Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
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.
Trade Account Checkout adds B2B and wholesale checkout fields to Shopify Plus. Customers enter a trade account number, PO number, VAT/tax ID, ABN, EIN, or buying-group reference at checkout - each with a label, helper text, and validation. Each value is saved to the Shopify order as a metafield and auto-tagged, so you can filter, export, invoice, and fulfill faster.
- 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)
- Capture account number, PO, and business details at checkout.
- Show fields when business buyers opt in, or display them to everyone.
- Add multiple fields, each with your own label and required toggle.
- Validate any field with a custom regex pattern you control.
