See every featureApproveCart helps merchants control purchases before checkout. Create custom teams for regular Shopify customers without needing Shopify B2B, or use existing B2B companies. Buyers request approval when carts exceed spend limits or match approval rules. Approvers can review requests, edit carts, and approve or reject purchases. Buyers receive decisions by email. Checkout validates the exact approved cart.
Shopify creates companies and catalogs, but doesn't control how buyers purchase. B2B Company Controls adds the governance merchants need with buyer spending limits, multi-level approval workflows, role and location permissions, self-service company administration, online company applications, and a complete audit trail.
- Require approval before B2B buyers can complete checkout
- Assign buyers, approvers, and spend limits by company
- Add product, collection, company, and location approval rules
- Let approvers approve or reject requests from customer accounts
- Assign one or multiple Company Admins per company who manage users & locations.
- Company Admins add, edit, remove users, assign roles, & map users to locations.
- Company Admins add and edit locations, plus manage users and roles per location.
- Control location status and creation while preserving order history and approval
