Custom Ordering Permissions

Custom Ordering Permissions

Custom Ordering Permissions give merchants total control over customer access and ordering permissions. By assigning custom statuses—such as view-only, pending approval, or on hold—you can fine-tune front-end visibility and purchasing capabilities with precision.

Details

Control who can buy what–and how–inside a single Shopify store. Custom Ordering Permissions adds account and role based rules so buyers can only see and purchase the products, variants, quantities, or price lists they are authorized for.

This is especially useful when one company has multiple buyers, locations, or departments with different purchasing rights. The goal is fewer ordering mistakes, less manual intervention, and cleaner handoff to ERP and fulfillment.
How It Works

Rules are evaluated against the logged-in customer and their company context (for example: company, location, tags, or custom fields). The storefront experience is adjusted accordingly, such as hiding restricted items, preventing add-to-cart, blocking checkout, or validating order contents before the order is created.
B2B Use Cases
  • Limit purchasing to approved catalogs by role, location, or customer segment
  • Prevent non-contract items from being ordered on account terms
  • Enforce quantity limits for controlled or allocated SKUs
  • Reduce order edits caused by unauthorized purchases
