TL;DR - Quick Answer

Use Shopify's price lists and B2B features (Shopify Plus), or apps like Wholesale Club and Spark Layer, to create separate discount structures for wholesale buyers without affecting retail pricing.

Managing Wholesale and B2B Discount Structures on Shopify

Running wholesale and retail on the same Shopify store requires careful separation of discount logic. Applying retail discount campaigns to wholesale customers (or vice versa) undermines pricing agreements and erodes margins. The right tools keep pricing structures clean and separate.

Key Separation Principles

  • Never stack retail promotional discount codes on top of wholesale pricing - double discounts destroy margins
  • Use customer tags to differentiate B2B and retail customers, and condition all promotions on those tags
  • Test checkout flows as both a B2B and retail customer after any discount configuration change
  • Exclude wholesale customer segments from email discount campaigns sent to retail lists
  • Set minimum order quantities for wholesale pricing tiers to protect against retail customers gaming the system

Growth Suite: Retail-Only Targeting by Design

Growth Suite's Trigger Campaigns target behavioral signals specific to retail browsing sessions. B2B customers logged into company accounts with pre-negotiated pricing don't exhibit the same walk-away behaviors - so they're naturally excluded from Growth Suite's conversion offers. For stores running both channels, this behavioral distinction means retail recovery campaigns don't accidentally bleed into wholesale pricing.
