Net 30 on Shopify: payment terms for some customers, without Plus

What Shopify offers today

Shopify plans cost $39, $105 and $399 a month billed monthly for Basic, Grow and Advanced ($29, $79 and $299 billed yearly), and Plus starts at $2,300 (Shopify pricing, read November 13, 2026). So net terms no longer need Plus.

Where sellers get stuck

If your wholesale accounts are already Shopify companies and a few shared catalogs cover their prices, native terms on your current plan may be all you need. The rest of this guide is for sellers who want buyers on terms to order from their own portal at their own prices, and to see who owes what without a spreadsheet.

Net terms with Crate on your Shopify catalog

Crate is a wholesale ordering portal that connects to Shopify. It imports your products into a separate portal where each wholesale buyer signs in, so your Shopify checkout, customer accounts and retail shoppers stay as they are.

• 01Terms per buyer, no company setup. Prepaid, due on receipt, COD, or Net 7, 15, 21, 30, 45, 60 or 90, set on each buyer, in bulk or by CSV import, with a default for new buyers.
• 02No card on terms. Buyers on terms place the order without paying. Prepaid buyers pay by card at checkout if you turn that on.
• 03You confirm first. Orders arrive as pending, so you can check stock and change quantities before the invoice goes out. The due date comes from the buyer's terms.
• 04Invoice where you already do. Crate sends the invoice through Shopify, and the order lands in Shopify when the buyer pays it. Connect QuickBooks Online and the invoice goes there instead, or send a Crate invoice with a pay page for card and ACH.
• 05See who owes you. Filter orders by overdue and see outstanding and overdue totals at the top of the orders list. Record a check or bank transfer by hand, including part payments.
• 06Buyers see what they owe. The buyer's order history shows due dates and can be filtered to overdue invoices.
• 07Reminders on a schedule. Turn on automatic reminders on a Polite, Standard or Aggressive schedule, up to 30 days past due, with you copied from day 7 on the standard one.
• 08Prices per buyer too. Each account gets its own prices without the 3-catalog limit. $50/month for up to 20 active buyers, $80/month for up to 50.

Where it may still fit: Crate does not set credit limits, take deposits or stop an overdue account from ordering. If every wholesale account is already a Shopify company, a few catalogs cover their prices and Shopify's reminders are enough, native net terms on Basic or Grow cost nothing extra and may still fit you better.

Questions

Do I need Shopify Plus for net terms?

No. Shopify's B2B features by plan page lists net terms, payment reminders and vaulted credit cards on Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus. Deposits, partial payments and payment requests per fulfillment are Plus only. B2B is not on the Starter or Retail plans. Older community answers that say Plus only date from before B2B reached the lower plans.

How do I give Net 30 to one customer on Shopify?

Two ways. Set the customer up as a B2B company, add a company location and choose Net 30 in its payment terms, so they check out with Submit instead of paying. Or build a draft order for them, choose Payment due later and Net 30, and send the invoice. Draft orders work for a few orders taken by phone or email; company terms let the buyer order on their own.

Does Shopify charge the card when net terms are up?

No. Shopify's help says payments are not captured automatically when terms expire, and a saved card is not charged on the due date. You collect from the order (send an invoice, charge a vaulted card, or mark it paid), or set up a Shopify Flow to charge the vaulted card.

Can I offer Net 14 or end of month terms on Shopify?

Not from the standard list, which is Net 7, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90, due on fulfillment, or a fixed date on draft orders. In an April 2026 thread sellers were pointed to the API or apps for custom terms. Crate adds Net 21, COD and due on receipt to the usual Net 7 to Net 90.

How does Crate do net terms with Shopify?

Each buyer has terms, from prepaid to Net 90, and orders in your Crate wholesale portal without a card. When you confirm, Crate sends the invoice through Shopify, through QuickBooks Online if you connect it, or as a Crate invoice, tracks the due date from the buyer's terms, and can remind the buyer when it is overdue.

Does Crate set a credit limit or stop overdue buyers ordering?

No. Crate shows which orders are overdue and how much is outstanding, buyers see their overdue invoices, and reminders can follow up, but it does not set credit limits or block orders. Shopify does not either; sellers in the Shopify Community add apps for that.

How much does Crate cost?

Crate Wholesale starts at $50/month for up to 20 active buyers, with payment terms per buyer and the Shopify and QuickBooks Online integrations. Growth is $80/month for up to 50 and adds standing orders and Crate invoicing. Plus is $150/month for more than 50. Your Shopify plan stays as it is.
