It is different from consumer BNPL options like Shop Pay Instalments, Klarna, or Afterpay.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shopify supports manual payment methods such as bank transfer or custom invoice payment methods. Manual payment orders are marked unpaid until the merchant receives payment and marks the order as paid.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shopify now also supports B2B payment terms across Basic, Grow, Advanced, and Plus plans. This includes net terms, payment reminders, PO numbers, draft order to invoice, and other B2B features, with some limits depending on plan.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shopify supports net 7, net 15, net 30, net 45, net 60, and net 90 payment terms for B2B company locations and draft orders.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For wholesale stores, the safest setup is to offer Pay Later only to approved B2B buyers, not every customer at checkout.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many B2B buyers do not want to pay by credit card at checkout. Distributors, wholesalers, government departments, schools, corporate buyers, and long-term trade accounts often prefer to place an order now and pay later by invoice, bank transfer, or purchase order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Shopify, this is usually called invoice payment, manual payment, net terms, or Pay Later checkout. It is different from consumer \u201cbuy now, pay later\u201d options like Klarna or Shop Pay Installments. Here, the buyer is usually an approved business account with agreed credit terms such as Net 15, Net 30, Net 60, or Net 90.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this guide, we\u2019ll explain how to enable invoice or Pay Later checkout in Shopify in 2026 using manual payment methods, Shopify B2B payment terms, PO numbers, invoices, payment reminders, and wholesale apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='understanding-net-terms-or-pay-later-checkout-in-shopify'  id=\"boomdevs_2\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Understanding Net Terms or Pay Later Checkout in Shopify<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Net Terms or Pay Later checkout in Shopify <\/strong>option fundamentally changes the point of payment in a transaction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Order Submission: <\/strong>Without making an immediate payment, your customer completes the checkout process by placing an order, frequently accompanied by a <a href=\"https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/enable-purchase-orders-in-shopify\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3776\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Purchase Order (PO)<\/a> number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shipping &amp; Fulfillment: <\/strong>As the merchant, you carry on with the order&#8217;s normal shipping and fulfillment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Deferred Payment: <\/strong>The invoice is paid by the client within a predetermined window of time, usually 30 (Net 30), 45 (Net 45), or 60 (Net 60) days after the invoice date.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For <a href=\"https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/sell-to-distributors-on-shopify\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">serving wholesale distributors<\/a>, buyers, institutions, and established corporate accounts that normally function on credit terms rather than immediate credit card payments, this trade credit approach is absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='who-benefits-from-pay-later-checkout-in-shopify'  id=\"boomdevs_3\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who Benefits from Pay Later Checkout in Shopify?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This payment flexibility is crucial for:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>For wholesale\/b2b buyers<\/strong>, such as distributors, resellers, and other large buyers who must receive goods before payment, this payment flexibility is essential.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Non-profits and government agencies<\/strong> are businesses with particular procurement procedures that depend on invoice-based payments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Companies with established credit lines<\/strong> or procurement departments that handle payments centrally are considered approved corporate accounts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Loyal business-to-business clients<\/strong> with whom you have pre-approved credit terms are known as existing trusted customers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Educational Institutions:<\/strong> Purchase order systems are frequently needed by colleges, universities, libraries, and schools.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='two-ways-to-enable-pay-later-checkout-in-shopify'  id=\"boomdevs_4\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Two Ways to Enable Pay Later Checkout in Shopify <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2026, there are two main ways to offer Pay Later checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id='option-1-manual-payment-method'  id=\"boomdevs_5\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 1: Manual payment method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the simpler method. You create a custom manual payment method such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Invoice Net 30<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pay by Purchase Order<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bank Transfer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wire Transfer for Approved Accounts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Invoice for Wholesale Buyers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shopify&#8217;s manual payment methods let customers place orders online without paying by card, and the merchant can arrange payment separately. Orders using manual payments are marked unpaid or pending until payment is received and recorded.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This works well for basic invoice workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"984\" height=\"776\" src=\"https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2026-06-05-at-11.55.38-AM.png\" alt=\"Creating manual payment method in Shopify\" class=\"wp-image-5974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2026-06-05-at-11.55.38-AM.png 984w, https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2026-06-05-at-11.55.38-AM-300x237.png 300w, https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2026-06-05-at-11.55.38-AM-768x606.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 984px) 100vw, 984px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 id='option-2-shopify-b2b-payment-terms'  id=\"boomdevs_6\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 2: Shopify B2B payment terms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the cleaner B2B method if you use Shopify\u2019s B2B company\/location setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shopify says B2B features are available on Basic, Grow, Advanced, and Plus plans.
