See every featureShopify B2B has a PO field but blank or invalid values can still become orders. B2B PO Guard uses a Checkout Validation Function to block bad POs before checkout completes. Requires Shopify Plus with B2B and the Online Store channel. Enable Require PO in the app, then activate B2B PO Guard under Settings → Checkout → Checkout rules. Retail stays unchanged unless you opt in.
Shopify's B2B checkout includes a purchase order field, but cannot make it required or check the format buyers enter. PO Number Validator adds that control. Set your rules once, and every B2B buyer must enter a PO number matching your format before placing an order. Validation runs server-side, so it applies to every checkout type.
- Require PO on B2B (company) checkouts
- Optional format rules: prefix, length, regex, presets (SAP / US Gov style)
- Store validated PO on the order (metafield + admin visibility)
- Require a purchase order number on every B2B checkout
- Enforce PO format with pattern, prefix, and length rules
- Works on all checkout types, including express and accelerated
- Show buyers translated error messages for each market you sell in
