What to Use for Shopify B2B Volume Pricing With Net Terms

Quick Answer

Yes, you can combine volume pricing with net payment terms on Shopify. The main method is tagging wholesale customers, then setting both quantity-based pricing and a net terms option for that group inside Wholesale Pricing Discount B2B. The benefit is that buyers get the discount they expect and the payment window they need on the same order, without a manual invoice process outside Shopify.

Introduction

Wholesale buyers rarely pay on the spot. A retailer placing a large order often expects both a volume discount and 30 or 60 days to pay the invoice, and asking for one without the other loses the deal.

This guide is for B2B sellers and distributors who need volume pricing and net payment terms working together on Shopify, not as two separate manual processes.

What Is Volume Pricing With Net Terms?

Volume pricing with net terms means a wholesale buyer gets a lower per-unit price at higher quantities, and is also allowed to pay the invoice within a set number of days after the order ships, rather than paying at checkout.

Who Needs Volume Pricing With Net Terms?

• Distributors selling to retailers who order on account
• Manufacturers with established wholesale accounts expecting invoicing
• Brands moving from manual invoicing to a Shopify-based checkout
• Sellers with large recurring orders from a small number of key accounts
• Businesses that already offer volume discounts but still invoice manually

Why Volume Pricing With Net Terms Matters for Your Business

• Larger orders increase average order value when buyers trust the payment window
• Repeat order volume grows when buyers do not need to tie up cash upfront
• Operational efficiency improves once invoicing runs through Shopify instead of email
• Reduces late payments through automated reminders instead of manual follow-up
• Improves cash flow predictability with defined payment terms per customer group

Shopify Native B2B vs Wholesale Pricing Discount B2B for Net Terms

Native Shopify B2B, on every paid plan since April 2026, includes net payment terms of 7, 15, 30, 45, 60, or 90 days, along with volume pricing up to 10 quantity breaks per product and PO number support at checkout. That is a genuinely wide set of native options.

Wholesale Pricing Discount B2B offers a narrower set of net terms, 15, 30, or 60 days on the Professional plan and above, so it does not match native B2B on day-option range. What it adds is automation native B2B does not: automated payment reminders by email and SMS, and early payment discounts that reward buyers who pay ahead of the due date. Some net terms and abandoned checkout features on native B2B also need manual activation through Shopify support, which WPD does not require.

How to Set Up Volume Pricing With Net Terms on Shopify

Step 1: Prepare Your Store and Customer Tags

Tag the wholesale accounts that should receive both volume pricing and net terms. You may want a separate tag for accounts approved for net terms if not every wholesale buyer qualifies.

• Create a wholesale tag and a net-terms-eligible tag if needed
• Tag existing accounts based on credit approval
• Confirm which accounts should stay pay-on-checkout

Step 2: Install and Configure the App

Install Wholesale Pricing Discount B2B on the Professional plan or above to access net 15, 30, or 60 day terms alongside your pricing groups.

• Connect tags to a pricing group with volume pricing enabled
• Turn on net terms for the eligible group
• Set up automated payment reminders by email and SMS

Step 3: Create the Pricing or Discount Rules

Set your quantity break pricing per product or collection, then set the net terms window for the same customer group, along with any early payment discount you want to offer.

• Set quantity breaks for the volume pricing structure
• Choose net 15, 30, or 60 for the eligible group
• Add an early payment discount to encourage faster payment

Step 4: Test With a Tagged Test Customer

Place a test order under a tagged account and confirm both the volume price and the net terms option appear correctly at checkout. Ask Shopify Sidekick which groups currently have net 30 terms enabled to confirm your setup.

• Confirm the volume price applies at the right quantity
• Confirm net terms shows as a payment option at checkout
• Ask Sidekick to list groups with a specific net terms window

Step 5: Go Live

Roll net terms and volume pricing out to your approved wholesale accounts, and monitor the first invoices to confirm reminders and due dates are firing correctly.

• Tag approved accounts for net terms
• Confirm automated reminders are active before launch
• Review the first cycle of invoices for accuracy

Volume Pricing With Net Terms Examples

Industry: Building supply distributor with contractor accounts
Problem: Contractors wanted 30 days to pay but the store only accepted checkout payment.
Setup: Net 30 terms enabled for tagged accounts, combined with existing volume pricing.
Result: Order size grew and late payments dropped after automated reminders were turned on.

Best Practices

• Only extend net terms to accounts you have vetted, not every wholesale tag
• Pair net terms with automated reminders so payment does not rely on memory
• Offer a small early payment discount to improve cash flow timing
• Keep volume pricing thresholds visible to buyers so terms feel transparent
• Review overdue accounts monthly and adjust eligibility as needed

Summary

Volume pricing with net terms lets wholesale buyers get the discount and the payment window they expect on one order. Tag eligible accounts, set quantity pricing and net terms together in Wholesale Pricing Discount B2B, then test before going live.
