What Shopify B2B gives you on each plan

Since 2 April 2026, Shopify's own B2B features are on every paid plan — Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus — included in what you already pay for. Shopify's plan page puts it in one sentence: "You can use Shopify B2B on the Basic, Grow, Advanced, and Shopify Plus plans. The features available to you depend on your plan."

So the question stopped being "do I need Plus for wholesale?" and became "which parts am I missing?". This page answers that, one line at a time.

Every line below was checked on 21 September 2026 against Shopify's own B2B help pages — the plan-features page first, and its sister pages on store customization, checkout and payment terms where the detail lives there instead. Plan tables age badly, and a tidy one with no dates on it is how three-year-old advice keeps circulating.

On every paid plan

Companies and company locations, with per-location permissions. Quantity rules and quantity price breaks — up to ten per product. Payment terms from net 7 to net 90. Payment reminders, ACH payments (US only) and vaulted credit cards. Draft order to invoice, and checkout to draft. Easy reorders, quick order list, purchase-order numbers, sales staff permissions, the Trade theme, and Shopify Flow.

Up to three active catalogs, in total: "On the Basic, Grow, and Advanced plans, you can assign up to 3 active catalogs across all your B2B markets." And they do not stretch: "Assigning 3 catalogs to one B2B market uses the full limit."

One requirement that is easy to miss and blocks everything else: "To use B2B catalog features on the Basic, Grow, or Advanced plans, your store must be using new Shopify Markets." An older store that has not moved over will find the feature list correct and the feature absent.

What Advanced adds

Contextual checkout and contextual storefront: "Contextual checkout and storefront customization through Shopify Markets are available on the Advanced and Plus plans." This is the market-by-market version of your storefront — not the B2B-versus-retail version, which is the next section.

What stays on Plus

• Unlimited catalogs, instead of three.
• Direct catalog assignment to a company or location. "Direct catalog assignment isn't available on the Basic, Grow, or Advanced plans." Below Plus a price level reaches the companies in the market it is attached to, so giving one account its own prices means spending one of your three.
• Deposits, partial payments and payment requests per fulfilment: "available only on the Shopify Plus plan."
• Different theme content for B2B and retail buyers: "Theme editor customizations by customer type (B2B and D2C) are available only on the Shopify Plus plan."
• Abandoned checkout for B2B: "turned off by default for Shopify B2B and aren't available on plans other than Shopify Plus."

Two places Shopify's own site disagrees with itself

This is the part a clean table would hide, and it is the part most likely to cost you money.

Quantity rules and volume pricing. Shopify's May 2024 announcement of its wholesale theme calls these "exclusive to Plus", and the theme store listing still frames them as something "Shopify Plus merchants" set up. Shopify's current plan-features page lists both as available on every paid plan. The plan page is the later of the two and matches the April 2026 change — but the older claim is still sitting on Shopify's own storefront, which is why so much third-party advice repeats it.

When Shopify Scripts stopped. The B2B volume-pricing help page says Scripts "reached end of life on August 28, 2025". The changelog says editing ended on 15 April 2026, and both it and the script editor page say execution stopped on 30 June 2026. August 2025 was an earlier deadline that moved. The date that matters is that nothing runs now — and that the same Shopify page still explains how quantity rules interact with scripts, as though they did.

And two things Shopify does not state at all, so neither will we: whether there is any limit on how many B2B markets you can create, and whether a catalog left in draft counts against your three. The word active suggests it does not. Suggests is not says.

What the three-catalog ceiling really costs

A catalog is a price list and a product list at the same time, which means your three are three price levels and three visible ranges — the same three. Spend one on "these accounts see the clearance range" and you have two price tiers left.

That trade-off shows up differently depending on what you are trying to do, so it has two pages of its own: which pricing tool to use, and what the apps cost, and showing a range to trade buyers only.

Which route is yours

What Shopivibe does

Nothing in the table above needs us. It is Shopify's own, it is included in what you already pay, and the honest first move for most merchants reading this is to go and switch on the parts they did not know they had.

What comes to us is the line under the table: the rule your plan does not contain. A minimum that counts the whole order rather than each item, a trade discount that depends on something your catalogs cannot express, a product that must never reach the retail range no matter who adds it.

You describe it the way you would to a new member of staff, and a person here takes it on straight away and has it working in your store within 24 hours — or, often enough, tells you that one of the settings above already does it.

Shopivibe solves the problem in your store and keeps what it adds maintained, including when Shopify changes something underneath. Shopivibe is free during early access, with 3,500 credits included. Credits beyond the included 3,500 cost $0.06 each.
