BSS B2B Wholesale Pricing vs native B2B: tax, forms and per-customer prices
BSS is the most-reviewed app in this group (4.9 stars from 1,192 reviews when checked) and the cheapest way to get per-customer price lists ($99 Platinum) without Plus. Its Advanced plan ($49) adds tax-exempt handling, quantity increments and net terms. Native B2B covers terms, increments and tax exemptions per company location on every plan. Its limits are 3 catalogs below Plus and no conditional-logic application forms.
BSS pricing at a glance
From the Shopify App Store listing1, read Oct 20, 2026. Plan names and features are BSS's, trimmed for length.
| Plan | Price | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | Basic B2B price, basic registration management |
| Essential | $29/mo | Unlimited volume, quantity-break and custom pricing rules; approve applications; auto-tag wholesale customers |
| Advanced | $49/mo | Customer-specific pricing, tax-exempt at cart, order limits and minimum values, wholesale shipping rates, quantity increments, net terms |
| Platinum | $99/mo | Conditional-logic forms, variant-level price points, price lists per customer, bulk CSV import/export, ERP pricing API |
Tax exemptions are the sleeper feature
Wholesale buyers who resell are usually tax-exempt, and getting that wrong is expensive. BSS handles it at the cart on its $49 plan. Native B2B handles it on the company location: each location can carry a tax registration ID and exemptions, so the exemption follows the buyer into checkout without any app2. When we switch a store off BSS, the tax-exempt list is the first thing we import and the first thing we test with a real checkout.

Where BSS is genuinely ahead
Two things. First, price lists per customer without Plus: BSS Platinum allows them, native B2B below Plus stops at 3 catalogs. Second, smart forms with conditional logic, which native forms don't do. If either matters, BSS at $99 a month is far cheaper than Plus at $2,3005, and we'll say so.
When to keep BSS
- You have more than 3 customer-specific price lists and aren't on Plus. BSS Platinum does that for $99 a month.
- Your wholesale application needs conditional questions, for example asking for a resale certificate only from certain states.
- Your ERP already pushes prices into BSS through its API and that integration works.
Moving from BSS to native, in five steps
- Export BSS pricing rules, the customer tags they target, and the tax-exempt list.
- Create companies and locations, with tax exemptions set per location.
- Build catalogs and move quantity increments into quantity rules.
- Rebuild the application as a form plus a Shopify Flow approval.
- Price-check each buyer, then switch off BSS rules and uninstall.
