BSS B2B Solution: Recurring Orders
Recurring Orders is a BSS B2B Solution add-on that creates repeat B2B orders on a schedule. Shopify lists subscriptions as incompatible with B2B, so wholesale shops often retype the same order. You pick a buyer, products and a cycle. Each cycle creates a draft to review, or an order or invoice automatically, at the buyer's current B2B prices.
Shopify's B2B considerations page lists Subscriptions among the features that are not compatible with B2B, even though a wholesale buyer who orders the same cartons every month looks like a perfect subscription.
That leaves a wholesale shop with two common options. Someone on your team builds the same draft order by hand each cycle, with the right company location, prices and payment terms. Or the buyer places the order again each time, if they remember.
Shopify's subscription help describes customers choosing a subscription purchase option and paying an agreed price on a schedule. A wholesale account works differently. The price comes from B2B rules for that buyer, and payment often follows Net Terms.
Recurring Orders covers that gap. You set up the schedule once in the BSS B2B Solution admin. On each date, the app creates the order for you. The buyer does not have to log in or remember to reorder.
Shopify changes what B2B supports over time, so check its page before you rely on this comparison. We read it on November 9, 2026.
It fits shops whose wholesale buyers order the same list on a cycle. A cafe restocks every week. A retailer replenishes every month. A salon orders the same supplies every six weeks.
If most of your buyers order something different every time, you do not need a schedule. A reorder page, where the buyer repeats a past order on demand, is the better tool. The comparison below shows the difference.
Recurring Orders is an add-on, so start it first. Then open B2B orders & discounts > Recurring Orders.
Open Pricing plans, scroll to Add-ons and start the 14-day free trial. You need a paid plan: Essential, Advanced or Platinum. The Free plan cannot buy it. You do not need Net Terms. After you add it, the page may say Recurring Orders is getting ready while the app loads your pricing rules. It usually takes a few minutes.
Pick the customer. If the customer buys for a company, choose the company location next. The buyer and location cannot be changed later. To order for someone else, create a new schedule.
Search or browse and add the products that go into each order. One schedule holds up to 50 products, and each quantity can be 1 to 99,999. Prices are not stored here, because each cycle works them out again.
Under Repeat every, enter a number from 1 to 12 and choose weeks or months. Choose a First order date, today or later. Each order is created at about 6:00 AM store time on its date. If you choose months and a day after the 28th, shorter months use their last day.
Review creates a draft order each time. Auto creates the order, or sends the invoice, without your review. The next section shows what each one does.
Open the schedule and click Run now. It creates one draft order with today's B2B prices and does not change your dates. Run now makes only a draft, even in Auto, so nothing is sent to the buyer.
New to the app? Install it, then start the Recurring Orders trial. Already on a paid plan? Add it from Pricing plans.
Review is the default and the safer start. Use Auto for buyers whose orders you no longer check.
| Mode | Buyer | What each date creates | What the buyer gets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Review | Any buyer | A draft order at the buyer's B2B prices. You open it in Shopify and create the order or send the invoice. | Nothing until you send it. |
| Auto | A company location that has payment terms in Shopify | The order, with the location's payment terms, for example Net 30. | An order that is due by the payment terms, like your other Net Terms orders. |
| Auto | A customer with no company | A draft order, then Shopify emails the buyer an invoice. | An invoice by email. The order is created when the buyer pays. |
Auto is not offered for a company location that has no payment terms in Shopify. Add terms to the location or use Review. When you switch a schedule to Auto, orders go out without your review starting with the next date.
They are calculated again. Each order gets the B2B prices that apply to that buyer on its date, from your pricing rules. If you change a rule between two cycles, the next order uses the new price.
Example: a buyer gets 15% off a product listed at $20, so the first draft prices it at $17. You then change the rule to 20% off. The next draft prices it at $16.
If a buyer has a contract price that you must hold for a year, use Review mode and check each draft before you send it.
Changes to a schedule apply from the next order. Draft orders and orders that already exist do not change.
Recurring Orders starts from your admin on a schedule, Reorder starts from the logged-in buyer, and Shopify subscriptions start from the customer and are not compatible with B2B.
| Question | Recurring Orders | Reorder page in BSS B2B Quote | Shopify subscriptions |

Use Reorder when the buyer decides to repeat. Use Recurring Orders when you already know the order will come.
The schedule list shows each schedule's next date and its status: Active, Paused, Paused: add-on ended or Ended. Open a schedule to see its Run history. Each date lists the draft order or order it created, the result and any error.
You can pause, resume, edit or delete a schedule. Deleting stops all future orders. Draft orders and orders already created stay in Shopify.
Give a schedule a name such as Weekly cafe restock, and it shows in the list instead of the buyer's name. An order note is added to every draft the schedule creates.
Version one creates drafts, orders and invoices only. It does not charge cards, and some runs stop at a draft. Check the list before you promise a buyer anything.
Recurring Orders works on the paid plans Essential, Advanced and Platinum. The Free plan cannot buy it. Unlike Credit limit, it does not need Net Terms.
The add-on has a 14-day free trial. In Pricing plans, the Add-ons section shows the price and your new total before you confirm, and the add-on is added to your plan price.
When the trial or the add-on ends, your schedules are paused and kept. No draft orders or orders are created while it is off. After you add it again, open each schedule and click Resume.

It creates repeat orders for a B2B buyer on a schedule you set. You choose the buyer, the products and quantities, and a cycle of every 1 to 12 weeks or months. Each date creates a draft order for you to review, or an order or an invoice automatically, at the buyer's B2B prices for that date.
Shopify's B2B considerations page lists Subscriptions as not compatible with B2B. Check Shopify's page for any change since November 9, 2026. Recurring Orders is built for B2B accounts instead. It works with company locations, payment terms and your B2B pricing rules, and you set the schedule up in the admin. If your repeat orders only need Shopify's own catalog prices for company accounts, a simpler repeat-order tool can be enough. Recurring Orders is for shops that price wholesale with your BSS B2B pricing rules, or sell to buyers without a company account.
No. Each cycle creates a draft order, an order with payment terms or an invoice. Buyers pay through payment terms or the Shopify invoice, as they do today. Recurring Orders does not charge a saved card, and it does not manage renewals from a subscription app.
Recurring Orders is $99/month, or $1,069.20/year on yearly billing, as of November 9, 2026. It is added to your plan price. There is a 14-day free trial. You need the Essential, Advanced or Platinum plan. Pricing plans shows the current price before you confirm.
No. The Reorder page lets a logged-in buyer repeat a past order whenever they decide to. Recurring Orders creates orders on dates you set, starting from your admin. A store can use both, because they start in different places and serve different buyers. Reorder suits buyers who choose their own timing, and Recurring Orders suits orders you already expect.
Your schedules are paused and kept, with their history. No draft orders or orders are created while the add-on is off. After you add it again, open each schedule and click Resume. Dates missed while a schedule was paused are skipped, so you do not get extra orders.
Feature behavior follows the Recurring Orders screens and billing catalog in BSS B2B Solution, read on November 9, 2026. The Shopify statements come from the two Help Center pages listed below, read the same day. The price matches the app's billing catalog on that date; Pricing plans in the app shows the current price. We make BSS B2B Solution, BSS B2B Lock and BSS B2B Quote.
