How it sells itself

ApproveCart 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.

Wholesale buyer onboarding often relies on email chains, ad-hoc forms, and manual data entry — leading to duplicate company records and lost documents. Intake B2B replaces that with a customizable public application form, a review queue with document expiration tracking, and one-click approval into native Shopify B2B Companies. The match panel surfaces existing Companies before creating new records.

Key points
  • 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
  • Match new buyers to existing Shopify Companies before creating duplicates.
  • Customize the buyer form with custom fields and required documents.
  • One approval creates the Company with contact, location, and customer tags.
  • Track resale certificate expiration and surface upcoming renewals.
