A strong brand and consumer sales
Shopify is a strong fit when a consumer brand wants to add wholesale. The brand can stay on the same system.
Nomad vs Shopify B2B: two different centers.

01 / Where Shopify B2B is strong
A strong system with a clear focus.
Shopify B2B is a serious option. Here is where it fits best.
02
Many app choices
ERP, product data, tax, and shipping needs can often be met through apps and partners.
03
Fast setup on your own
Site designs, checkout, and a broad partner network can shorten the path to a first B2B store.
02 / Where Nomad is different
The customer site is built around the ERP.
Nomad is narrower by design. It uses one set of ERP data and one B2B platform. You do not need extra software.
01
Built for your ERP
Nomad reads and writes directly to the ERP. Contract prices, stock, terms, and orders stay in the one system that holds the facts.
02
Complex B2B comes first
Catalogs, configurators, quantity rules, and portals are built in — not stitched together from paid apps.
03
No extra software
One team owns the store, ERP link, and way customers buy. There are fewer moving parts to manage.
03 / The ERP question
Why the ERP connection matters more than anything else.
The online store is only as good as the data behind it.
The point
Where does the customer site end and the ERP begin?
If your ERP owns price, stock, terms, and history, your catalog, configurator, cart, and portal must read it live.
Your ERP stays the single source of truth. Nomad is the fast, modern B2B buying layer on top.
Choose Shopify B2B when DTC leads. Choose Nomad when your ERP holds complex pricing, stock, and order rules.

05 / Questions to ask
The questions we would ask in your place.
A good demo answers these with a live example, not a slide.
Shopify B2B supports product catalogs, quantity rules, and volume pricing. Complex contract setups may need apps or custom work. Check your exact model.
Yes, through data links, apps, and partners. Ask what data goes back, how errors are handled, and who owns the connection.
When your ERP drives pricing, stock, configurators, and portals — without third-party apps.
Some teams do. The trade-off is two customer sites and two data paths. Consumer and B2B stay clearly separate.
