Why bother comparing?

OrderDock: $20–$99/mo. Zero commissions. flat — zero commissions, native B2B workflows
How is OrderDock different from Shopify Plus or Faire for wholesale ordering?
Shopify Plus is retail-first at $2,300+/month with B2B features bolted on through apps. Faire charges 15–19% commission per order, which compounds against margins on every transaction. OrderDock is built specifically for B2B ordering — net terms, buyer-specific pricing, matrix ordering — at $20/month flat with zero commissions.
What should a manufacturer or distributor look for when comparing wholesale ordering platforms?
Look for native B2B features: net terms management, purchase order support, buyer-specific price lists, and matrix ordering. Platforms that add B2B through apps or workarounds create maintenance overhead and data gaps. Also check whether the platform charges per-transaction fees or takes a percentage of order volume.
Can we migrate existing buyer accounts and order history from our current platform?
Most wholesale platforms support importing buyer accounts, price lists, and order history via CSV. Before committing to a switch, confirm the new platform can import your buyer hierarchy, custom pricing rules, and outstanding net terms balances accurately. OrderDock supports standard CSV import for the major wholesale platforms.
Is there a free trial before we commit to a subscription?
Yes. OrderDock offers a free trial so you can onboard a sample buyer account and run a test order through the full workflow before subscribing. No setup fees when you do subscribe.
