). Shopify Plus updates line item pricing dynamically in the cart grid as buyers adjust quantities.
3. Territory-Specific Catalog Gating
Restrict specific product lines based on regional distribution rights. Exclusive regional distributors see only their authorized product lines, preventing territorial conflicts between wholesale partners.

Frequently asked questions about Shopify Plus B2B
Topics

Talk to the founderB2B Features
What is Shopify Plus B2B and how does it replace third-party wholesale apps?
Shopify Plus B2B is Shopify’s native suite of wholesale capabilities built directly into the core platform architecture. It eliminates slow, brittle third-party wholesale apps by providing native company account profiles, multi-tiered price lists, quantity price breaks, Net payment terms, and custom checkout validation rules directly in the checkout pipeline.
How do custom B2B price lists work in Shopify Plus?
You can assign percentage-off discounts or fixed dollar prices to specific products, collections, or entire catalogs. These price lists are bound to specific wholesale company profiles or buyer locations, ensuring each business customer only sees their negotiated contract pricing upon logging in.
Can corporate clients manage multiple buyer locations and permissions?
Yes. Shopify Plus B2B supports company hierarchies where corporate parent accounts can manage multiple shipping locations, assign unique buyer permissions (such as Ordering Only versus Admin Approver), and set distinct purchasing limits for each location.
How are Net 30, Net 60, and credit terms handled at checkout?
Authorized wholesale buyers can complete checkout by submitting purchase orders on payment terms (Net 7, 15, 30, 60, or 90). The store automatically generates commercial invoices, sets payment due dates, and sends automated reminder webhooks when balances come due.
Blended vs Dedicated
What is the difference between a blended DTC + B2B store and a dedicated B2B expansion store?
A blended store serves both everyday retail consumers and wholesale buyers from a single storefront URL, using customer login state to dynamically reveal wholesale pricing and payment terms. A dedicated expansion store uses a separate Shopify Plus instance exclusively for wholesale, providing isolated theme styling, distinct catalogs, and independent analytics.
When should a brand choose a blended store versus a dedicated expansion store?
A blended store is ideal when you want to minimize catalog maintenance and capitalize on your primary DTC domain authority. A dedicated expansion store is recommended when wholesale catalogs have completely different product lines, distinct shipping rules, or highly complex custom quoting logic.
Can wholesale buyers use quick-order forms and CSV bulk reordering?
Yes. We build high-speed B2B matrix order forms where corporate buyers can enter SKU quantities across multiple sizes and colors on a single grid, or upload CSV spreadsheet orders to populate carts in seconds.
How does Shopify Plus B2B handle minimum order quantities (MOQs) and case pack rules?
Using Shopify Functions and native B2B rules, we enforce strict minimum order values, minimum SKU quantities, and incremental packaging constraints (e.g. must purchase in multiples of 6 or 12) without theme code workarounds.
How does Shopify Plus B2B handle multi-currency wholesale pricing for global distributors?
Shopify Plus B2B allows merchants to assign country-specific currency price lists and payment terms to international corporate accounts. European distributors see pricing in Euros with Net 60 terms, while UK wholesale clients see British Pounds, all managed within a single unified store administration.
How does Shopify Plus B2B manage tax exemption certificates for wholesale accounts?
We integrate automated tax compliance systems (Avalara AvaTax or Vertex) with Shopify Plus B2B. Corporate buyers upload their state resale certificates directly during onboarding, which automatically marks verified accounts as tax-exempt upon verification.
ERP & Integrations
How does FactoryJet integrate Shopify Plus B2B with NetSuite or SAP?
We engineer resilient API middleware connecting Shopify Plus GraphQL Admin API directly to your ERP (NetSuite, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Acumatica, or QuickBooks Enterprise). Customer contract terms, credit limits, inventory balances, and purchase orders sync bi-directionally in real time.
How do tax exemptions and resale certificates work for B2B buyers?
We integrate automated tax exemption engines (such as Avalara AvaTax or Vertex) with Shopify Plus B2B company profiles, validating state resale certificates and applying 0% sales tax automatically to qualified wholesale purchases.
Can sales representatives place and manage orders on behalf of B2B customers (sales rep masquerade)?
Yes. We configure sales representative draft order workflows and masquerade capabilities, allowing internal account managers to build quotes, apply custom line-item discounts, and send instant payment checkout links directly to wholesale buyers.
Can sales representatives edit draft B2B orders directly in Shopify Admin before payment?
Yes. Internal sales reps can construct draft orders, adjust custom item discounts, specify custom shipping freight rates, and email payment invoices with one-click Net payment terms directly from the Shopify Admin.
Terms & Scoping
What is the timeline for migrating from legacy wholesale apps or Magento to Shopify Plus B2B?
A standard B2B wholesale portal migration typically takes 4 to 6 weeks, covering company account imports, price list configuration, ERP connector development, and staff training.
Do we have to pay extra per-transaction fees on Shopify Plus B2B orders?
No. When wholesale buyers checkout on Net terms or manual invoicing, there are zero third-party payment processing fees. For credit card payments, standard Shopify Plus merchant rates apply.
What is FactoryJet’s pricing model for Shopify Plus B2B development?
We deliver all B2B development on fixed-price project scopes with clearly defined milestones. We do not bill hourly overages or take percentage cuts of your wholesale revenue.
How do we schedule a Shopify Plus B2B technical scoping session with the founder?
You can schedule a 30-minute scoping call directly with Bhavesh Barot. We will review your wholesale price matrices, ERP requirements, and buyer workflows to deliver a comprehensive fixed-scope proposal.
