Why Shopify added B2B on EVERY Plan | The Unofficial Shopify Podcast
"You shouldn't have to contort Shopify to do your business. That's the point of the platform."
Shopify just opened up its foundational B2B features to all paid plans: Basic, Grow, and Advanced. Not just Plus. Samir Pradhan, VP of Product at Shopify, joins the show to break down what merchants actually get: company profiles, up to three custom catalogs, quantity rules, ACH payments, vaulted credit cards, and more, at no additional cost. We walk through the setup, talk about what stays Plus-only, and dig into why B2B was consistently a top three merchant request. Plus, 96% GMV growth for merchants already using these tools. If you've been avoiding wholesale or duct-taping workarounds, this is the episode.
