In April 2026, Shopify expanded several core B2B tools to stores on the Basic, Grow, and Advanced plans as well. These include company profiles, B2B catalogues, payment terms, volume pricing, and self-service ordering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means more merchants can now manage wholesale and retail customers from the same Shopify admin without immediately moving to the Shopify Plus plan or building a separate B2B store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Company profiles<\/strong> are at the centre of this setup. They help merchants organize a business account, its different locations, and the people allowed to purchase for each location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>For example<\/em>, a wholesale customer may have several stores, warehouses, or offices. Each location may need its own prices, delivery address, payment terms, tax information, and purchasing contacts. Shopify company profiles bring these details together while still allowing each location to have different buying rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-notification stk-block-notification stk-block stk-22e26f2 is-style-default\" data-v=\"2\" data-block-id=\"22e26f2\"><style>.stk-22e26f2 {margin-bottom:0px !important;}.stk-22e26f2-container{background-color:#f0e7fa !important;}.stk-22e26f2-container:before{background-color:#f0e7fa !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-block-notification__content stk-content-align stk-22e26f2-column stk-container stk-22e26f2-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-22e26f2-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-cd715e5\" data-block-id=\"cd715e5\"><style>.stk-cd715e5 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:17px !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-cd715e5 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:17px !important;}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text has-text-align-left\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\"><strong>Read Also:<\/strong> <\/span><br><span style=\"color: #00d084;\" class=\"stk-highlight\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/shopify-b2b\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/shopify-b2b\/\">Shopify B2B: Build All-in-One B2B Store [2026 Guide]<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/how-to-create-private-wholesale-area-on-shopify\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/how-to-create-private-wholesale-area-on-shopify\/\">How to Create a Private Wholesale Area on Shopify?<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='how-shopify-organizes-a-b2b-account'  id=\"boomdevs_2\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Shopify Organizes a B2B Account<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A native Shopify B2B account has three main parts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Record<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Purpose<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Example<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Company<\/td><td>Holds the main business relationship<\/td><td>Northstar Hospitality<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Location<\/td><td>Represents a branch or buying division<\/td><td>Northstar Hospitality, New York<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Customer<\/td><td>Identifies the employee who purchases<\/td><td>Procurement lead for the New York Branch<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suppose Northstar Hospitality buys supplies for properties in New York, Texas, and California.

On Shopify Basic, Grow, and Advanced, catalogues are assigned through B2B markets. These plans allow <strong>up to three active catalogue assignments<\/strong> across all B2B markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shopify Plus removes this limit and also allows catalogues to be assigned directly to a company or company location. When several market catalogues apply to the same location, Shopify normally shows the lowest available price for a product. A catalogue assigned directly to the location can take priority over a broader market catalogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='buyer-roles-and-account-access'  id=\"boomdevs_5\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Buyer Roles and Account Access<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding a customer to Shopify does not automatically make them a B2B buyer.
