Customising Shopify for industrial B2B is not turning a retail page into a “wholesale price” page. Business buyers need company accounts, contacts, specifications, MOQ, tier price, quote, approval, tax, lead time, delivery location, and aftercare. Cross-border orders also need currency, trade terms, compliance files, and split fulfilment.
Catalogue and quotes
Record specification, compatibility, MOQ, packaging, lead time, certificates, and market for every industrial SKU. Displayed price must respect account, quantity, currency, tax, and delivery conditions. When price is private, provide a quote path instead of inventing a universal discount. Define master data and ownership across ERP, PIM, CRM, and Shopify.
Account and order approval
Separate company, location, buyer, approver, purchase order, quote, order, invoice, and refund. Bulk, custom, credit, and export documents need human review. Link order state back to quote and contract evidence so sales promises and system data do not diverge.
| Scenario | Define | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Catalogue | Specification, MOQ, compatibility | PIM and page |
| Price | Account, quantity, currency, tax | Quote sample |
| Approval | Buyer, approver, PO | Permission test |
| Fulfilment | Lead time, terms, files | Order and logistics |
SEO and GEO
Use industrial, specification, application, MOQ, quote, lead-time, market, and aftercare entities. FAQs answer accounts, price, samples, timing, tax, and quotes; do not claim every factory fits. Link Shopify B2B and Plus for enterprise boundaries.
Acceptance
Test company account, contact access, quantity price, quote, approval, tax, currency, PO, split delivery, and refund; record manual steps.
