B2B is NOT a Business Model. It's a Channel. (and every Shopify store needs to leverage it)

Shopify1Percent - The Shopify Podcast to be the Top 1% of eCommerce Stores with Jay Myers

B2B is not a business model, it’s a channel.

In this episode we sit down with B2B e-commerce expert Jason Greenwood to discuss the massive opportunities in B2B e-commerce, how Shopify is evolving to support B2B merchants, and why D2C Shopify brands should consider adding a wholesale strategy to their business. From Amazon Business disrupting distribution to Shopify’s B2B tools and marketplaces, this episode is packed with actionable insights for merchants looking to future-proof their brands.

Key Takeaways:

✅ B2B is a Channel, Not a Business Model – Even D2C brands should consider wholesale to de-risk their business and drive growth.

✅ Shopify is Going All-In on B2B – Shopify Plus now includes B2B features like price lists, minimum order quantities, account-based pricing, and CSV bulk ordering.

✅ Amazon Business is Changing the Game – The fastest-growing segment of Amazon’s business is B2B, and it’s reshaping the distribution landscape.

✅ Marketplaces Are Exploding – With 1,000+ new B2B marketplaces launching by 2024, wholesale is evolving beyond traditional distribution.

✅ Simplicity is Key in B2B Pricing – Avoid the trap of over-complicated pricing tiers; simple, scalable structures make B2B growth manageable.
