How it sells itself

Manual order entry slows down wholesale operations and creates risk for billing errors. Our application converts incoming B2B purchase orders directly into actionable Shopify draft orders. By capturing purchase order details from emails, PDF documents, and spreadsheets, the system automatically matches line items against your Shopify product catalog and applies your standard product settings.

OrderCadence helps Shopify B2B merchants automate standing orders without rebuilding them each week or month. Select a company location, products and quantities, then schedule weekly, every-two-week or monthly runs. Create drafts for review or normal unpaid orders using Shopify payment terms.

Key points
  • Match buyers, locations, and SKUs to your B2B catalog
  • Resolve price mismatches and ambiguous product matches in one review queue.
  • Flag price, quantity, variant, and buyer-detail issues
  • Remember approved buyer SKU mappings for future orders
  • Schedule weekly, every-two-week or recurring B2B draft orders
  • Select company locations, contacts, products and quantities
  • Review every generated order as a Shopify draft before sending
  • Pause, resume, skip, edit or run schedules at any time
