Shopify B2B & Wholesale

await client.request(COMPANY_CREATE, {
  variables: {
    input: {
      company: { name: "Acme Wholesale Inc", note: "Tier 1 partner" },
      companyContact: { email: "[email protected]", firstName: "Jane", lastName: "Doe" },
      companyLocation: {
        name: "Headquarters",
        billingAddress: { address1: "123 Commerce St", city: "Austin", provinceCode: "TX", countryCode: "US", zip: "78701" },
        shippingAddress: { address1: "123 Commerce St", city: "Austin", provinceCode: "TX", countryCode: "US", zip: "78701" },
      },
    },
  },
});
// Always check userErrors in response — returns code like COMPANY_NOT_FOUND, INVALID

See references/company-management.md for the full mutation, additional contacts, locations, and roles.

Step 2: Create a Catalog

Catalogs link products to specific companies. Use catalogCreate with a title, status, and context.companyLocationIds:

await client.request(CATALOG_CREATE, {
  variables: {
    input: {
      title: "Wholesale Tier 1",
      status: "ACTIVE",
      context: { companyLocationIds: ["gid://shopify/CompanyLocation/123456"] },
    },
  },
});

Step 3: Set Wholesale Pricing

Create a price list with priceListCreate. Use PERCENTAGE_DECREASE for blanket discounts or priceListFixedPricesAdd for per-variant overrides:

// 30% off all products in this catalog
await client.request(PRICE_LIST_CREATE, {
  variables: {
    input: {
      name: "Wholesale 30% Off",
      currency: "USD",
      parent: { adjustment: { type: "PERCENTAGE_DECREASE", value: 30 } },
      catalogId: "gid://shopify/Catalog/789",
    },
  },
});

For fixed price overrides, volume pricing, and multi-currency, see references/catalog-pricing.md.

Step 4: B2B Checkout Configuration

B2B orders use draftOrderCreate with purchaseOrder number and purchasingEntity linking to the company. Key fields:

await client.request(DRAFT_ORDER_CREATE, {
  variables: {
    input: {
      purchaseOrder: "PO-2026-0042",
      lineItems: [{ variantId: "gid://shopify/ProductVariant/123", quantity: 100 }],
      purchasingEntity: {
        purchasingCompany: {
          companyId: "gid://shopify/Company/456",
          companyContactId: "gid://shopify/CompanyContact/789",
          companyLocationId: "gid://shopify/CompanyLocation/012",
        },
      },
      paymentTerms: { paymentTermsTemplateId: "gid://shopify/PaymentTermsTemplate/1" },
    },
  },
});

Payment terms templates: Due on receipt, Net 15, Net 30, Net 45, Net 60, Net 90. Query available templates with paymentTermsTemplates.
