61. Shopify B2B EC Construction
B2B e-commerce doesn't end with "creating a cart." We build Shopify B2B that encompasses order placement, pricing, and transaction conditions, all functioning on-site.
A typical failure in B2B e-commerce is "the e-commerce site is created, but the order management does not function." In B2B, there are always on-site requirements such as corporate pricing, quantity-based pricing, quotes, credit payments, transaction conditions, approval flows, and inventory integration. If you create only the appearance without designing these elements, you will ultimately revert to using email and Excel, and the e-commerce platform will become unused. In this service, we will build a B2B e-commerce system that can withstand operations by "designing the necessary functions and operations for B2B transactions first" based on Shopify. Furthermore, we will launch it with a sustainable structure, keeping in mind future expansions (inventory, core systems, CRM integration, multilingual support, and international transactions). ■ Service Offerings (3 Points) 1. B2B Requirement Definition (organizing transaction conditions, pricing, order management, and operational flows) 2. Shopify B2B Construction (store design, products/customers, payment/shipping, permissions) 3. Integration/Operational Design (inventory, core systems, quote operations, management screen operations) Deliverables: Complete Shopify B2B e-commerce package (requirement definition, design, construction, initial operation guide) *Please provide the current order management flow (email/phone/Excel, etc.). We will create a blueprint for B2B e-commerce.
