In a blended store, these features apply to both B2B and D2C customers. You can customize discounts and payment methods in the following ways:

• To restrict payment methods by customer type or region, use apps, such as Checkout Blocks or Payfy. You can also use the Payment Customization Function API.

You can't customize the other features to apply to specific customers or customer types in a blended store.

B2B order requirements and limitations

Review the following B2B orders requirements and limitations:

• B2B orders must be conducted with a B2B customer. A B2B customer must be set up and be associated with a company location in your Shopify admin at the time the order is placed. Your contracted B2B rates apply to orders that are conducted with these companies. If your order or draft order doesn't have a B2B customer or a company location assigned, then D2C rates are applied. You must ensure this criteria is met, so your contracted B2B rates are applied correctly.
• Orders have a maximum of 500 line items. If a customer places an order for more than 500 different products or variants, then the order will fail.
• Draft orders have a maximum of 200 line items. If you receive or create a draft order with more than 200 different products or variants, then the draft order will fail.
• Orders and draft orders with B2B customers or from the B2B checkout must be manually captured when they don't have a valid authorization and due on fulfillment payment terms.
