B2B commerce

Shopify B2B development agency in the USA, built the way wholesale buyers actually shop.

Custom pricing per company, locked catalogs by buyer group, net terms, draft orders, account hierarchies, and the wholesale-specific checkout logic that DTC brands don’t need but B2B brands can’t operate without.

In detail

What we actually build

Shopify’s native B2B (on Plus) is finally good enough for most wholesale use cases. Most agencies still build B2B with third-party apps because they don’t know Plus’s native B2B capabilities.

  1. B2B company and account hierarchy setup

  2. Custom pricing per company and buyer group

  3. Locked catalogs

    what each buyer can see and order

  4. Net terms (Net 15, 30, 60) with payment terms enforcement

  5. Draft orders and quote-to-cart workflow

  6. B2B-specific checkout

    purchase orders, invoicing, accepted payment methods

  7. Wholesale-only product variants and pricing tiers

What we build

Process

RFM (Recency × Frequency × Monetary) segmentation isn’t optional. Every brand we audit either has zero segmentation or has the platform’s default segments and never customized them. We build RFM grids tuned to your purchase cycle, then tier customers into Champions, Loyal, At-Risk, Hibernating, and Lost. Every campaign and flow segment downstream uses these tiers.

  1. Behavioral segmentation

    RFM (Recency × Frequency × Monetary) segmentation isn't optional. Every brand we audit either has zero segmentation or has the platform's default segments and never customized them. We build RFM grids tuned to your purchase cycle, then tier customers into Champions, Loyal, At-Risk, Hibernating, and Lost. Every campaign and flow segment downstream uses these tiers.

  2. Channel layering, email + SMS + push

    Channels work harder when they work together. We coordinate email for storytelling, SMS for urgency, and push for time-sensitive nudges. The Omnisend 2026 report showed SMS click rates more than doubled year-over-year and push automation conversion rates reached 22.9%. Single-channel retention is leaving 30%+ of attainable revenue on the table.

  3. Subscription optimization

    For brands with subscription SKUs, churn is the silent killer. We rebuild subscription pages, optimize cancel flows, add pause-instead-of-cancel logic, and run win-back sequences for cancelled subscribers. Typical lift: 15–25% subscription retention improvement in 90 days.

  4. Replenishment and predictive timing

    Klaviyo's predictive next-purchase date. Tag-based replenishment triggers in Brevo. Behavior-triggered SMS in Attentive. Each platform handles it differently. We build for whichever you're on

  5. Lifecycle-stage personalization

    First-time buyers, repeat customers, and VIPs don't receive the same email. Sounds obvious. Almost no brand actually does it. We tag every subscriber by lifecycle stage at the data layer and use those tags as the primary segmentation axis for both flows and campaigns.

  6. Loyalty and referral architecture

    Points-based rewards. Tiered VIP programs. Referral incentives that pay both sides. We build loyalty in Klaviyo (native or via Smile/Stamped integration), LoyaltyLion, or your platform of choice. Best-in-class brands see 5x ROI from loyalty programs.

  7. Post-purchase upsell and cross-sell

    ReConvert, AfterSell, or native Shopify Plus post-purchase upsells in the thank-you page, plus email-driven cross-sell sequences. Average order value typically lifts 8–18% from this layer alone.

  8. Continuous testing and iteration

    Subject lines, send times, segment composition, offer structure, channel mix. We run A/B tests on every campaign and quarterly reviews on every flow. Retention without testing is a one-time setup. Retention with testing is a compounding asset.

FAQs

Can Shopify Plus replace my legacy B2B platform?

For most brands, yes. Plus's native B2B (rebuilt and significantly improved in 2024–2025) handles wholesale pricing, locked catalogs, company hierarchies, and net terms natively. It's not Salesforce CPQ, but for 80% of wholesale brands, it's enough.

Do I need separate B2B and DTC stores?

Usually no. Shopify Plus supports both on a single store with proper buyer-group setup. Separate stores only make sense when the brand positioning genuinely differs (e.g. a wholesale-only sub-brand).

What about EDI integrations for big-box retailers?

We've integrated Shopify with EDI providers for brands selling into Target, Walmart, and similar. This is custom app work, scoped separately.
