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.
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.
- 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
- 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
