[Overview] Company credit limit

Overview

Company credit limit is an extension that allows merchant to extend a line of credit to a B2B company. This includes:

  • Set a total Credit Limit to control financial exposure for each B2B company

  • Follow all credit transactions, purchases, payments, and outstanding balances in real-time

  • Automatically track credit activity to populate the Available Credit in real-time as new orders are placed and payments are made.

  • Automated checkout validation process that checks available credit before complete an order on Net terms.

Use cases

B2B credit limit is ideal for:

  • Established B2B relationships—Long-term business customers with proven payment history.

  • Large enterprise customers—Companies making significant, regular purchases requiring extended payment terms.

  • Supply chain partners—Distributors, resellers, and channel partners requiring credit facilities.

Why this solution matters

This integrated solution is foundational for any merchant serious about scaling their B2B operations on Shopify Plus.

  • Mitigate financial risk: Automated credit limit enforcement is the single most effective way for merchants to control their exposure to bad debt.

  • Enable sales & reduce friction: A clear and automated credit system empowers trusted customers to purchase freely up to their limit without needing manual approvals, accelerating the sales cycle.

  • Reduce accounts receivable workload: A self-serve store ledger reduces inquiries from customers about their balance, and payment status, freeing up the merchant's finance team.

These extensions will inherit branding from the rest of the checkout and accounts experience, ensuring a consistent and familiar experience for customers.
