Getting started
Installation and initial setup
How do I install ZS B2B Gateway?

Installation takes about 60 seconds:

  • Visit the Shopify App Store and search for "ZS B2B Gateway"
  • Click Add app and approve the requested permissions
  • You'll land on the Dashboard with a guided setup checklist
  • Follow the steps to publish your first wholesale form

No coding or theme editing required. The app works on every Shopify theme via the App Embed system.

Does it work on both Shopify Plus and standard plans?

Yes — ZS B2B Gateway is built for both. The app automatically detects your plan and adjusts the workflow:

  • Shopify Plus stores — Approved applicants are created as B2B Companies with native catalog assignment, location-based pricing, and full B2B checkout support.
  • Standard plans — Approved applicants become tagged customers with wholesale tags. Tag-based discount rules apply automatically via Shopify Discounts.

Both flows give your wholesale customers the same purchasing experience — different mechanism, same outcome.

How long does the full setup take?

Most merchants are live with a working wholesale form in under 15 minutes:

  • Install & permissions — 1 min
  • Form builder customization — 5–8 min
  • Email template review — 2 min
  • Pricing rule (optional) — 3 min
  • Publish to storefront — 1 min
Do I need coding skills?

No. Everything is configured through visual editors:

  • Drag-and-drop form builder with live preview
  • Visual rule builders for auto-tagging, pricing, and visibility
  • WYSIWYG email template editor
  • One-click theme block installation

If you can use Shopify admin, you can use ZS B2B Gateway.

Will it conflict with my current theme or apps?

No. The form appears as a floating button or embedded section that you can position anywhere. It doesn't modify your theme files or interfere with other apps.

The price visibility feature uses a theme app block that you opt-in to add — it never edits theme code directly.

Features
What the app can do
Can I customize the application form?

Yes — extensively. The drag-and-drop form builder lets you:

  • Add unlimited custom fields (text, dropdown, checkbox, radio, file upload, date, number)
  • Reorder fields by drag-and-drop
  • Set required/optional, validation rules, and help text
  • Change brand colors, fonts, and button text
  • Choose between popup, embedded, or both display modes
  • Customize the success message after submission

Four core fields (First Name, Last Name, Email, Company) are required for the app to function but their labels can be edited.

How does auto-tagging work?

Auto-tagging applies tags to applications based on the data submitted in the form:

  • Create rules with conditions (e.g., "Business Type equals Distributor")
  • Use AND/OR logic to combine multiple conditions
  • Set the tags to apply when conditions match
  • Rules evaluate instantly when a form is submitted
  • Tags carry over to the Shopify customer record on approval

You can also enable "Sync to Shopify segment" on any rule to automatically create a matching customer segment in Shopify.

How do tag-based discounts work?

You create a pricing rule inside the app (e.g., "wholesale customers get 25% off all products"). The app then:

  • Creates a matching automatic discount in your Shopify Discounts page
  • Links it to the customer tags you specified
  • Applies the discount automatically at checkout for tagged customers
  • Syncs updates whenever you edit the rule
  • Removes the discount from Shopify if you delete or disable the rule

No need to manually create or maintain Shopify discounts — the app does it for you.

Can I hide prices from non-wholesale visitors?

Yes. Price Visibility rules let you control who sees your prices:

  • Hide price — removes the price element silently
  • Login required — shows "Log in to see price" prompt
  • Wholesale only — shows a custom message for non-wholesale visitors
  • Hide product entirely — removes the product card from collection pages

You can scope rules to specific collections or products, and use bypass tags so approved wholesale customers always see prices.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes — the storefront form is fully mobile-responsive with touch-optimized inputs, large tap targets, and real-time validation. Over 60% of wholesale applications typically come from mobile.

The admin interface inside Shopify also works on mobile and tablet through the Shopify Mobile app.

Can I bulk approve applications?

Yes. Select multiple applications using checkboxes in the Applications list, then click Bulk approve. The system queues them for processing in the background — you'll get a confirmation toast and can keep working while approvals process.

Bulk approve is available on the Pro and Plus plans.

💰
Pricing & billing
Plans, payments, and refunds
Is there a free plan?

Yes. The Free plan includes up to 5 wholesale applications per month, the drag-and-drop form builder, basic email notifications, and the dashboard. It's perfect for testing or low-volume stores.

No credit card required to install.

Can I upgrade or downgrade anytime?

Yes. Plan changes take effect immediately through Shopify's billing system. Upgrades are prorated based on your billing cycle. Downgrades take effect at the end of the current billing period.

If you downgrade below your current usage (e.g., from Pro to Starter with 100 applications already this month), the app will continue to work but new applications will be limited to the plan's quota until the next billing cycle.

Do you offer refunds?

Billing is handled through Shopify's app billing system. Refunds are reviewed case-by-case — if you're unhappy with the app within the first 14 days, contact us at contact@zilancer.com and we'll work with you.

What happens if I exceed my plan's limit?

On the Free and Starter plans, once you hit the monthly application limit, new submissions will be paused and your applicants will see a "Temporarily unavailable" message. You'll receive an email and admin notification to upgrade.

Pro and Plus plans have no application limits.

Are there any hidden fees?

No. The price you see on the pricing page is what you pay — no per-application fees, no transaction fees, no add-ons.

If you use file uploads heavily (over 10 GB of stored files per month), we'll reach out about a custom storage tier — but this is rare.

🛠
Technical
Performance, security, and data
Will it slow down my store?

No. The wholesale form button uses asynchronous loading — it doesn't block page rendering. The form itself loads only when a customer clicks the button.

Lighthouse scores typically show under 5ms impact on page load with the floating button active. The price visibility theme block adds zero perceived latency.

Is my data secure?

Yes. Security measures include:

  • TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit
  • AES-256 encryption at rest
  • HMAC-verified Shopify webhooks
  • OAuth 2.0 with minimum required scopes
  • Regular dependency vulnerability scans
  • Multi-factor authentication on all production access

Read our full Privacy Policy and Security page for details.

What happens to my data if I uninstall?

Within 48 hours of uninstall, the app triggers Shopify's mandatory data deletion webhooks. We delete:

  • All wholesale applications and form data
  • Uploaded files from our storage
  • Pricing rules, tagging rules, visibility rules
  • Email templates and settings
  • Audit logs and session data

Customer records, tags, and discounts already created in your Shopify store remain in your store — they belong to you. Only the app's own database records are deleted.

Where is my data stored?

Application data is stored in Neon (PostgreSQL, US/EU regions). Uploaded files are stored in Cloudflare R2 (global edge network). Emails are sent via Resend (US).

Full sub-processor list is in our Privacy Policy.

Does it work with my custom theme?

Yes. The app uses Shopify's App Embed and Theme App Block systems, which are theme-agnostic. We've tested with Dawn, Sense, Refresh, Studio, Trade, and the most popular third-party themes (Impulse, Prestige, Empire, etc.).

If you have a heavily customized theme, the theme blocks can be repositioned via the theme editor's section drag handles.
