Recurring purchases aren’t just for D2C — B2B buyers rely on routine procurement cycles, bulk purchasing, and account-based billing. Shopify, especially with Shopify Plus and the right app stack, can streamline B2B workflows beautifully.

1. Set Up B2B Accounts with Custom Pricing

Use:

  • Shopify B2B (Plus-only) — Create customer-specific price lists, payment terms, and order rules.
  • Wholesale Club by Pixel Union — Add wholesale pricing, quantity breaks, and discounts without Shopify Plus.
  • B2B Login/Lock & Hide Price — Restrict pricing visibility until login for account-based access.

2. Enable Recurring Orders for Business Clients

Use:

  • Appstle Subscriptions (Free + Paid) — Ideal for replenishable supplies, raw materials, or SaaS usage-based plans.
  • Orderify or Reorder Master — Let clients reorder past B2B orders with 1 click.
  • Loop Subscriptions — Supports B2B billing cycles, payment-on-invoice, and tiered scheduling.

3. Payment Gateways for B2B Clients

Offer flexible payment options:

  • Net Terms (30/60/90) via Shopify B2B or Custom Payment Terms app
  • Shopify Payments + ACH/Bank Transfers
  • Razorpay Corporate Invoicing (India B2B)

4. Volume-Based Discounts and Tiered Pricing

  • Offer auto-applied bulk discounts based on quantity
  • Set pricing tiers for different account groups
  • Use Bold Custom Pricing or Shopify Scripts (Plus) for dynamic logic

5. Automated Invoicing and Accounting

  • Sufio Invoices or Order Printer Pro — Generate GST/VAT compliant invoices
  • Sync with QuickBooks or Xero using A2X or QuickBooks Online by Intuit

6. Account Management & Portals

Allow B2B clients to:

  • View past orders
  • Track shipments
  • Reorder based on consumption
  • Access exclusive B2B product catalogs

Use Customer Hub or custom Liquid development for portals.
