The short answer

Choose TierCommerce if your trade customers order from prices and stock held in MYOB, Pronto Xi, Options, NetSuite or another ERP, and you want customer-specific pricing, approvals, online invoice payment and AI order entry connected to it, with an Australian team behind you. Choose Shopify B2B if you mainly sell direct to consumers and want to add wholesale to the same store, with published plan prices and Shopify’s app ecosystem.

Why wholesalers choose TierCommerce over Shopify B2B

  • Native links to the ERPs local wholesalers run

    TierCommerce connects natively to MYOB, Pronto Xi, Options, NetSuite, Business Central, Xero, Cin7, Unleashed and Katana MRP. We build and maintain each integration in-house, it runs two-way and live, and every sync is logged and replayable. On Shopify, MYOB and Pronto Xi connect through third-party apps.

  • Customer pricing on every account

    Customer-specific, contract, group and quantity pricing are available on every account, with catalogue visibility per customer and GST shown inclusive or exclusive to suit each account. On Shopify, catalogs assigned to individual companies need Shopify Plus.

  • AI co-workers for order entry and more

    The Order Entry co-worker turns emailed and PDF purchase orders into sales orders in your ERP. Quoting, Buyer Assistant, Sales Copilot, Accounts and Catalogue co-workers handle the rest, and your buyers’ own AI agents can place orders through our MCP server.

  • An Australian team, with your data in Sydney

    Our team is in Australia and customer data is hosted in Sydney. Our onboarding programme takes you live in about 30 days, and an implementation partner is on hand for custom work.

When Shopify B2B might suit you better

Shopify B2B is a good product. It can be the better choice if:

  • You mainly sell direct to consumers and want to run wholesale from the same store, with B2B and retail side by side.
  • You want published plan prices in Australian dollars, with B2B features from the Basic plan up.
  • You want Shopify’s wide range of themes and apps, and workflow automation through Shopify Flow.

TierCommerce vs Shopify B2B questions

Is TierCommerce a good Shopify B2B alternative for B2B?

TierCommerce connects natively to MYOB, Pronto Xi, Options, NetSuite and others, gives every account its own pricing and catalogue, and adds approvals, online invoice payment, PunchOut and AI order entry. If you mainly sell direct to consumers, Shopify B2B may suit you better.

Can I move from Shopify B2B to TierCommerce?

Yes. Because products, stock, customers and pricing come live from your ERP, most of your catalogue and account data arrives when we connect it. Our onboarding programme then sets up your trade accounts and takes you live in about 30 days.
