Shopify B2B Agency in Greenville and Spartanburg

This page is for companies in Anderson, Greenville, Laurens, Pickens, Spartanburg or Union county whose buyers are other businesses. Below you will find federal figures for each of the two metros, the Shopify B2B setup trade accounts depend on, and how Uncap, a Shopify Platinum Partner, runs the project with on-site visits from Uncap's Chicago-based team.

Greenville and Spartanburg sit next to each other, but federal statistics count them as two places. The Census Bureau's July 2023 delineation lists the Greenville-Anderson-Greer, SC metro as Anderson, Greenville, Laurens and Pickens counties, and the Spartanburg, SC metro as Spartanburg and Union counties. Both belong to the Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson, SC combined statistical area. This page covers businesses in all six counties and keeps each metro's figures apart.

Manufacturing is concentrated in both. In 2024 annual averages from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, Greenville-Anderson-Greer had 1,548 private manufacturing establishments employing 59,418 people. Manufacturing's share of all local jobs there was 1.68 times the national share, a measure BLS calls the location quotient.

Spartanburg had 644 private manufacturing establishments employing 39,159 people in 2024. Its manufacturing location quotient was 2.93.

Monthly payroll counts come from a different BLS survey, Current Employment Statistics. For September 2026 (preliminary, not seasonally adjusted), it puts manufacturing employment at 61,600 in Greenville-Anderson-Greer, up from 60,600 in September 2025. Spartanburg's September 2026 figure was 41,800, up from 41,000 a year earlier.

This page is written for the materials and component makers in those counts, the companies whose buyers run plants of their own. In Greenville-Anderson-Greer, BLS QCEW data for 2024 shows 102 private plastics and rubber products manufacturing establishments in the metro employing 8,729 people, with an employment location quotient of 4.37.

The same 2024 data lists 178 machinery manufacturing establishments with 8,317 jobs (location quotient 2.71) and 118 chemical manufacturing establishments with 6,142 jobs (2.48). Durable goods merchant wholesalers add 802 establishments and 12,348 jobs, a location quotient of 1.31.

Textile mills stand out in both metros. In 2024, Greenville-Anderson-Greer had 42 textile mill establishments with 3,610 jobs, an employment location quotient of 15.33. Spartanburg had 31 with 1,760 jobs, a location quotient of 19.72.

A store that sells to another manufacturer has a particular job. The buyer logs in as part of a company, sees the prices in that company's agreement, reorders the same part numbers, and asks for a quote when a run is custom. Uncap designs the store around that buyer. The manufacturing page covers the wider picture, and the industrial machinery page covers equipment sellers.

Spartanburg's 2024 BLS counts point to vehicle components and freight. The metro had 55 private transportation equipment manufacturing establishments, 3.99 times the national share of establishments. Of those, 33 were motor vehicle parts makers, an establishment location quotient of 7.00. BLS does not publish employment for these industries in Spartanburg, so only establishment counts appear here.

Private truck transportation in Spartanburg counted 260 establishments and 4,181 jobs in 2024, an employment location quotient of 2.63.

South Carolina Ports runs Inland Port Greer, a 91-acre terminal on I-85 in Greer. In SC Ports' words, import loads discharged in Charleston in the morning "will be available in Greer by 8:00 the next morning, 6 days per week," moved by Norfolk Southern rail, and the terminal has 24/7 gates. SC Ports places it 212 miles inland from Charleston and approximately halfway between Atlanta and Charlotte, and says the terminal's flexibility works for "manufacturers running tight production lines."

On a B2B store, that timing turns into a lead-time question from buyers. If inbound material can arrive overnight, the ship date on a product page should come from the same stock and receiving data your planners use. Which system holds that data, and how the store reads it, gets settled during planning.

A common question is whether wholesale on Shopify needs Shopify Plus. Shopify B2B runs on the Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus plans. What changes below Plus is the catalog limit: Shopify's help center says that on Basic, Grow and Advanced "you can have up to 3 active catalog assignments across active B2B markets," and that the limit doesn't apply on Plus. If your price lists need more assignments than that, plan for Plus from the start.

