Backstop

Backstop enforces your credit limits at checkout.

Shopify B2B lets companies buy on net terms. Backstop tracks what each company owes and, when an order would go past the limit you set, quietly hides the terms option, while card payment always remains.

Net terms shipped. Credit control didn't.

Shopify B2B gives every merchant company accounts, net payment terms, and self-serve reordering. But nothing native answers the question that used to be a person's job: should this company be allowed to put more on account? A buyer with a large unpaid balance can reorder at 11pm and Shopify will take the order. Backstop is the missing backstop.

How it works

  1. Set a limit

    Give each company a credit limit: a number you choose, in your currency. Backstop never suggests or scores anything.
  2. We track exposure

    Orders, payments, and refunds update each company's outstanding balance in seconds, with a line-by-line breakdown of how the number was computed.
  3. Checkout enforces it

    If a new terms order would go past the limit, or the company is past due beyond your grace window, the net-terms option is hidden. Card checkout stays.

Nothing changes until you say so

Backstop installs in monitor mode: checkout stays exactly as it was while the dashboard shows what enforcement would have done. Turn enforcement on globally, then per company, when the numbers have earned your trust, and turn it all off instantly with the kill switch.

Questions merchants ask

Does Backstop decide credit limits?

No. You set the limit; Backstop enforces it. We never score, rate, or recommend how much credit a company should get.

What does the buyer see?

When a company is over its limit, the net-terms payment option simply isn't offered at checkout. Card payment and any other methods you accept remain. Buyers are never blocked from purchasing.

What happens if something goes wrong?

Backstop fails open. Any error, missing data, or unrecognized checkout leaves the terms option visible. A glitch never stops a good customer's order.

What data does Backstop store?

Company-level business data only: company names, limits, order amounts as integer cents, due dates. No customer names, emails, phones, or addresses; see the privacy policy.

Does it work with my payment setup?

Backstop only gates whether the net-terms option appears. It never touches card processing or any payment data; Shopify handles all of that.
