B2B Wholesale Order Entry & Customer-Specific Pricing App
The Opportunity
An app that lets wholesale or sales teams create orders in Shopify admin on behalf of customers while automatically applying customer-specific discounts by collection, product tag, or price tier. It would streamline rep-assisted ordering and support different wholesale pricing rules for different accounts.
"Merchants with B2B customers need a fast way for sales reps to enter orders in admin and apply different wholesale discounts per customer and per collection without logging in as the customer."
Market Validation
Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Provide an admin-side order entry interface with customer lookup, saved wholesale price lists, collection-based discount rules, and rep-friendly cart/order creation. Include optional permissions for sales reps and bulk order editing for repeat B2B accounts.
Target Audience
Shopify merchants selling wholesale or B2B, especially those with sales reps taking phone, email, or in-person orders
Competitive Landscape
Wholesale Bear, Bold Custom Pricing, B2B Wholesale Solution, SparkLayer, various wholesale pricing apps
Implementation Notes
Need an admin embedded app for rep-assisted order creation, customer-specific pricing logic, collection-level discount rules, permission controls, and compatibility with Shopify draft orders and B2B workflows. Must handle pricing precedence, taxes, discounts, and quick search for repeat customers; if possible, support Shopify Functions or draft order APIs for reliable pricing enforcement.
