That changed on April 2, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shopify made many of its core B2B features available on Basic, Grow, and Advanced plans at no additional cost. Merchants on these plans can now manage companies, create wholesale catalogues, offer volume pricing, set quantity rules, collect purchase order numbers, and give approved buyers payment terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide on <strong>Shopify Native B2B  vs Shopify Plus<\/strong> compares the Basic, Grow, and Advanced Shopify plans against the additional B2B capabilities available on Shopify Plus and which makes the most sense for your store. <\/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: #0f0e17;\" class=\"stk-highlight\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/shopify-b2b\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/shopify-b2b\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shopify B2B: Build All-in-One B2B Store [2026 Guide]<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/shopify-plus-vs-third-party-apps\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3700\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shopify Plus vs Third-Party Apps: What\u2019s Best for Wholesale in 2026<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='shopify-native-b2b-and-shopify-plus-are-not-separate-products'  id=\"boomdevs_1\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shopify Native B2B and Shopify Plus Are Not Separate Products<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The phrase \u201cShopify Native B2B vs Shopify Plus\u201d can be confusing because Shopify Plus also uses Shopify\u2019s native B2B system. <strong>Shopify Native B2B is the collection of features<\/strong> used to <a href=\"https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/shopify-wholesale\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"71\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">manage wholesale buyers within Shopify<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The difference is the level of access included with each Shopify plan. Basic, Grow, and Advanced include the main features needed to start selling B2B. Shopify Plus removes several limits and adds more control over account-specific pricing, payment collection, checkout, integrations, and store management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='shopify-native-b2b-vs-shopify-plus-quick-comparison'  id=\"boomdevs_2\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shopify Native B2B vs Shopify Plus: Quick Comparison<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Feature<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Basic, Grow, and Advanced<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Shopify Plus<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Companies and company locations<\/td><td>Included<\/td><td>Included<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>B2B catalogues<\/td><td>Up to 3 active catalogues<\/td><td>Unlimited<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Direct catalogue assignment to companies<\/td><td>No<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Quantity rules and volume pricing<\/td><td>Included<\/td><td>Included<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Payment terms and PO numbers<\/td><td>Included<\/td><td>Included<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Deposits and partial payments<\/td><td>No<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Contextual storefront by market<\/td><td>Advanced only<\/td><td>Included<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>B2B and D2C theme customisation<\/td><td>No<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Advanced checkout customisation<\/td><td>Limited<\/td><td>Included<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Best suited for<\/td><td>Smaller or simpler wholesale setups<\/td><td>Complex, high-volume B2B operations<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='what-shopify-native-b2b-includes-without-shopify-plus'  id=\"boomdevs_3\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Shopify Native B2B Includes Without Shopify Plus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Merchants on Basic, Grow, and Advanced can now create a proper company-based wholesale setup without immediately upgrading to Shopify Plus. Here is what these plans currently include.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>#1<\/strong> <strong>Companies and Company Locations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can <a href=\"https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/shopify-b2b-company-profiles\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6021\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">create a company profile<\/a> for each wholesale account and add one or more locations beneath it. For example, a retail chain could have one company profile with separate locations for its London, Manchester, and Birmingham stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>#2 Up to Three Active B2B Catalogues<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/how-to-set-up-a-b2b-catalogue-in-shopify\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5173\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">B2B catalogue <\/a>controls which products buyers can purchase and the prices they receive. Within a catalogue, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Include or exclude products<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apply percentage-based price adjustments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set fixed prices for products and variants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add quantity rules<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create volume price breaks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Basic, Grow, and Advanced stores can use <strong>up to three active catalogues<\/strong> across their B2B markets. This is a total limit. It is not three catalogues for every country, market, or customer group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>#3<\/strong> <strong>Quantity Rules and Volume Pricing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quantity rules and volume discounts are available on Basic, Grow, Advanced, and Plus. This covers many common wholesale pricing requirements without an additional app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>#4 Automatic Discounts and Discount Codes for B2B<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shopify now lets merchants create automatic discounts and discount codes for B2B buyers. A discount can be assigned to a B2B market so that it is available only to the company locations included in that market. This can be useful for temporary wholesale promotions, seasonal campaigns, or discounts that need to apply on top of catalogue pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>#5<\/strong> <strong>Net Payment Terms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Basic, Grow, Advanced, and Plus can <a href=\"https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/how-to-offer-net-payment-terms-on-shopify\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3631\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>offer net payment terms to B2B customers<\/strong><\/a>. This allows approved buyers to place an order and pay according to the terms attached to their company location rather than paying immediately at checkout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>#6<\/strong> <strong>Shopify Flow for B2B Workflows<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.shopify.com\/flow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shopify Flow<\/a> can use B2B objects across the supported plans. For example, you could create workflows that notify your team when a company is added, flag a large B2B order for review, send an internal message when a payment becomes due, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='where-standard-shopify-plans-start-to-feel-limited'  id=\"boomdevs_4\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where Standard Shopify Plans