B2B Payment Terms Visibility for Shopify Companies
The Opportunity
An app that shows whether a B2B company or location has active payment terms, with a simple dashboard and tags/labels inside Shopify. It helps merchants and wholesale teams quickly identify which buyers are on credit without manually checking company location records.
"Merchants working with B2B customers need an easy way to tell if payment terms are active, but Shopify exposes this at the company location level rather than directly on the company record, making it cumbersome to check manually or in custom code."
Market Validation
Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Build an app that syncs company and company location records, checks buyerExperienceConfiguration.paymentTermsTemplate.id, and displays a clear status such as 'On terms' or 'Prepaid' in an admin dashboard, metafield, tag, or company note.
Target Audience
Shopify merchants using B2B/wholesale workflows, operations teams, and store admins managing company accounts.
Competitive Landscape
Potentially existing B2B management apps and custom agency-built solutions, but no obvious dedicated app is named in the post.
Implementation Notes
Use Shopify Admin GraphQL API to fetch company locations for each company, query buyerExperienceConfiguration.paymentTermsTemplate.id, cache results, expose bulk search and status filters in the app, and optionally write a metafield or tag for downstream workflows like order review and invoicing.
Evidence from Merchants
Real quotes from Shopify community forums
"If paymentTermsTemplate.id returns a value, payment terms are active."
"Their final PHP logic loops through company locations and marks the company as 'on credit' when paymentTermsTemplate is not null."
"A later reply asks whether Shopify expanding B2B support beyond Plus changes this solution."
"This does not change the core API solution."
