Shopify B2B
JOOR
  • “We’re using Shopify Plus to run a very specific B2B store theme and website. Thanks to features such as Shopify Plus’s native B2B companies profiles, we can set up a new retailer in the wholesale website to make the user experience highly personalized to that customer.” -Kulani Kinis

  • “B2B on Shopify allows us to engage with these customers in a new way—kind of like a typical DTC customer but for B2B.” -Brooklinen
  • “All my vendors think it's terrific. The best part is that I can focus on my business when I get back from market, instead of writing orders.”  -Harrods
  • “Adopting JOOR is so easy because it offers simplicity, speed, and efficiency, which are the key elements for any buyer.”  -Printemps
  • “JOOR is changing our lives! With short deadlines imposed to the sales team, JOOR allows us to instantly capture and finalize orders to start the production in time.” -Loewe
  • “With JOOR, all we need is an iPad to book orders and their follow-up tools to achieve faster order confirmations. This has led to a huge transformation for our business and great success.” -R+A
  • “[With JOOR], we are interacting with bigger global partners [as well as those at] the boutique level.  When we started we had around 500-600 partners, and out of those 90% of them already were connected to JOOR. We made life easier for our clients and for ourselves. In wholesale, JOOR is a vital organ and I don’t think that many of us are able to live without it today.” -Stand Studio

5 Unique Things You Can Do With JOOR 

1) Advanced user permissions

JOOR provides users with advanced permission settings that enable them to set restrictions based on factors like geographical location, department, or customer account. Users can also specify access privileges for managing accounts, connections, inventory, linesheets, orders, and styles. JOOR allows for granular-level permission granting, allowing customization to meet the unique requirements of each user. This flexibility proves valuable for clients with multiple departments, offering enhanced control and adaptability.

2) Advanced assortment planning

JOOR provides retailers with advanced assortment planning tools that assist in managing size allocation by store locations and product attributes. Additionally, the platform gives retailers the ability to find, connect with, and shop from any brand available on JOOR, all from a single account.

3) Shoppable presentations

JOOR offers a presentation tool that enables brands to create shoppable lookbooks using rich multimedia, personalized for specific retailers. Additionally there are chat and commenting functions, allowing the brand to collaborate with buyers on product selections.

4) Full suite payment system and financing solution

JOOR simplifies collecting payments from retailers by accepting all major payment types (credit cards, bank transfers, PayPal, and net terms) through JOOR Pay, and offers financing through JOOR Capital

  • With solutions like JOOR Pay and JOOR Capital, JOOR facilitates cross-border transactions in 150 countries and 135 currencies

5) JOOR Passport: Virtual Tradeshows

JOOR collaborates with renowned tradeshows across the globe to host online fashion events that retailers can shop from. By integrating virtual showrooms, brands and retailers can discover, collaborate, and transact from anywhere in the world, organically building the largest curated global fashion marketplace.

Conclusion

While the idea of managing DTC and B2B together could be appealing, Shopify’s B2B execution lacks features that are essential for fashion brands and retailers to work together. JOOR is a far more robust wholesale solution that offers greater functionality for brands who are looking to benefit from a virtual showroom, shoppable lookbooks, collaboration tools, and global 24/7 customer support.

JOOR outshines Shopify B2B with the following features:

  • Comprehensive wholesale platform tailored to the needs of the fashion industry
  • Multiple languages in-platform
  • Global customer support via chat, email, and phone
  • Global financial services
