Who should choose BSS B2B?

BSS B2B is the better fit in these cases, and you can install it today.

  • Choose BSS B2B if you need wholesale pricing by customer group or tag, with its own price lists and quantity breaks. Copiara does not price by tag; it pushes contract pricing into Shopify's own catalogs and price lists.
  • Choose BSS B2B if you take wholesale applications and want them approved and tagged for you.
  • Choose BSS B2B if you need to hide prices or lock pages until buyers log in (BSS B2B Lock).
  • Choose BSS B2B if you need order minimums, MOQ or order limits.
  • Choose BSS B2B if you want wholesale pricing to apply in Shopify POS too. The Wholesale Pricing listing names a Shopify POS integration.
  • Choose BSS B2B if you want a simple request form with a PO field and quick order pages. BSS B2B Request a Quote has 197 reviews at 4.9.

Who should choose Copiara?

Copiara is the better fit in these cases, if you can wait: it cannot be installed yet. For example, a bearings distributor negotiating a large order over several rounds, with a plant manager's approval needed above a spend limit.

  • Choose Copiara if your buyers negotiate prices over several rounds and you want one record that keeps every round, with a margin floor the server checks.
  • Choose Copiara if buyers' purchasing departments need approval rules and spending limits cleared before an order is placed.
  • Choose Copiara if you sell on credit and want a credit limit per buying company, with live exposure that counts orders still in approval.
  • Choose Copiara if you want an AI concierge on your theme, and a Sidekick that stages a counter offer from @copiara for your staff to review and send.
  • A store may also run BSS B2B for pricing and Copiara for the exceptions. The jobs do not overlap, but Copiara cannot be installed yet, so there is no tested combination.
