Shopify is Leveling Up its B2B Game
It’s inspiring to see the love from Shopify to the B2B space, and we’re excited to optimize and advance our client’s business with these tools.
Ambaum is proud to support a lot of B2B companies, so we’re loving all this innovation from Shopify in the B2B space. Here’s a breakdown and insights from some of the B2B highlights released last month:
- Shopify Trade Theme: An out of the box free Online Store 2.0 theme built for businesses that focus on selling products wholesale
- Shopify Markets: Grow your business by selling in other countries (both retail and B2B) and customize your theme, currency and domain names all inside a single Shopify instance
- Headless B2B Storefronts: Create headless B2B stores using the Shopify Storefront and Customer Account APIs
- ShopifyCollective: You can find products from manufacturers and wholesalers to sell on your site. In addition, you can list your products on Shopify collective and allow other merchants to sell your products. Shopify has added a lot of features in the latest Editions such as: overselling protection, instantaneous price lists, supplier shipping rates at checkout, the ability to create bulk price lists, and more
There have also been some pretty major advancements for B2B stores on Shopify Plus. A few B2B features launched for Shopify Plus include:
- Collect Deposits at Checkout: in your Shopify admin you can select customers and create payment terms and deposit requirements for each.
- Create Payment Terms in Draft Orders: this allows you to sync up with your buyers and match the terms of your payment agreement, rather than defaulting to requiring payment upon sale.
Out of the features listed above, the ability to collect deposits at checkout and set payment terms in draft orders are both useful for our wholesale and manufacturing clients. Overall, it’s very inspiring to see the love from Shopify to the B2B space, and we’re excited to optimize and advance our client’s business with these tools.
