Are you ready to revolutionize the way your B2B customers order from you from just $49 per month?
SparkLayer allowed us to get B2B ordering up and running in a matter of weeks with very little technical effort, and negligible cost. We were so impressed with SparkLayer that we immediately decided to launch B2B ordering in the US.

Implementing SparkLayer meant we were able to prove the value of taking B2B online quickly to our internal stakeholders. It also meant that we have rapidly been able to provide a differentiated and improved customer experience for our customers.

Amazing solution for adding wholesale capabilities to a regular Shopify account! All in all an excellent, cohesive solution for adding wholesale functionality without needing a separate website. Definitely worth the effort to set up because of extra features being built in, like tiered pricing by customer category, integrated signup page, and a lot more. Highly recommend!

Excellent setup experience, easy to understand documentation, and all the features you could need. I tested out the other wholesale apps, and this is the best. This app doesn't have it's own wholesaler signup app, but there's plenty of other apps that help you make forms and that will work with this app, so that's no reason not to go with this one.
I really like how solid this app is built. The support is terrific. It's rare to find this good support on most Shopify apps.
The process on implementing SparkLayer to our store was very easy and painless. Support has been great! A feature I would like into the future is a modified version of the sales agent feature to make email & phone orders easier to process. Thanks SparkLayer for a very useful product.
In my experience, this app is undoubtedly the best B2B app I have come across. The level of support and the quality of the product are unparalleled. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch solution for their Shopify store.
SparkLayer has allowed us to streamline our B2B business by simplifying our ordering process. The platform has thoughtfully been designed around the B2B function and allows us to provide a functional platform for our B2B Customers to use and operate.
This is the best Shopify app we have ever used, and we use a lot of apps for our store. The user interface on the store front end is elegant out of the box and easy to adapt in the rare instances you would need to. The backend system is well thought out and simple to use. And the customer service is 5* from the moment you install the app.
This really is a game-changing app for anyone that wants to run a wholesale (B2B or Hybrid B2B & D2C) online shop and not have to pay for Shopify Plus.
Bang on the money. THANK YOU Sparklayer for understanding what we all needed and making it a simple process to implement. Orders are up and running and making a world of difference to our business and customer experience. :-)
We are extremely satisfied with the app. The features are amazing. Just like the documentation. You can tell that the developers of the app put a lot of effort into it. But what is even more important to us is the support behind it. The support is super fast and very helpful.
We were in need of an app that our sales team could use to place orders on behalf of customers in their territory. The team at Spark Layer have been super helpful in getting us setup and assisting us with any issues that we have. Keep up the great work guys!
Our team cannot express how incredible the SparkLayer team is with words. They exceeded every expectation in regard to customer service and implementation assistance. The app itself is very intuitive and thoroughly documented. It's possible to install this entirely on your own but we highly recommend allowing the SparkLayer team to assist you.
A fantastic app with a fantastic team behind it. There is no problem that they cannot resolve within a few hours. Exceptional assistance. This B2B app does everything our fashion B2B needs and they are constantly developing new features for it. Great job. Thanks.

SparkLayer works on all versions of Shopify, from Shopify Basic right through to Shopify Plus. All you need is an active Shopify store and you're good to go.
A good question! SparkLayer is designed to work for merchants using any Shopify plan and it's important to note that "B2B on Shopify" is only available to Shopify Plus merchants. We've a full guide here on the differences and how it compares to using SparkLayer.
The first step is to install the official SparkLayer for Shopify App. Once you've installed this on your Shopify store, our Onboarding Process then guides you through all the steps to get SparkLayer up and running: from setting up B2B price lists and customer groups, to installing special code snippets within your Shopify storefront theme.
You can even use our ready-made Shopify B2B theme and get up and running in less than 5 minutes!
See our Shopify installation guide.
Yes, we have an onboarding service that can assist you during the setup process. To get started, you can contact our technical support.
If you're signed up to the Professional or Enterprise plans, our team will also assist in the full onboarding process, from connecting to your B2B data through to configuring your Shopify store.
The short answer is "it depends". SparkLayer is designed to work on your existing Shopify store, meaning there's no need to set up a new store or duplicate content. There are a number of limitations to be aware of however, and we've put together a short guide to run through what to be aware of.
Yes! It's possible to install SparkLayer onto your existing Shopify B2C store (i.e. retail), meaning you can run both B2C and B2B on the same store. We call this a 'hybrid setup' and we've a guide here that explains how works.
When your B2B customers sign in, they simply see the special SparkLayer frontend widgets that allow them to see their prices and place orders.
Sometimes it can be better to separate out your B2B store onto a secondary Shopify store and we've detailed some of the common reasons.
Yes! We have a specially B2B-optimised Shopify Dawn theme that you can instantly install on your Shopify store. It comes pre-loaded with all the SparkLayer functionality as well as some handy modifications such as restricted login pages, B2B-only product configuration, a quick buy mode, and more. Learn more.
Yes! If you're setting up SparkLayer on a development store (e.g. a test account), we can enable a special developer-mode that lets you use SparkLayer until you're ready to activate a billing plan. Please contact us for more details.
No, SparkLayer can work without having to have a backend system in place (e.g. ERP, CMS, PIM). Once you've installed SparkLayer, you can set up B2B price lists and B2B customer rules all within the SparkLayer Dashboard. Learn more here.
If you have a backend system in place, it's possible to connect this with SparkLayer to automate B2B data directly from within your systems. You can see our latest integrations or explore the SparkLayer API.
If you have additional Shopify stores that require SparkLayer, it's necessary to install SparkLayer on each one. Please contact us and we'll be happy to discuss how this works as well as pricing.
Please refer to our pricing for more details.
If you're using our built-in tools to manage your pricing and customers, it's possible to set up SparkLayer in a matter of hours (or less!). Our team is on-hand to guide you through the set up process and can even help set up on your Shopify store for you.
For most extensive integrations - typically merchants using our Enterprise plan that require backend connections - set up times vary and we'll work closely with you to create a full project plan.
Yes, SparkLayer can work alongside other Shopify apps you may have installed on your Shopify store. It's important to be aware that SparkLayer will adjust the pricing on your Shopify store, so you'll need to make sure this is accommodated for with any apps that may do similar. If you have any queries, please contact us and our technical team will be able to advise.
Once you're install SparkLayer, there are a variety of ways you can make your Shopify store even more B2B friendly. These include: having a login screen, B2B registration forms, products and navigation that only show to B2B customers, displaying B2B content on product detail pages, and much more.
Read our guide on Shopify customisations you can implement.
If you're looking to implement more extensive B2B customisations on your Shopify store, please contact us and we'll be happy to recommend a partner to assist.
No. For performance, the SparkLayer Frontend only loads when a valid B2B customer successfully logs into a website; for your standard (B2C) customers, no code is loaded at all. When a B2B customer logs in, all loading of the interfaces is asynchronous which means a negligible impact on page load times and performance even though SparkLayer is a hosted third-party solution. The result is the end customer will have a rapid experience browsing products and placing orders.
Dutyman were initially running their B2C and B2B sales through two separate channels, with legacy websites set up for both customer bases. SparkLayer provided a foundation for Dutyman to sell to their wholesale customers, with customer groups, bespoke product and price lists, and B2B ordering and shipping features.
