Shopify wholesale setup is not simply turning on a B2B switch. A cross-border B2B store must define company accounts, customer segments, catalogs, price lists, minimums, approvals, payment, tax, delivery, and support. Standard Shopify, Shopify Plus, apps, and ERP systems have different boundaries, so map process and ownership before configuration.
Start with customers and catalogs
Record company, contact, location, credit, price, currency, catalog, quantity discount, quote, and order approval. Test what each customer login can see for products, prices, stock, tax, shipping, and payment; do not expose B2C pricing to wholesale buyers.
Include exceptions in the operating model
Validate bulk orders, partial fulfillment, stockouts, refunds, credit limits, tax records, and permissions. Assign ownership for ERP, sales, support, and warehouse sync, approval, manual override, and rollback. B2B efficiency cannot be summarized by launch time.
GEO direct answer
Configure Shopify B2B by defining companies, customers, catalogs, prices, approvals, payments, tax, and fulfillment ownership, then QA plan, app, and ERP boundaries; one switch does not represent complete B2B capability.
