See every featureShopify gives every plan B2B companies - but no way for buyers to apply. GateForge adds the missing front door: a hosted application form you link from your storefront. Applications land in an approval queue in your admin, and one click creates the Company, Location, and Contact, ready to order at wholesale terms. Existing retail customers are attached to their new company automatically.
Nordic B2B Portal gives Shopify merchants a complete solution for managing B2B applications from business customers. The app automates the entire process from application to approval. How it works: Business customers fill out an application form directly in your store.
- Hosted wholesale application form you link from your nav - no theme edits
- One click creates the B2B Company, Location, and Contact from an application
- Auto-approve trusted email domains and skip the queue entirely
- Automatic CVR and VAT validation for Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland
- Risk scoring and suggested credit limits from official business registries
- Set and track individual credit limits and payment terms per B2B customer
- Quarterly re-validation — instant alert when a customer's company status changes
