# Shopify B2B: Is it Finally Ready for Enterprise?

## Introduction

Historically, Shopify was a Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) darling. B2B merchants often had to use third-party apps or separate platforms like Magento. That has changed. **Shopify B2B** is now a native, first-class citizen on Shopify Plus, allowing you to run both DTC and B2B from a single admin.

## Key B2B Features

### 1. Company Profiles
You can truly model B2B relationships. Create a "Company" entity with multiple locations and buyers. Assign specific payment terms (e.g., Net 30) and tax IDs to the company, not just an individual email.

### 2. Price Lists and Catalogs
Stop hacking discount codes. Assign specific "Catalogs" to companies.
- **Wholesale Price:** 50% off retail.
- **VIP Price:** 60% off.
- **Exclusive Products:** Show products only to B2B buyers.

### 3. Quantity Rules
Enforce your wholesale logic:
- "Minimum order quantity: 10 units"
- "Must buy in multiples of 5"
These rules appear directly on the product marketing page.

### 4. Vaulted Credit Cards
Allow repeat B2B customers to keep a card on file for quick reordering, or issue Draft Orders that they can pay later via invoice.

## Distributed vs. Dedicated Store

You have two choices:
- **Blended Store:** B2B and DTC customers shop on the same URL. B2B buyers log in to see their special pricing. This simplifies inventory management.
- **Dedicated Store:** A separate expansion store purely for wholesale.

## Conclusion

Shopify B2B has matured rapidly. For 90% of wholesale businesses, it offers enough functionality to replace legacy ERP portals, providing the sleek UX of a DTC site with the complex logic required for B2B.