The B2B pieces a materials or component supplier tends to use:

• Companies: Shopify defines a company as "the parent organization for one or more company locations," and a location as the business you sell to.
• Catalogs: contract prices and product sets, assigned through B2B markets or, on Plus, directly to a company location.
• Payment terms: in Shopify's words, "Payment terms define how long a company has to pay for an order."
• Deposits: "Deposit requirements are available only on the Shopify Plus plan."
• Checkout: Shop Pay, Shop Cash and Shop Pay Installments are incompatible with Shopify B2B checkout.

Two Uncap Products fit this kind of seller. Uncap Quotes turns the catalog into account-specific quotes that buyers can configure, price and check out themselves, so reps stop rebuilding the same quote in a spreadsheet. With Uncap Portal, trade accounts get a self-serve home on Shopify where they handle catalogs, pricing, reorders, invoices and users themselves.

Your ERP stays the system of record. The store shows buyers the prices and stock the ERP holds. Uncap connects Shopify to ERP and back-office software from 13 vendors. They are Epicor, Infor, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, SAP, Sage, Acumatica, Syspro, Oracle, Fishbowl, Cin7, QuickBooks and Odoo. The integrations page lists the systems and versions with their own pages.

The link to your ERP runs either through Uncap Connect or through a managed integration, depending on the system. Either way, the team checks fit for your ERP and its version before the work is scoped. Uncap Connect costs $8,000 to set up, then $390 a month.

Contract price lists, units of measure, customer numbers and ship-to addresses all need a home on both sides. Uncap Blueprint covers the ERP mapping and data taxonomy before any build starts. One published example: for Kooks Headers and Exhaust, a performance automotive manufacturer, Uncap's build integrated Infor Visual ERP with a single Shopify store serving retail and wholesale buyers.

Projects run in a fixed order, and the scope is agreed before the build starts.

1. Kickoff on site. Uncap's team, based at its Chicago headquarters, travels to you for kickoff and again at key milestones.
2. Plan with Uncap Blueprint. Uncap Blueprint is a $7,500 fixed-price, four-week plan covering architecture, data taxonomy, SEO and ERP mapping. If you then build with Uncap, the fee counts 1:1 toward implementation.
3. Build. Senior people cover architecture, design, theme and app development, ERP and system integration, plus data migration with SEO redirects. Uncap's build work is fixed scope, with the timeline and budget agreed before the build starts.
4. Move your store. Moving from another platform usually takes 10 to 16 weeks, with Uncap's median cutover landing around 14 weeks. Starting fresh, without a migration, takes about 12 weeks from discovery to launch. Read more on migrations.
5. Launch. Uncap runs each project to completion and closes it with a hypercare launch.
6. Keep improving. Uncap's growth service is an ongoing monthly engagement on conversion, order value, retention and operations, with plans from $2,500 a month.

If you already run Shopify for retail and want to add wholesale accounts, unifying B2B and B2C on a Shopify store you already run takes 4 to 8 weeks.

The two case studies below are Uncap clients whose work fits the industries on this page. They are not presented as Greenville or Spartanburg companies.

• Kooks Headers and Exhaust: a 60-year performance automotive manufacturer that replatformed its retail and wholesale business onto a single Shopify B2B and D2C store. Wholesale buyers got secure portals with custom pricing. Conversion rose 22% and total cost of ownership fell 38%.
• Sanitaire: For nearly 50 years, Sanitaire has made commercial cleaning equipment such as carpet extractors and backpack vacuums. Uncap migrated its legacy platform to Shopify Plus, kept all customer information and data, and integrated its ERP system.

A Kooks sales and marketing manager put it this way: "Denis was incredible and very honest and transparent with us when we voiced our needs and concerns."

Reviews are public. Uncap holds a 5.0 rating from 77 reviews on Clutch, 5.0 from 64 on Google and 4.6 from 20 on Trustpilot. More client comments are on the testimonials page.

The first call goes faster with a few facts on the table. Bring what you can of the list below, and the team will tell you which plan fits, what the integration involves and where to start.

• How many active price lists or contract catalogs you run, and for how many accounts.
• Your ERP and its version, plus any warehouse or quoting system beside it.
• Your current ecommerce platform, if you have one, and the order history you need to keep.
• How buyers order today: by phone, email, rep visit or an existing portal.
• Which county your plant or warehouse is in, so the on-site kickoff can be planned.

Nothing on that list has to be finished or tidy. A rough count of price lists and the name of the ERP are enough for a useful first conversation. You can start with Blueprint, or with a fixed-scope build if the plan is already clear. Talk to Our Experts to set up the call.
