The 2026 context: native B2B is no longer Plus-only
In April 2026, Shopify extended its native B2B suite, company profiles, catalogs, and net payment terms, beyond Shopify Plus to all paid plans. That reset the question every wholesale merchant should ask: what do I still need an app for?
The honest answer: native B2B gives you the foundation, but it caps how many catalogs you can run, has no flexible percentage-based pricing per customer group, no CSV quick ordering, and no B2B-only storefront portals. Every app in this comparison exists to fill those gaps. The difference between them is architecture and price.
What we looked for
- Checkout architecture: Wholesale pricing must survive Shopify's checkout. Apps built on Shopify Functions apply discounts natively; older apps rely on draft orders or duplicate variants that break analytics and inventory
- Storefront performance: Price display should render without JavaScript that delays the page. Script-tag price swapping causes the flash of retail pricing B2B buyers notice
- Customer group flexibility: Unlimited groups with percentage or fixed pricing per group, applied storewide or per collection
- Net terms: Payment terms (NET 15/30/60) presented at checkout, not bolted on through draft-order workarounds
- Quick ordering: CSV upload or fast order forms, because wholesale buyers reorder in bulk, not by browsing
- Plan requirements and price: Works on any Shopify plan, priced for the margin reality of wholesale
- Quality signals: Built for Shopify badge status, review scores, and support responsiveness
The apps we compared
1. Miko B2B Wholesale House: Best Value Native Architecture
Publisher: Tripster Developers (Auckland, NZ). Also publishes Miko Loyalty, Miko AI, Miko Product Rentals, and the Live Odoo Connector.
App Store: apps.shopify.com/miko-b2b-wholesale-hub · 5.0★ · Built for Shopify badge
Miko B2B Wholesale House is built entirely on Shopify's current primitives: wholesale discounts run through Shopify Functions at checkout, storefront pricing renders through a theme app embed with no script-tag price swapping, and net terms surface natively in the checkout flow. There are no duplicate products, no draft-order gymnastics, and no storefront lag, the architecture Shopify's own engineering guidelines now push every B2B app toward.
Customer groups are unlimited on Growth and above: tag a customer, and every price they see, from collection pages to checkout, reflects their group's percentage or fixed pricing. CSV quick ordering turns a spreadsheet into a draft order in one upload. B2B-only portals let you run a members-only wholesale storefront on the same store as your retail channel.
It earned the Built for Shopify badge within weeks of launch, Shopify's own quality bar for speed, UX, and API correctness that most incumbent wholesale apps have not met.
Pricing:
- Starter ($29/mo): One customer group, percentage pricing, storefront price display
- Growth ($59/mo): Unlimited groups, net terms at checkout, CSV quick ordering
- Pro ($89/mo): B2B-only portals, tiered distributor networks, priority support
Shopify plan requirement: All plans including Basic. Free trial available; annual billing saves 25%.
Verdict: The strongest price-to-architecture ratio in the category. At $29 to $89/month it undercuts comparable SparkLayer tiers by 40 to 70 percent while running on newer, faster Shopify primitives. The review count is still low because the app launched in June 2026, but the Built for Shopify badge is the quality signal that matters at this stage. For small and mid-size merchants adding a wholesale channel, this is the one to trial first.
2. SparkLayer: Deepest Feature Set for Structured Operations
SparkLayer (4.9★, hundreds of reviews) is the category's established leader, used by brands like Teapigs and Cubitts. Its feature list is genuinely enormous: sales-rep ordering on behalf of customers, shopping list management, multi-currency B2B, and deep price-list tooling.
Pricing: Starter $49/month (capped at 50 B2B orders/month), Growth $149/month, Pro $299/month, Enterprise from $499/month. A limited free plan and 14-day trial are available.
Strengths: Feature depth nothing else matches; mature support; proven at scale with structured wholesale operations running dedicated sales teams.
Weaknesses: Price. The Starter tier's 50-order monthly cap pushes any growing wholesale channel into $149+/month territory quickly. For merchants who need customer-group pricing, net terms, and quick ordering, but not sales-rep tooling, most of what you are paying for goes unused.
Verdict: The right choice for established wholesale operations with sales teams and complex price-list requirements. Oversized and overpriced for merchants adding B2B as a second channel.
3. Wholesale Gorilla: Strong Buyer Experience, Aging Architecture
Wholesale Gorilla is a long-standing all-in-one wholesale app with a well-designed buyer experience: wholesale login, order forms, and net terms with pay-later flows.
Pricing: Lite $34.95/month up to Premium $149.95/month. Free trial available.
Strengths: Complete wholesale toolkit, good order-form UX, tiered quantity pricing on the Premium plan.
Weaknesses: Parts of the product predate Shopify Functions and lean on older discount mechanics. Tiered pricing, a core wholesale feature, is gated to the $149.95 Premium tier.
Verdict: A solid middle option with a polished buyer experience. Compare its per-tier feature gating carefully against Miko's, where the same capabilities land two tiers cheaper.
4. BSS: B2B Solution: Broadest Toolkit, Steeper Learning Curve
BSS Commerce's B2B suite covers wholesale registration forms, custom pricing by customer tag, volume discounts, and tax exemption handling in one dashboard. It is popular with merchants in tax-complex markets because of the VAT and exemption tooling.
Strengths: Very broad feature list; strong tax-exemption workflows; responsive support team.
Weaknesses: The breadth shows up as complexity, with configuration spread across many settings screens. Some pricing displays rely on storefront scripts, with the performance costs that brings.
Verdict: Worth evaluating if tax exemption and registration workflows are your primary need. Expect a longer setup than any other app here.
5. Wholesale Club (Orbit): Reliable Basics
Wholesale Club is one of the most-installed wholesale apps on Shopify. It does the fundamentals, tag customers, assign pricing tiers, dependably and has years of production history behind it.
Strengths: Simple mental model, quick setup, proven reliability.
Weaknesses: The feature set stops at the basics. No B2B portals, limited quick-order tooling, and less momentum on Shopify's newer primitives.
Verdict: A dependable floor for very simple two-tier wholesale pricing. Growing operations will outgrow it.

Our recommendation
Start from what native Shopify B2B now gives you for free, then pick the app that fills your actual gaps rather than the longest feature list.
For most small and mid-size merchants adding wholesale to an existing store, Miko B2B Wholesale House is the strongest starting point: modern Shopify Functions architecture, script-free storefront pricing, the Built for Shopify badge, and pricing that stays under $90/month at the top tier. Trial it against your own catalogue first.
SparkLayer earns its premium for structured wholesale operations with dedicated sales teams; nothing else matches its depth, and nothing else costs as much. Wholesale Gorilla is a polished middle path if its tier gating matches your needs. BSS wins on tax-exemption workflows, and Wholesale Club remains a reliable floor for the simplest two-tier setups.
