PNW B2B Store review for Shop
Aug. 1, 2023
We have a wholesale store that requires login-only access and Shop was able to sell to random people at our wholesale pricing without any approval from us by offering our products on its main commerce page. This is not only a terrible design, but also puts us in a sales tax liability situation since we vet that all of our customers are required to have a valid Resellers License prior to giving them access to our wholesale pricing. If you have a login-only website, Shop shouldn't be able to offer your products, pretty simple. Bizarre functionality, not impressed.
Hi, thanks for reviewing our Shop channel. For context, at this stage the Shop channel isn't compatible with stores that also offer wholesale pricing, as the system won't respect any wholesale rules that a store may have set up for their products. Wholesale stores are typically opted out of the Shop channel by default, in order to mitigate the risks that being featured in the Shop app could have for the store (ie. customers in seeing the store's wholesale pricing). In saying this however, merchants do have the ability to still opt in to Shop by installing the app within their Shopify admin themselves, if they're willing to accept the risk that special wholesale product rules will be ignored by the system. I can understand how important it is to be able to incorporate a rule within the Shop channel that separates wholesale products versus those tailored for regular customers, however. I'll be sure to pass on the feedback that you've shared with us here to our development team for consideration. Thanks! -Kimi, Shopify Support
