Shopify B2B Ecommerce Agency
Lumoonix helps B2B and wholesale businesses plan Shopify commerce experiences that support company accounts, buyer permissions, customer-specific pricing, repeat orders, and connected operations. B2B buying often involves more than a standard consumer checkout: customers may need negotiated terms, approved users, bulk quantities, purchase orders, and repeatable procurement workflows. We translate these requirements into a practical Shopify implementation that balances buyer convenience with the needs of sales, finance, and fulfilment teams.
Shopify B2B Development Services
B2B development can include company and buyer account setup, wholesale catalogues, customer-specific pricing, quantity rules, quick-order experiences, payment terms, ERP integration, and sales-team workflows. We begin by mapping the current order process from account approval through quote, purchase, payment, fulfilment, and reorder. The scope should distinguish what can be handled by Shopify's native B2B capabilities, what depends on the merchant's plan, and what requires an app or custom development. This prevents unnecessary complexity and helps set realistic expectations.
Company Accounts and Buyer Permissions
B2B accounts may represent a company with multiple locations and buyers who have different permissions. The design should clarify who can place orders, view pricing, manage users, request approval, or access company-specific information. Account onboarding may involve manual approval, sales-team review, or integration with a CRM. Permissions should be tested from the buyer's perspective and enforced by the platform or backend, not just hidden in the interface. A clear process reduces confusion for customers and the internal team.
Customer-Specific Catalogues and Pricing
Wholesale businesses may offer different prices by customer, company, region, contract, or order history. Shopify's native catalogue capabilities and plan availability should be reviewed before selecting a solution. Other approaches can include customer-tag rules, pricing apps, or separate stores, each with trade-offs in complexity, maintenance, and data consistency. We help map customer segments and price ownership, then test representative accounts to ensure the correct products and prices appear. The implementation should make price changes auditable and manageable for the team.
Bulk Ordering, Quick Reorders, and Quantity Rules
B2B buyers often know their SKUs and need to place larger orders efficiently. Useful features may include SKU grids, bulk quantity entry, saved lists, repeat-order templates, minimum order quantities, order increments, and minimum order values. Native capabilities have limits that should be checked against current platform documentation and plan eligibility. If a custom interface is needed, it should support validation, clear error messages, mobile use where relevant, and accessible controls. Reordering should reduce friction without bypassing pricing or account rules.
Payment Terms, Purchase Orders, and Approvals
B2B payment workflows may include due dates, net terms, purchase order references, deposits, partial payments, or internal order approval. Availability varies by Shopify plan and feature, so current requirements must be verified before implementation. We map how finance approves credit, how orders are released, how invoices are generated, and how payment status flows to downstream systems. A good workflow reduces manual follow-up while preserving financial controls. Where external accounting or ERP systems own the ledger, the integration must define how updates are reconciled.
ERP, Inventory, and Sales-System Integrations
B2B operations frequently require accurate inventory, customer records, price lists, tax data, fulfilment status, and order information across systems. We define the source of truth for each data object and the expected sync frequency. Integration scope includes field mapping, error handling, retry logic, monitoring, and reconciliation. If the sales team creates quotes or manages accounts in a CRM, those processes should be considered alongside the storefront. A successful integration is not just a data transfer; it is a reliable operational workflow with clear ownership.
Blended B2B and DTC Storefronts
Some brands sell to both businesses and consumers. A blended storefront can reduce duplicated operations, but it needs clear separation of pricing, account access, minimum quantities, payment methods, and messaging. A dedicated B2B store may offer more control when catalogues, workflows, or branding differ substantially, but it can increase maintenance and integration overhead. We compare the two approaches against customer experience, team operations, reporting, and total cost. The best model is the one that supports how the business actually sells.
B2B UX, Search, and Reordering
A B2B storefront should help professional buyers complete tasks quickly. Useful features may include product search by SKU, filters, technical specifications, downloadable documents, clear availability, saved order lists, and account-level order history. Navigation should reflect how buyers identify products, not just the consumer-facing marketing categories. We consider desktop workflows for procurement teams as well as mobile access for buyers working on the go. User testing with representative customers can reveal friction that internal stakeholders may overlook.
Implementation Process and Pricing
We begin with discovery, workflow mapping, plan and feature review, data and integration assessment, and a phased delivery plan. Development may include configuration, theme changes, custom components, integrations, QA, staff training, and launch support. Pricing depends on account complexity, catalogue rules, integrations, custom ordering features, migration, and testing. Lumoonix provides a scope-based estimate and documents dependencies and exclusions. Features that rely on third-party apps may also carry recurring costs that should be considered in the total budget.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Shopify support wholesale pricing?

Can business buyers have multiple users?
The account structure and permissions should be checked against the current Shopify B2B feature set.
Can we keep DTC and B2B in one store?
Often, but the best setup depends on pricing, catalogue, and operational differences.
Can you connect our ERP?
We can assess connector and custom integration options based on the systems involved.

Map the Buying Journey with Real Customers
Interview sales, finance, fulfilment, and a sample of B2B buyers to understand where orders slow down or require manual intervention. Document the steps for onboarding, pricing approval, quote creation, purchase, payment, and reorder. Prioritise changes that reduce friction for both the buyer and internal staff. A clear workflow map helps distinguish a genuine product requirement from a workaround that has become habitual.
Measure B2B Store Performance
Useful measures may include account activation, repeat-order rate, time to place an order, order error rate, quote-to-order conversion, support requests, and manual processing time. Select metrics that reflect the business model and establish a baseline before launch. Not every metric should be optimised independently; for example, reducing time to order should not increase pricing or fulfilment errors. Review results with the teams responsible for the full process.
