Chicago's B2B backbone, on Shopify Plus.
Chicago Shopify work is B2B-heavy. Industrial and manufacturing brands move wholesale and dealer ordering onto Shopify Plus B2B with company accounts, NET-30 terms, tiered pricing, dealer portals, and deep ERP and EDI integration.
The Midwest also has strong consumer DTC work: food, spirits, and heritage brands. But the core Chicago engagement is the B2B replatform.
Digital Heroes builds both, remote-first on Central Time, flying in for kickoff and launch by arrangement. For broader Chicago context, see our Chicago agency page.
- Chicago Shopify is B2B-heavy: industrial and manufacturing brands on Shopify Plus B2B with company accounts and NET-30.
- Dealer portals, tiered catalog pricing, and ERP/EDI integration (NetSuite, SAP, mid-market Sage) are standard.
- Strong Midwest consumer DTC work too: food, spirits, heritage brands built on the same Plus foundation.
- Four shapes: Plus B2B build (14-20 weeks), ERP/EDI integration, Midwest DTC build (12-16 weeks), post-launch retainer.
- Remote-first, no Chicago office. Central Time coverage. We fly in for kickoff and launch by arrangement.
Central Time. An 8-hour overlap with our New York book.
Chicago runs one hour behind our New York book. We maintain no Chicago office; our staffed HQs are in New York and Delhi.
Our coverage tracks your working day: Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM CT, with same-day Slack response and weekly demos. The clock below shows the daily overlap between your hours and ours.
Four shapes, Chicago-scoped.
Shopify Plus B2B build. 14-20 weeks for Chicago industrial and manufacturing brands moving wholesale online. Add company accounts, NET-30 terms, tiered pricing, quote flows, and dealer portals. Pairs with our Shopify Plus agency for Chicago brands.
ERP / EDI integration. The integration layer Chicago B2B actually needs: NetSuite, SAP, or mid-market Sage sync for inventory, orders, and pricing, plus EDI flows for partners that still trade documents. This is where Chicago builds live or die.
Midwest DTC build. 12-16 weeks for Chicago food, spirits, and consumer brands. Subscription-capable. Gift-heavy Q4. All on the same Plus foundation with Klaviyo and Recharge. See our food and beverage build for Chicago brands.
Replatform + retainer. Replatform to Shopify Plus from Magento, BigCommerce, or a legacy B2B cart with 301-redirect preservation, then an ongoing retainer with quarterly in-person sessions in Chicago. See our Shopify migration for Chicago brands. Reach the team at +1 (917) 998 8141.
"Chicago's hard Shopify work is B2B: NET-30, dealer portals, and ERP integration that actually reconciles. We ship that, remote-first from NY and Delhi, on Central Time, on a plane for kickoff and launch."
Five answers on Chicago Shopify development.
Do you build Shopify Plus B2B with dealer portals for Chicago brands?
Yes. It is the most common Chicago engagement.
Shopify Plus B2B with company accounts, NET-30 terms, tiered pricing, quote flows, and dealer portals where wholesale buyers self-serve. The Chicago B2B industrial archetype on this page expanded its dealer portal by 280% on this foundation.
We scope the B2B logic and approval workflows first because they shape the build more than storefront design.
Can you integrate Shopify with our Chicago ERP and EDI?
Yes. This is where Chicago B2B builds live or die.
We integrate NetSuite, SAP, or mid-market Sage for inventory, order, and pricing sync, plus EDI flows for trading partners that still exchange documents.
We map the data model and reconciliation rules in discovery because a B2B store that disagrees with your ERP on price or stock is worse than no store.
Do you work in person with Chicago clients?
We are remote-first with no Chicago office. Our staffed HQs are in New York and Delhi.
We run Central Time for you with same-day response and fly in for kickoff and launch by arrangement, with travel built into scope.
The honest version: a remote Shopify B2B partner that knows Chicago industrial and Midwest DTC work. Not a local Loop shop.
Do you build Midwest consumer DTC, not just B2B?
Yes. Chicago and the Midwest have a strong consumer bench: food, spirits, and heritage brands.
We build them on the same Plus foundation with Klaviyo flows, Recharge subscription (where it fits), and gift-heavy Q4 merchandising.
Many Chicago brands are hybrid (wholesale plus DTC). A single Plus store serving both channels cleanly is a common ask.
How much does Shopify B2B development cost in Chicago?
Scope drives cost.
A Plus B2B build with dealer portals: 14-20 weeks. ERP/EDI integration: depends on your systems. Midwest DTC build: 12-16 weeks.
We scope it in a written Discovery Document and return a fixed-price quote within 48 hours. A NetSuite-integrated B2B portal is a very different number than a single-channel DTC launch.
