So glad that B2B is now available on lower plans than plus! But, one huge missing feature is the ability to set a minimum order for B2B. Sidekick is just telling me to install an app. I would think this would be a basic function on any B2B as we are highly discounting our product with expectation of larger orders and need to gatekeep personal ordering.

These are the peer to peer forums, shopify staff pulled stakes long ago.

For actual feature requests or support contact shopify support advisor DIRECTLY:
https://help.shopify.com/ → click “chat with human” or question mark button next to chat (as of March 2026)
Non-problem, in B2B your company-clients should already has such terms in your TOS , or an agreement checkbox etc etc. Then you do this checking on the backend, if you need it in the middle then build custom.
Avoid being a cliche it’s a trap mentality, don’t yearn for your business to be dependent only on what some other compnay maybe sorta possibly perhaps might one day put in front of you.
There’s hundreds of subfeatures for every other feature every other merchant thinks that their specific needs means is “should be a basic function”.
There’s 5 MILLLION+ merchants, shopify is one company they can’t go everything for everyone.
It doesn’t matter if you try to justify it as “basic” just because you want it.
Be real.
The api’s are there for ANY merchant to build the specific processes they need.
If you don’t want to use the benefit of third party expertise and services through apps then make an actual choice and invest in your business so you actually own some part of the process in someone elses sandbox.
Thank you for letting me know I am in the wrong space. I will submit my request.
It is not a non-problem as I’ve used Faire Wholesale for 4 years where wholesale minimum orders are standard, and have a workaround with discounting for wholesale accounts on my shopify site with a minimum order requirement. Releasing actual B2B rather than workarounds or additional cost apps to lower account levels than Plus is a big win for a smaller, fair trade brand like mine.
I would ask that you not be quite so rude and harsh to new community posters. Belittling my question and telling me I’m cliche and need to adjust my mentality makes sure that I know you do not want to help. Noted. As you are a Shopify Partner, I’ve taken note so that I do not trouble you further with any business or referrals.
Minimum order rules can definitely be part of a B2B setup, but there are some technical limitations that make this more complex than it seems at first.
Order minimums are not just simple quantity restrictions when you think about it. Shopify’s cart, checkout, and storefront behavior all need to be taken into account, which is why Shopify typically leaves this type of logic to apps rather than handling it natively. Some merchants may want to show a warning message, while others may want to strictly block checkout until the minimum is met. Currently, Shopify themes are not fully set up to handle these variations in a consistent way.
Therefore, you can handle order minimums using a Shopify app. If you only need minimum order rules for B2B customers, you can also configure them so they apply only to specific customer groups.
One option is our app Pasilobus Order Limits, which lets you set minimums and control them by customer type, tags, or other conditions. The app automatically handles the necessary storefront behavior, so setting up a minimum order rule, whether per product or at cart level, takes only a few minutes.
Here is a video showing this in action:
I hope this helps clarify why these features are not easily supported. Happy to answer any further questions. ![]()
You’re not crazy — this is a real gap. The Wholesale Channel had per-order minimums baked in, and Shopify dropped it from native B2B even though they market B2B as available below Plus.
For the immediate term, two paths:
(a) Shopify Functions with Cart/Checkout Validation if you have dev
access — the purchasingCompany query scopes the rule to B2B-only
without breaking your B2C cart.
(b) MultiVariants / MinCart-type apps if you don’t want to touch code
(you already know that path exists).
The deeper miss is per-SKU minimums on TOP of order minimums — e.g., “min 3 of any single SKU + min $500 cart” — which is what you’d want for fashion/wholesale prepack logic. Native B2B doesn’t ship that either, and the Functions path gets nontrivial fast.
Worth submitting as a feature request via the official channel — pile-on votes are how some of these gaps eventually close.
Hi @scapehart
You’re right that minimums are a basic B2B expectation, particularly with pricing that is already set up for wholesale margins. Since native B2B order minimums per catalog are not yet supported by Shopify, the work around is using two or three apps or a combination of Shopify functions and a cart validation app that stop customers from checking out if the thresholds aren’t met. You may also define the quantity rules on variant level, but this is less convenient for mixed carts. Most of the merchants using this method are leaving the minimum enforcement at checkout instead of the catalog level until Shopify develops more control for B2B.
