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.
Tradelane turns wholesale applications into ready-to-order B2B accounts. Buyers apply via a form on your storefront; you approve in one click and Tradelane creates the company, location, and catalog assignment in Shopify. EU VAT numbers are verified automatically (VIES). Optionally, new companies are set up to submit all orders as drafts for review, so every order waits for your approval.
- 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
- Public B2B application form embedded in your storefront — no theme edits.
- Approve customers in one click — creates Company, Location, and B2B catalog.
