Onboarding new wholesale customers has always been one of those things that takes far longer than it should. Missing documents, back-and-forth emails, manual data entry, spreadsheets that are out of date the moment you save them. It's not a great experience for your team, and it's not a great first impression for your customers either.
SparkLayer Forms is our fix for that.
What is SparkLayer Forms?
SparkLayer Forms is a native wholesale registration and B2B customer onboarding tool built directly into SparkLayer. It lets Shopify merchants create branded wholesale application forms that live directly on their storefront - capturing company details, tax IDs, documents, and custom fields in a single submission.
Unlike generic form builders, SparkLayer Forms is built specifically for B2B wholesale workflows. The form, the review process, the approval, and the customer account setup all happen in one place - inside SparkLayer, connected directly to your store.
How it works
The workflow is straightforward:
Build your form
Create a fully customisable wholesale application form using a drag-and-drop builder. Add the fields you need - company details, VAT numbers, tax certificates, resale licences, custom questions - and organise them across multi-page flows with progress indicators to keep things simple for applicants.
Embed it on your store
SparkLayer Forms is a native wholesale application form builder for Shopify - add your form to any page of your website, whether that's a dedicated trade account page, your homepage, or alongside existing content.
Review applications in SparkLayer
New submissions appear instantly in your SparkLayer dashboard. Your team can review responses, expand answers, view uploaded documents, and approve or reject applications with a single click. Assign customer groups, tags, and rules as part of the approval process.
Accounts set up automatically
This is where it gets good. SparkLayer automates B2B customer onboarding by connecting wholesale application forms directly to customer account creation - automatically applying B2B status, customer groups, tags, and Sales Agent assignments on approval. No manual setup, no re-keying data into your platform.
Customers start ordering immediately
Once approved, customers are notified and can log in straight away - seeing their B2B pricing, payment terms, and account details just like any other SparkLayer wholesale customer.
What you can do with it
A few of the things merchants are already using SparkLayer Forms for:
- Wholesale account applications - the core use case. Replace email-based applications with a structured, professional form that captures everything you need upfront
- Trade credit requests - let customers apply for credit terms directly through your storefront, with full visibility and control over approvals
- B2B contact and enquiry forms - capture structured enquiries from prospective wholesale customers and route them into the right onboarding workflow
- Change of details forms - make it easy for existing customers to update their account information without contacting your team
- Product registration - collect product and customer data, including proof of purchase and compliance documents
Built for the whole team
SparkLayer Forms is designed to work for everyone involved in wholesale onboarding.
For your sales and operations team - less time buried in admin, more time selling. Review and approve applications in one place, with all the information you need and no chasing.