Start to Feel Limited<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the standard-plan version of Shopify Native B2B is enough for merchants just starting or testing their wholesale demand, its limitations become more noticeable as you scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Three-Catalogue Limit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three catalogues may be enough when most customers receive one of two or three standard pricing levels but the limit becomes harder to manage when you have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Retailers and distributors in several countries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Different product availability by region<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Special pricing for national accounts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contract prices for individual buyers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Separate catalogues for seasonal customers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You would need to combine some of those groups, remove pricing variations, use another pricing method, move to Shopify Plus or check out some <a href=\"https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/8-best-shopify-wholesale-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3048\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Shopify wholesale applications.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-notification stk-block-notification stk-block stk-a432c2a is-style-default\" data-v=\"2\" data-block-id=\"a432c2a\"><style>.stk-a432c2a {margin-bottom:0px !important;}.stk-a432c2a-container{background-color:#f0e7fa !important;}.stk-a432c2a-container:before{background-color:#f0e7fa !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-block-notification__content stk-content-align stk-a432c2a-column stk-container stk-a432c2a-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-a432c2a-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-97aed31\" data-block-id=\"97aed31\"><style>.stk-97aed31 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:17px !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-97aed31 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:17px !important;}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text has-text-align-left\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Read Also: <\/span><br><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/3-catalogue-limit-of-shopify-b2b-and-fix\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/wholesalehelper.io\/blog\/3-catalogue-limit-of-shopify-b2b-and-fix\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">The 3-Catalogue Limit of Shopify B2B and How to Fix It<\/span><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>No Direct Catalogue Assignment to Companies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Basic, Grow, and Advanced, catalogues are assigned through B2B markets rather than directly to a company or company location. A non-Plus merchant can create a B2B market containing one specific company location and assign a catalogue to that market. This can approximate customer-specific pricing for a small number of accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The limitation is that the catalogue still uses one of the three available catalogue assignments. Creating separate markets and catalogues for individual customers therefore becomes difficult once several buyers have negotiated prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Limited Advanced Payment Collection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Standard plans support payment terms, payment schedules, and eligible automated payment collection, but they do not include every advanced B2B payment feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, a custom furniture manufacturer may collect a 30% deposit before production, another payment before dispatch, and the remaining amount after delivery. That workflow is more difficult to manage using only the standard native features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Contextual Storefront and Checkout Controls<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contextual storefront and checkout customisation through Shopify Markets is available on Advanced and Plus. Advanced merchants can customise parts of the experience for different markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, theme-editor customisation specifically by customer type, such as creating different content for B2B and retail customers inside a blended store, is reserved for Shopify Plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='what-shopify-plus-adds-for-b2b-stores'  id=\"boomdevs_5\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Shopify Plus Adds for B2B Stores<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shopify Plus includes the same main Native B2B system, but removes important limits and adds tools for more complex wholesale operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Unlimited B2B Catalogues<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shopify Plus merchants can create unlimited B2B market catalogues. You do not have to keep reorganising three catalogue slots whenever a new buyer group is introduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Direct Catalogues for Companies and Locations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shopify Plus lets you assign catalogues directly to a company or company location. This is one of the most important differences between the standard Shopify plans and Plus. This is much easier to manage than creating a separate B2B market for every account with negotiated pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Deposits and Partial Payments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shopify Plus supports deposit requirements and partial payments. Instead of depending entirely on manual invoices or separate payment links, more of the payment schedule can be managed inside the Shopify order workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Payment Requests Per Fulfilment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some B2B orders are not shipped all at once. A distributor may order 5,000 units, but the merchant may fulfil the order in several batches. Shopify Plus can support payment requests linked to each fulfilment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>More Checkout Control<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shopify Plus provides more advanced checkout customisation through Shopify Extensions and checkout APIs. Core features such as purchase order numbers and payment terms are already available without Plus. The value of Plus becomes clearer when checkout needs to follow business-specific rules beyond Shopify\u2019s standard options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Broader Enterprise Capabilities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A merchant may upgrade to Shopify Plus for reasons that go beyond wholesale pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plus also includes or supports:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Higher integration and API capacity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More advanced staff and permission controls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nine expansion stores<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unlimited staff accounts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Priority support<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Advanced discount and checkout capabilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additional development and testing resources<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More support for complex international operations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The first 20 Shopify POS Pro locations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These capabilities matter when the business has several internal teams, high order volumes, ERP integrations, multiple storefronts, or more demanding development requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr
