Is Shopify limited for B2B? What does it lack vs Magento B2B?

Shopify Plus B2B has improved a lot since 2023 but still has real gaps vs Magento Adobe Commerce B2B:

  • Quote workflow, Magento native (request-quote, negotiate, convert to order). Shopify B2B requires Plus + a third-party app (Sparklayer, B2B Wave) with limits on multi-step approvals.
  • Requisition lists, Magento native, including "share with company" and recurring orders. Shopify can fake it with draft orders but no native UI.
  • Tiered customer-specific pricing, Magento handles unlimited price tiers per customer + per SKU. Shopify B2B handles company-level price lists but tiered-by-quantity pricing per customer is awkward.
  • Net-30 / payment terms, both support, but Magento allows custom terms per customer (Net-15, Net-45, Net-60); Shopify B2B has fixed buckets.
  • Approval workflows, Magento allows multi-level (e.g. requester → manager → finance) approvals; Shopify B2B is single-level.

Verdict: if B2B is >30% of revenue with complex workflows, Magento wins. If B2B is <30% with standard "wholesale price + Net-30" mechanics, Shopify Plus B2B is now genuinely good enough.
