Shopify B2B Agency in Portland, Oregon

Manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers in Portland, Oregon, and anywhere else in the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA metro can bring their Shopify B2B build to Uncap, whether the business sits in Beaverton, Hillsboro or Vancouver, Washington. Uncap, a Shopify Platinum Partner, is headquartered in Chicago, and its team comes to your business in person for kickoff and for key milestones.

Semiconductor and other electronic component manufacturing accounted for 26,400 jobs across the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA metro in September 2026, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (preliminary, not seasonally adjusted). They are part of a larger group of 31,700 computer and electronic product manufacturing jobs. Both figures were lower than their September 2025 counts.

A second BLS dataset, the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), counts business locations. For 2024 it shows an average of 162 private semiconductor and electronic component establishments here, and the industry's share of the metro's establishments ran 2.72 times its share across the country. BLS withholds QCEW employment for this industry in this metro, so the job count comes from the monthly survey instead.

Across every kind of manufacturing, QCEW lists 4,156 private establishments and 121,501 employees for 2024, a share of local jobs 1.21 times the national one. The monthly survey had manufacturing at 111,900 jobs in September 2026 (preliminary), compared with 115,200 in September 2025.

For component makers and the distributors who stock their parts, Uncap builds electronic components ecommerce on Shopify with search tuned for spec-first buying, datasheets and compliance data on the product page, and pricing that knows the difference between a full reel, a part reel and cut tape.

BLS QCEW figures for 2024 put 143 private apparel, piece goods and notions merchant wholesalers in the metro, with 2,027 employees between them. Measured by jobs, that industry was 1.84 times as concentrated here as it was nationally.

If your company sells to retail accounts and to the public, Shopify lets one store handle both: trade accounts sign in to B2B catalogs and payment terms, and consumers shop the regular storefront. The two sides differ at checkout. Shop Pay, Shop Cash and Shop Pay Installments appear on Shopify's list of payment methods incompatible with Shopify B2B, which means trade orders need a different payment setup.

Uncap's fashion and apparel builds are set up for retail buyers and corporate accounts ordering at their own prices and terms, by style, color and size. On the consumer side of the category, Uncap moved Mata Traders, an ethical women's fashion brand, onto Shopify, bringing its site information and customer data across and building a customized design.

Both port authorities on the Columbia River describe their own terminals. According to the Port of Portland, its marine terminals sit at the confluence of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, and Terminal 6 handles autos, containers and breakbulk with an on-dock railyard. The Port says the Oregon Container Terminal at Terminal 6 provides a direct link to key Asian markets, moves cargo that includes electronics and apparel, and has direct access to BNSF Railway and Union Pacific Railroad lines.

At the airport, the Port's air cargo page leads with "From semiconductors to jeans, vital goods move through PDX." It puts Portland International Airport 12 miles from downtown. The Port's Rivergate Industrial District covers 2,800 acres nine miles northwest of downtown, holds more than 14 million square feet of buildings, and offers access to freeways, railroads and marine terminals.

Across the river in Washington, the Port of Vancouver USA reports 7.49 million metric tons of cargo in 2024, and its site features Foreign Trade Zone #296.

Both BLS surveys also track wholesale employment. The monthly count stood at 54,400 wholesale trade jobs in September 2026 (preliminary), down from 55,300 in September 2025. In QCEW, the 2024 average was 6,007 private wholesale trade establishments with 55,413 employees, and wholesale's share of local jobs stood at 1.16 times the national share.

You can sell to trade accounts on the Basic, Grow, Advanced and Plus plans, because Shopify B2B is part of all four. Plus is not required to start. The plans differ in capacity. Below Plus, a store gets up to 3 active catalog assignments across active B2B markets, and Plus removes that limit. Deposit requirements are a Plus feature. Shopify's own definition of terms is short: "Payment terms define how long a company has to pay for an order."

Uncap delivers the store as a single fixed-scope project covering architecture, design, theme and app development, ERP and system integration, data migration with SEO redirects, and launch. You know the timeline and the budget before any build work begins.

Three of Uncap's products sit on top of Shopify B2B. With Uncap Quotes, buyers configure, price and check out account-specific quotes from your catalog on their own. Uncap Diagrams puts interactive exploded diagrams on the storefront so a buyer can click a part and add it to the cart without a part number. Uncap Portal is a self-serve home on Shopify where trade accounts handle catalogs, pricing, reorders, invoices and users. Uncap's Shopify B2B page covers the platform side in more depth.

Uncap's integration list covers ERP and back-office systems from 13 vendors today: Acumatica, Cin7, Epicor, Fishbowl, Infor, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, Odoo, Oracle, QuickBooks, Sage, SAP and Syspro. Each vendor has a page under integrations, and Epicor, Infor, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage and SAP also have pages for individual products.

The route depends on the system. Some connect through Uncap Connect and others through a managed integration, and the Uncap team checks fit for your exact ERP and version directly. Connect pricing is published: $8,000 to onboard, then $390 a month at a flat rate.

One Uncap case study comes from electrical distribution. ULE Group, an electrical, power and lighting supply distributor, had its catalog of over 250,000 SKUs moved by Uncap onto a Shopify B2B storefront. Inventory and pricing sync from its Epicor ERP, a Product Information Management system keeps the catalog in order, and on-site search gives buyers more than 100 filters. B2B customers see account-based pricing. The full story is on the ULE Group case study.

1. Start with a plan. Uncap Blueprint takes four weeks at a fixed $7,500 and produces the architecture, an ERP integration roadmap, a replatforming risk assessment and a total cost of ownership picture. You keep the plan whatever you decide next, and if Uncap goes on to implement it, the whole fee comes off the build.
2. Meet on site. For kickoff, Uncap's team travels from its Chicago headquarters to your business, on the Oregon or the Washington side, and it returns for key milestones.
3. Build or move. Plan on roughly 12 weeks from discovery to launch for a new store. Moving an existing store from another platform typically lands at 10 to 16 weeks, with Uncap's median cutover around 14 weeks. Bringing B2B and B2C together on a store already running Shopify takes 4 to 8 weeks. Details on moves are on the migrations page.
4. Keep going after launch. A monthly engagement keeps working on conversion, order value, retention and operations once the store is live, and plans begin at $2,500 a month.

Start with the credentials. Uncap is a Shopify Platinum Partner, and on its review profiles Clutch shows 5.0 from 77 reviews, Google 5.0 from 64 and Trustpilot 4.6 from 20. The testimonials page gathers what clients have written.

Uncap's published case studies do not yet include a company from the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro metro. ULE Group and Mata Traders, linked above, are Uncap clients based outside this metro, included as examples of electrical distribution and fashion work. The ULE Group case study walks through the Epicor connection and a catalog of over 250,000 SKUs, and the Mata Traders one covers a move to Shopify with customer data carried across. Each review profile is public, so you can read the reviews themselves before you call.
