I’ve set up a collection specifically for B2B products and want to make the payment options more flexible. I’ve already set up everything like restricting access to certain logins, hiding these products from regular customers, setting up pricing, etc. but I’m stuck on the payment method.
Ideally, I’d like my clients to be able to place an order now and pay later (it can be 100% pay later or they can choose a small payment now and pay the rest of it later). These customers are already my existing clients; I just want to streamline the process through Shopify. Is there an app or another method that could help me make this possible?
Hello @technase ,
Shopify allows the pay later option. Please check the article - https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/b2b/checkout-and-orders/payment-terms
Also, if you are not using Plus, you can use following apps:
Apruve (enterprise-level, automates net terms and collections).
Hello @technase
Shopify Plus B2B handles this natively if you’re on Plus, you can set a deposit percentage on the company location alongside your payment terms, so the buyer pays the deposit at checkout and the balance is due on whatever terms you’ve set (Net 30, etc.).
The limitation is that it’s static per company location, every order from that company gets the same deposit percentage regardless of context. If you need it to vary (new buyers require 30%, returning ones get 10%, large orders get different terms than small ones), that’s where the native setup falls short. The Payment Customization Functions API makes conditional logic possible, I built TermStack on top of it for exactly this use case.
If static terms and a fixed deposit % work for your 20 stockists, native Plus handles it without any app.
Flexible B2B payments are useful, but I’d separate payment flexibility from credit safety.
A deposit or Net 30 term answers how the order gets paid. A credit limit answers whether the merchant should accept that order at all based on what the buyer already owes.
For merchants selling to companies on account, the safest setup is usually: native B2B terms + company credit limit + checkout block when the exposure is too high.
