- Shipping profiles are giving way to shipping options by marketShipping options by market, which replace shipping profiles and their zones, start rolling out to merchants on October 1, 2026, and all merchants will be on it by July 1, 2027. Until a store is upgraded, the zones requirement below works as Shopify's B2B page describes it; after the upgrade, shipping for B2B markets is customized in Markets.
Do B2B and retail buyers see the same shipping methods?
Yes, by default. In a blended store, the shipping methods that you set up are available to all customers by default, both B2B and D2C. A freight rate meant for wholesale reaches retail checkout too until you customize it.
Shop Promise and Local delivery aren't available in B2B checkout; for pickup, see our page on local pickup and delivery for B2B.
Zones decide whether B2B buyers see anything: if a B2B market doesn't have shipping zones configured in a shipping profile, then checkout doesn't display shipping options to your B2B customers.
That setup lives in shipping profiles, which are being replaced gradually: per Shopify's developer changelog, market-driven shipping starts rolling out to merchants on October 1, 2026, and all merchants will be on it by July 1, 2027. After the upgrade, Shopify's Help Center says you customize shipping for B2B markets in Markets; the pages on the new setup that we read on September 27, 2026 don't say what a B2B market with no shipping options shows at checkout. Our guide to market-driven shipping covers the switch.
Three ways to show a method to B2B buyers only
Narrowing who sees a method is a separate step, and Shopify names it plainly:
You can display different shipping options to specific customers or groups of customers.
Its three ways:
- Checkout Blocks, Shopify's own app — listed Free, with hiding delivery methods marked Shopify Plus.
- A third-party App Store app. As listed on September 22, 2026, HideShip's Premium plan costs $3.99/month and hides methods by customer tag; ShipRight's Essential plan costs $4.99/month, and the listing names company among the conditions on its free development plan.
- A custom app on the Delivery Customization Function API.
Which route works on your plan?
On Plus, Checkout Blocks adds no app bill. The custom-app route is Plus-gated: only stores on a Shopify Plus plan can use custom apps that contain Shopify Function APIs. The Help Center says only that Shopify Functions are available on all plans.
Below Plus, the App Store route remains: Shopify's developer docs say stores on any plan can use public App Store apps that contain functions, while some Shopify Functions capabilities are Plus-only. Check each listing for a plan requirement.
Same method, different B2B price? That is a shipping discount, not visibility — see our page on targeting a shipping discount at B2B customers.
