Shopify's help center lists all four. The plan question comes down to catalogs. On the Basic, Grow and Advanced plans, Shopify's help center says you can have "up to 3 active catalog assignments across active B2B markets." If your accounts need more catalog assignments than that, the limit is the first thing to check when you weigh those plans against Shopify Plus. Payment terms come next. In Shopify's words, "Payment terms define how long a company has to pay for an order." A build covers architecture, design, theme and app development, ERP and system integration, data migration with SEO redirects, and launch. Before any of that, a B2B store needs answers to a few questions: - Company accounts: which buyers order under one company, and who at that company can place orders. - Price lists and catalogs: how the account pricing in your ERP maps to Shopify catalogs within your plan's limit. - Payment terms: which accounts get terms and how long each one has to pay. - One store or two: whether to unify B2B and direct-to-consumer sales on one Shopify store. Some trade accounts need more than a storefront. [Uncap Portal](/products/portal) gives them a self-serve home on Shopify for catalogs, pricing, reorders, invoices and users, so buyers help themselves and sales reps stop fielding the same requests. See [how Uncap scopes a Shopify build](/commerce). ## Connecting Shopify to the ERP that runs your warehouse Uncap integrates Shopify with ERP and back-office systems from 13 vendors: Acumatica, Cin7, Epicor, Fishbowl, Infor, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, Odoo, Oracle, QuickBooks, Sage, SAP and Syspro. The [Uncap integrations library](/integrations) gives every vendor on that list a page of its own. Depending on the system, the integration runs through Uncap Connect or a managed integration, and the team confirms fit for your ERP and version directly. [Uncap Connect](/products/connect) starts at $8,000 to set up and then a flat $390 per month. The first integration conversation goes faster when you bring a few answers with you: - System and version: which ERP you run today, and whether an upgrade is planned. - Where pricing lives: the tables or price levels that hold account pricing. - Stock locations: which warehouses and branches hold inventory that buyers should see. - Order flow: how a web order should land in the ERP, and who touches it next. For a sense of scale, Uncap client [ULE Group](/work/ulegroup), an electrical, power and lighting supply distributor, runs a distributor storefront with 250,000+ SKUs on Shopify B2B. ## Uncap clients in Riverside and beyond [Microfiber Wholesale](/work/microfiberwholesale) lists its office and warehouse in Riverside on its own website. It is a 75-year-old, family-owned business that sells cleaning and janitorial supplies such as towels, mops and dusters to households, retailers and businesses. Its old website ran on a legacy platform, and all of its data had to stay intact through the move. Uncap migrated the site to Shopify Plus and imported all website data, customer information and content. The result, in the case study's words: "A stable and scalable solution for reaching B2B customers." All project objectives were achieved within the requested timeframe. [Pawstruck](/work/pawstruck), another Uncap client, sells made-in-the-USA pet food, chews and supplements. Its case study records "Completion of the project and achievement of goals within 45 days." Kyle Goguen, Founder & CEO, put it this way: "Uncap has consistently surpassed our expectations." Reviews from other Uncap clients are collected on the [Uncap testimonials page](/testimonials). ## How an Uncap engagement runs, step by step An engagement runs in this order. Scope is fixed before the build starts. - Plan with Uncap Blueprint. A $7,500 fixed-price, four-week migration blueprint covering architecture, integrations and total cost of ownership, yours to keep. The fee is credited 1:1 toward implementation. - Kick off on site. Uncap's team, based at its Chicago headquarters, travels to your location for kickoff. - Agree the scope. The build is fixed scope: timeline and budget are agreed before the build starts. - Build or migrate. A new build runs about 12 weeks from discovery to launch. A migration from another platform typically takes 10 to 16 weeks, and the median cutover is around 14 weeks. Unifying B2B and B2C on a Shopify store you already run takes 4 to 8 weeks. - Launch with hypercare. The team comes back on site for key milestones, and launch includes a hypercare period. - Keep improving. Once the store is live, an ongoing monthly engagement keeps working on conversion, order value, retention and operations. Plans run from $2,500 a month, priced to the work. ## Where to start from where you are today The right first step depends on what you run now. - Still on a legacy platform: start with the four-week Blueprint. You get the architecture, the integration plan and the total cost of ownership on paper before you sign a build contract. - Already on Shopify, selling to consumers only: check how many catalog assignments your B2B markets need against the limit of 3 below Plus, then plan how trade buyers join the same store. - On Shopify B2B already, with web orders still keyed into the ERP by hand: start with the integration questions above. - ERP is the open question: name the system and version, and the team confirms fit for your ERP and version directly.

Wherever you sit between Long Beach and San Bernardino, the first call is about how your accounts buy today.
