Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureManaging wholesale shouldn't require spreadsheets or multiple apps. Wholesale Engine lets merchants approve existing customers or new applicants, assign customer-specific pricing, quantity breaks and minimum orders, accept Quick Orders and purchase orders, offer net payment terms, enforce credit limits, generate invoices, and track overdue payments with automated reminders.
Native B2B gives you companies, catalogs, and payment terms, but no way for buyers to sign up, no approval workflow, and no minimum-order enforcement. Wholesale Gate adds those three pieces. Buyers apply on a customizable registration page on your own domain. Applications land in an inbox where one click creates the B2B company with the contact attached and tagged.
- Approve wholesale buyers and show custom tier pricing on your storefront.
- Set per-SKU wholesale prices, MOQ, quantity breaks, and contract pricing.
- Net terms checkout with credit limits creates Shopify draft orders.
- Track open invoices, outstanding balance, mark paid, and cancel pending.
- Customizable wholesale registration page on your own domain
- Approval inbox: one click creates the B2B company with contact attached
- Minimum order quantity and case-pack rules enforced at checkout
- Auto-tag approved buyers for segments, flows, and discounts
