Shopify B2B vs KitCommerce

A Shopify B2B alternative with credit limits built in

Shopify now puts most B2B features on every plan: companies, net payment terms, catalogues, quantity rules and price breaks. Its help pages on B2B do not describe a credit limit, and apps in the Shopify App Store add one for a monthly fee. GoCommerce, the backend of KitCommerce, checks each dealer’s credit limit inside its checkout, prints statements with overdue amounts, and gives dealers a trade portal on your own web address. A store in India with a GSTIN also issues GST tax invoices. It has no company locations, quantity rules, deposits or e-invoices.

Every plan carries Shopify’s companies, net terms and catalogues; direct company catalogues and deposits are Plus only

Companies and buyers	Companies with company locations, on every plan.	Companies with three buyer roles: admin, approver and buyer. No company locations.
Payment terms	Net 7, 15, 30, 45, 60 or 90 days, due on fulfilment, or a fixed date on a draft order.	Net days per company. An order on account is confirmed with a due date and counts against the limit until it is marked paid.
Credit limits	Not described on Shopify’s B2B plan-features or payment-terms pages. App Store apps add them, such as Extend B2B Credit Limits at US$79 a month, which blocks or warns at checkout.	Checked inside the checkout against what the company owes plus the order’s final total, under a lock per company, so two orders at once cannot both fit under one limit.

Quantity rules and price breaks	Quantity rules and quantity price breaks on every plan.	Quantity price breaks on group price lists. No minimum quantities or fixed increments.
Quotes	Draft orders sent as an invoice, on every plan.	Buyers ask for a quote; the store prices each line with an expiry, and acceptance places the order at those prices.
Approvals	Not listed on Shopify’s B2B plan-features page.	An amount per company above which a buyer’s order waits for the company’s approver, who is emailed.
Statements	Not listed on Shopify’s B2B plan-features page.	A statement for any period with opening and closing balances and amounts 1–30, 31–60, 61–90 and over 90 days late, as a page or a spreadsheet.
Deposits and part payments	Deposits, partial payments and payment per fulfilment on Plus only.	None. Payment is recorded per whole order.
Where buyers order	The Shopify store, with B2B customer accounts.	A trade portal at /portal on the store’s own address: quick order by code or spreadsheet, basket, orders, statements, approvals, quotes and team.
In India	Shopify Payments is not offered, so a third-party gateway’s orders carry Shopify’s 2%, 1% or 0.6% fee by plan. Shopify says it does not create GST-compliant bills.	Razorpay and Cashfree on the store’s checkout, though not yet inside the portal’s basket. A GST tax invoice for every paid order, with HSN codes and the CGST, SGST or IGST split, and an export for TallyPrime.

Work out Shopify’s fees on your own sales, in your currency, against 1% of every order hosted, plus 18% GST on the fee.

Which one fits

Choose Shopify B2B when

Your wholesale buyers have several locations each, or you need quantity minimums and increments.
You want deposits or part payments on B2B orders and can be on Plus.
You also sell to consumers on Shopify and want one admin, one app store and 24/7 support.
Nobody on your team runs servers, and a monthly app for credit limits is a fair price.

Choose GoCommerce + Svelte Commerce when

Dealers buy on credit and an order over the limit must be stopped at checkout, not caught later.
Your accounts team wants each dealer’s statement and overdue amounts without a spreadsheet of its own.
Dealers ask for quotes, and staff orders above an amount must wait for the dealer’s owner.
You want the code: MIT licensed, on your own server, with no plan or app fees.
You want a store hosted for you at 1% of every successful order instead of a monthly plan.
You need a GST tax invoice for every paid order, and files your accountant imports into TallyPrime.

What you take on

Run it yourself and you host it: a server, a PostgreSQL database, backups and upgrades are yours, or a developer’s you pay. A store hosted on kitcommerce.store pays 1% of every successful order instead.
No app store. What a module does not cover, somebody writes.
GoCommerce has over 2,000 tests, but no store we know of runs it in production yet.
Svelte Commerce reaches GoCommerce through an early connector, version 0.16.0: catalogue, cart, cash-on-delivery checkout and order lookup work; shopper sign-in, the address book and order history need GoCommerce’s identity module.
No e-invoice, e-way bill or GST credit note, and the TallyPrime files have not yet been test-imported into TallyPrime itself.
Dealers pay on account in the portal; paying by UPI or card from the portal’s basket is not finished yet.

FAQ

Questions about Shopify B2B and GoCommerce

Does Shopify B2B have credit limits?

Shopify’s help pages on B2B plan features and payment terms do not describe one. Apps in the Shopify App Store add credit limits, such as Extend B2B Credit Limits at US$79 a month, which can block an order or show a warning at checkout. GoCommerce checks a credit limit inside its own checkout.

Is Shopify B2B only on Plus?

No. Shopify’s help centre says most B2B features are on every plan, including companies, catalogues and net payment terms. Direct company catalogues, more than 3 active B2B catalogues, deposits and partial payments are Plus only.

Can GoCommerce do company locations like Shopify?

No. A GoCommerce company has members in roles, terms, a catalogue and a price group, but not separate locations with their own terms. Shopify B2B has them on every plan.

Can I move my B2B customers from Shopify?

The catalogue comes across with the Shopify import module. Companies, their terms and catalogues are set up again in GoCommerce, by hand or through its API.

Which one makes GST invoices?

GoCommerce does, for a store in India with a valid GSTIN that sells in rupees: every paid order gets a tax invoice with HSN codes, the place of supply and the CGST, SGST or IGST split, and the invoices export to TallyPrime. It makes no e-invoices or e-way bills. Shopify says it does not create GST-compliant bills and points merchants to an app or service.
