1 hour

Reply time when a P1 issue stops orders in either channel

What Shopify B2B and DTC hybrid commerce includes

Retail shoppers buy from your store at retail prices and use the normal Shopify checkout. Wholesale buyers log in to a company account and see their own catalog, prices and payment terms on the same product pages.

  • Company accounts on native Shopify B2B, with up to three catalogs on the Advanced plan, or SparkLayer when you need more
  • Catalogs and price lists for each wholesale buyer group
  • One theme and one set of product pages for both channels
  • Net terms and PO numbers on company orders
  • One inventory shared by both channels
  • ERP integration for wholesale and retail orders, if you use an ERP
  • Migration of customers, wholesale accounts and order history

Why B2B and DTC brands choose Shero

Here is what you can expect from our team when your wholesale and retail customers buy from the same Shopify store.

01

You talk directly to the team setting up both channels

Your calls are with the developers, designers and strategists doing the work, and you can have a shared Slack channel with your dedicated team. Your account manager facilitates conversations and advocates for you, and is not billed to you.

02

We agree who sees which products and prices before setup starts

In discovery we write down which products and prices each type of buyer sees, and put them in the written scope. You review that list before we start development, so wholesale prices only show to buyers logged in to a company account.

03

After launch we agree a roadmap and add new price lists and account types

New requests, such as a new price list or a new wholesale account type, move to a monthly support retainer. You decide what to add next for your wholesale and retail channels, and we plan each addition with your team.

04

If you use an ERP, we connect it to both channels

We map wholesale and retail orders in your ERP integration. We set up flows in Patchworks and write custom connectors where your ERP needs them.

05

Your team gets written B2B documentation

We write documentation for your team on managing company accounts, catalogs and price lists. For Camera Source we wrote B2B client documentation for its dealer setup.

06

We tell you whether a single store or two stores fit your business

In discovery we go through how your wholesale and retail sides work, then tell you whether a single store or two stores fit. You get a straight recommendation with the reasons behind it, so you decide with the facts in front of you.

Industrial Safety Solutions

Justrite

JustRite Safety Group is a leading manufacturer of workplace safety products with roots going back to 1906. The brand partnered with Shero to merge four separate Magento stores into a single multi-store megasite, allowing customers to shop across all brands with one shared cart. Organic traffic doubled almost immediately after launch and continued to grow steadily over the following six months.

Justrite
Towing Equipment

GEN-Y Hitch

GEN-Y Hitch, an American maker of heavy-duty towing hitches and accessories, had outgrown WooCommerce. Shero moved them to Shopify with one store for B2B and D2C buyers, a NetSuite ERP integration, and navigation organized by use case.

GEN-Y Hitch
Specialty Coffee

Valentine Coffee Co.

With an existing Shopify build that no longer reflected its premium positioning, the Milwaukee specialty coffee roaster, serving both D2C customers and a growing B2B wholesale base, partnered with Shero to deliver a full design and functionality refresh in 8 to 10 weeks ahead of the holiday season. The project included a refined dark-mode aesthetic, native RoasterTools integration, and a B2B wholesale flow integrated into the storefront.

Valentine Coffee Co.
Lacrosse and Hockey Gear

STX

Looking to scale alongside growing global markets and competitor consolidation, the premium American manufacturer of lacrosse, field hockey, and ice hockey equipment, partnered with Shero to migrate from Adobe Commerce (Magento) to Shopify, delivering a unified D2C and B2B experience, custom ERP integration, and a refined storefront that reflects the engineering quality of their products.

STX

B2B and DTC in one store

Shopify now handles wholesale and retail from one admin. We set up the pricing, terms and ERP sync that make it work.

  • Price lists

    Customer specific pricing and volume breaks.

  • Payment terms

    Net terms, invoices and purchase orders.

  • Buyer portal

    Reorders, quick order lists and company accounts.

  • ERP sync

    Customers, pricing and orders synced with your ERP.

Selling to wholesale and retail buyers? Let's plan both on one Shopify store.

Process

How we set up a Shopify store for B2B and DTC

We plan wholesale and retail together at every step.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    In recorded workshops we go through both channels: your wholesale buyer types, price lists, your retail catalog and your ERP. You get a scope with acceptance criteria.

  2. 02

    Design

    We design your homepage in Figma first, then the product, cart and account pages for retail shoppers and wholesale buyers. After two revision rounds, you sign off the designs.

  3. 03

    Development and data migration

    We set up companies, catalogs and price lists alongside your retail prices and configure the ERP integration with the new sync off. Your team checks a test import of products and customers.

  4. 04

    Testing and UAT

    We log in as wholesale buyers and check out as retail shoppers to test prices and stock in both channels. You log issues in BugHerd and sign off.

  5. 05

    Launch and hypercare

    Both channels go live on the same day. We then fix bugs from the project scope for 2 to 4 weeks, depending on project size.
