Hi Everyone,

I’ve done some research, but haven’t fully found the answer that I’m looking for.

For a B2C e-commerce store, what is the best way to implement B2B accounts/registration without upgrading to ShopifyPlus without creating a different url?

What we need:

  • Trade registration on main Shopify storefront

  • Once approved, the B2B login is created and customer will be able to see discounted rates (not bundles or anything at this time).

  • If also possible, having shipping rules vs a B2C consumer (if retail customer has free shipping, but wholesale B2B customer would then pay shipping).

Is there one great app for all of this or would I need multiple apps - or is there another way to workaround it?

You don’t need Shopify Plus or a separate URL to set up B2B on your existing Shopify store. You just need a way to let wholesale customers register, get approved, and see their own pricing and shipping rules when they log in. The best way to do this is with an app that handles both customer tagging and price adjustments.

If you want an even simpler setup, you could use Locksmith to hide certain prices from regular customers and only show them to approved wholesale buyers.

Are there alternative ways to do this without apps?
