Shopify for Manufacturers & Wholesalers
Shopify for manufacturers and wholesalers looking to digitize their sales
Many manufacturers still process orders via phone, email, or Excel. With Shopify, you create a digital channel where your customers can place orders at any time. We support you from the initial concept to ongoing operations.
No obligation. You will get an honest assessment of what is feasible and what to expect.

Why Choose Shopify for Manufacturers
What manufacturers and wholesalers can expect from Shopify
In recent years, Shopify has evolved to meet the complex needs of manufacturers. With Shopify Plus, you can efficiently manage custom pricing, customer groups, and ERP integrations.
-
Your customers place orders themselves, whenever they want.
No phone call, no fax, no email required. Your business customers log in, see their individual prices, and place orders directly.
-
Custom pricing by customer or customer group
Distributor A receives different terms than Distributor B. Tiered pricing, framework agreements, and personalized catalogs can be neatly managed in Shopify Plus.
-
Less effort in inside sales
Recurring orders, standard requests, and invoice copies can be handled by your customers themselves. Your team has more time for the tasks where they are really needed.
-
Your ERP remains the leading system
Shopify does not replace your existing system landscape. We connect the shop with your ERP so that inventory, prices, and orders are automatically synchronized.
-
First orders in 6 weeks
No years-long project. We work with clear packages and a structured approach that gets you live quickly and works in practice from day one.
-
Also for manufacturers without e-commerce experience
Most of our customers are entering digital sales for the first time. We support the full process, from the first idea to day-to-day operations.
Shopify projects rarely fail because of the platform itself. They fail due to unclear requirements, missing integrations, or because no one takes responsibility after go-live. We ensure this doesn’t happen to you.

Our Approach
How manufacturers and wholesalers get started with digital sales with us
No long back and forth. In three steps, we clarify what you need, build it properly, and make sure your customers can actually place orders through it.
Understand the sales structure and define the objective
Before we build anything, we first understand how your sales process works today. Who orders from you, how, and on what terms? What should the shop handle, and what should stay manual?
We’ll clarify that together:
- Which customer groups do you have?
- How complex are your pricing rules?
- Which systems need to be connected?
Set up, integrate, and test Shopify
We build your shop so it fits your sales model. Customer logins, custom price lists, ERP integration, a frictionless checkout. Everything is thoroughly tested before go-live.
Our goal:
- That your first customers can actually place orders through the shop within 6 weeks of project start.
Go-live, implementation and ongoing operations
After launch, we support the rollout with your customers and make sure the shop works in day-to-day use. Open questions, first orders, technical follow-up work: we stay available.
Optional:
- Long-term support, ongoing development, and a monthly KPI review, so your shop stays fresh and keeps growing.
- We will work together to determine which starting point is the fastest and most practical for your situation.
Knowledge about Shopify
All articlesWhat manufacturers ask us most often
+49 221 772 66 00Can our existing customers use the shop, or is it only for new customers?
Both are possible, and in practice most manufacturers mainly use the shop for existing customers. These customers log in with their current terms and can place orders right away. The shop reduces the workload for the inside sales team without replacing the existing sales model.
What happens when different customers have different prices?
This is precisely one of the key aspects for manufacturers. In Shopify Plus, you can assign individual price lists for each customer or customer group. Once logged in, your customer automatically sees their agreed terms, and no one else can view these prices.
How does the integration with our ERP work?
That depends on which ERP you use and which data needs to be synced. As a rule, we connect stock, prices, customer data, and orders in both directions, so nothing has to be maintained twice. In the first conversation, we clarify what makes sense and is possible in your system.
How much does a project like this cost?
It depends on the scope, especially how complex your pricing logic is and which systems need to be connected. An initial setup without complex integrations is much less expensive than a fully developed B2B shop with ERP integration. In the first call, we will give you a realistic estimate.
