Trade customers ordering by themselves
Buyers log in, see their own prices and reorder without messaging your team.
Shopify B2B Development experts · Ethiopia
We set up Shopify B2B and wholesale portals.
Stop taking wholesale orders on WhatsApp and a spreadsheet.
Your trade customers want to log in, see their own prices, reorder last month’s list and pay on terms. Your team wants to stop retyping orders from chat messages. We set up Shopify B2B so wholesale runs itself, alongside your retail store.
- Company accounts and buyers
- Customer-specific price lists
- Payment terms and minimums
- Quick reorder for repeat buyers

How does EliteTeQ set up Shopify B2B?
EliteTeQ sets up Shopify B2B in four steps: map how you sell wholesale, set up companies and catalogs, build the ordering experience, then bring your trade customers across.
- 1
Map how you sell wholesale
We list your trade customer types, price tiers, minimum orders and payment terms, and how wholesale orders reach you today.
- 2
Set up companies and catalogs
We create company accounts, locations and buyers, then catalogs and price lists so each trade customer sees their own prices.
- 3
Build the ordering experience
Quick order lists, reordering from past orders, quantity rules and terms at checkout, on your retail store or a separate wholesale one.
- 4
Bring your trade customers across
We import your trade accounts, test an order as each customer type, and send login invitations with a short how-to.
What does a Shopify B2B portal change?
A Shopify B2B portal lets trade customers order by themselves at their own prices, keeps terms in one place, runs wholesale and retail from one admin and ends retyped orders.
Prices and terms set once
Price lists, minimums and payment terms live in Shopify instead of in a spreadsheet or someone’s memory.
Wholesale and retail in one place
Stock, products and reports stay in one Shopify admin, whichever channel the order came from.
No more retyped orders
Orders arrive complete and correct, so your team stops copying them from chats and calls.

What is Shopify B2B development in Ethiopia?
Shopify B2B development sets up wholesale selling on Shopify: company accounts with several buyers, price lists for each customer, payment terms, minimum and multiple order quantities, and a trade portal for repeat orders. EliteTeQ builds this for wholesalers and brands in Ethiopia, next to their retail store.
- Company profiles with multiple buyers
- Price lists per customer or tier
- Payment terms and credit limits
- Quantity rules and quick reorder
Sound familiar?
What does wholesale look like without a portal?
Wholesale without a portal means orders arrive as voice notes, every customer has a different price, credit is tracked on paper and retail and wholesale fight over stock.
- Orders arrive as voice notes
- Someone listens, types the order, checks the price list, then calls back about stock. A portal lets buyers place the order themselves, with the right prices already applied.
- Everyone has a different price
- Special prices for big buyers live in someone’s head or an old spreadsheet. We turn them into price lists attached to each company, so nobody gets the wrong number.
- Credit is tracked on paper
- Who is on 30-day terms, who has paid, who is over their limit. We set payment terms on each account so invoices and due dates are clear on both sides.
- Retail and wholesale fight over stock
- Two systems and two stock counts mean overselling. Running B2B on the same Shopify store keeps one stock count for both.
What do your trade customers get?
Trade customers on a Shopify B2B portal sign in to their own prices and terms and reorder last month’s list in a minute instead of a phone call.
01 / 02
Their prices, their terms, their list
Each company signs in to its own catalogue and prices, with minimum quantities and case sizes enforced at the cart.
- Catalogues per company or tier
- Minimums and case quantities
- Volume price breaks
02 / 02
Reorders in a minute, not a phone call
Buyers reorder last month’s list, adjust quantities and submit, while your team approves and ships from the same Shopify admin.
- One-click reorder from order history
- Draft orders for sales reps
- Invoices with due dates on terms

How is a trade portal different from WhatsApp wholesale?
A Shopify trade portal lets buyers place orders themselves with price lists and payment terms attached, where WhatsApp wholesale means typing orders in from voice notes.
Without it
- Orders typed in from voice notes
- Special prices in someone’s head
- Credit tracked in a notebook
- Separate stock for retail and trade
- Sales reps chasing reorders
With EliteTeQ
- Buyers place orders themselves
- Price lists attached to each company
- Payment terms and due dates on every invoice
- One stock count for both
- One-click reorder from history

Do I need Shopify Plus for B2B?
Shopify’s full native B2B features have historically been tied to Shopify Plus, and Shopify adjusts which plans include what. We check what your current plan supports and, where it falls short, offer a wholesale setup that works on it.
Can retail and wholesale run on the same store?
Yes. Retail shoppers see your normal prices, while signed-in trade buyers see their own catalogue and terms, and both draw from one stock count.
Can my sales reps place orders for customers?
Yes. Reps can create draft orders on behalf of a company, with that company’s prices and terms applied, and send them for approval or payment.
How do you move our existing price lists in?
Send us what you have, even if it is spreadsheets and handwritten notes. We clean it into price lists and tiers, and you check them before any buyer sees them.
Can buyers in Ethiopia see prices in their own currency?
Yes. Prices for buyers in Ethiopia are shown in ETB, and invoices on payment terms carry the same amounts and due dates.
Let your trade customers order without calling you.
Send us your current price list or a photo of how orders come in today. We’ll show you what the portal would look like.
