Shopify announced on March 7 that it will allow merchants' B2B customers to enter flexible shipping addresses at checkout, improving order conversion rates. When the B2B customer logs into the store, they need to select a place to receive the purchase, and the system displays the price, payment term, and billing information that the merchant assigns to that place.
On each company location page, merchants can now set customers who place orders at that location to whether they can enter a new one-time address at checkout.
This allows customers to change the shipping address themselves, complete the consignment order, or send the order to a location not added to their account without the operations team having to manually change it.
