Algolia Launches Shopify B2B Integration

Algolia, an e-commerce search intelligence platform provider, now supports Shopify B2B, enabling companies selling on Shopify to deliver search and product discovery that adapts to each customer, from the products and prices they see to how results are ranked.

When a business buyer signs in, Algolia search shows only the products their company is authorized to purchase, at the prices it has negotiated, with the quantity rules that govern each order. Merchants get this through the same Algolia integration that powers their consumer storefronts.

Merchants can manage thousands of SKUs, multiple company locations, and different pricing and catalog configurations without maintaining a separate B2B search stack.

When buyers sign into a merchant's B2B portal and selects their account locations, Algolia automatically adapts the products and commercial information presented in search, with the following:

• Account-specific catalog visibility: Search results include only products published to the buyer's assigned company catalog.
• Negotiated and account-specific pricing: Results display the price the buyer will pay at checkout, including fixed prices and percentage-based adjustments from standard pricing.
• Quantity and volume rules: Minimum and maximum quantities, purchasing increments, and available volume discounts appear during discovery.

"Complex B2B use cases have typically required lengthy custom builds. Working with Shopify, one of our top strategic enterprise partners, we can now bring the retrieval intelligence that thousands of Shopify customers rely on today to a much wider audience," said Piyush Patel, chief ecosystem officer of Algolia, in a statement.

"Business buyers want the convenience and speed they experience as consumers, while still receiving the pricing, products, and purchasing terms specific to their company. Algolia brings its speed, relevance, and scale to Shopify B2B, helping merchants deliver that experience across even their most complex catalogs," said Amanda Engelman, director of product for collective and B2B at Shopify, in a statement.
