Payment Terms Due Date Display for Customer Accounts
The Opportunity
An app that surfaces order payment terms and due dates inside customer account pages so buyers can see when invoices are due without contacting support. It would mirror the due date information merchants already see in Shopify admin.
"Merchants using payment terms need customers to see their due date and payment status in their account, but Liquid does not expose a suitable variable for this."
Market Validation
Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Add customer-account widgets that read payment terms metadata and display due date, term length, remaining balance, and payment status. The app can sync data from Shopify APIs and render it in the storefront account section with minimal theme editing.
Target Audience
Shopify merchants using payment terms, especially B2B sellers and stores offering net payment options
Competitive Landscape
Very few direct competitors; some B2B portal apps and account page apps may offer partial support
Implementation Notes
Use Shopify Admin API or Storefront API to retrieve order payment terms, due dates, and payment status, then expose them via an app block or customer account extension. Cache results for performance, handle legacy customer accounts, and ensure the display matches merchant admin due-date logic.
