Shopify has released the long-awaited Winter ’25 Edition Update. This update focuses on improving the experience for B2B businesses with a major update to order drafts.

Draft orders are used by B2B businesses to create custom orders with personalized pricing and payment terms for their customers. The process can be time-consuming and cumbersome, but with the Winter ’25 Edition Update, Shopify has streamlined and improved the draft order feature.

One of the biggest changes in this update is the ability to create and edit order drafts directly from your Shopify admin. Previously, order drafts could only be created and managed through a separate application, making it difficult for B2B businesses to manage all of their orders in one place.

Streamline Draft Ordering Process

With this new feature, businesses can now easily create, manage, and edit order drafts without ever leaving your Shopify admin. This streamlines the process and saves B2B businesses valuable time.

New Payment Terms

Additionally, the Winter ’25 Edition Update introduces new payment terms options for order drafts. B2B businesses can now set net terms for their customers, allowing them to pay at a later date instead of upfront. This provides more flexibility in payment options and can improve cash flow for businesses.

Create Bulk Order Projects

Another major improvement is the ability to create bulk order projects. This means that B2B businesses can now create multiple order projects at once, making it easier to manage larger orders.

Add to Existing Order Drafts

Additionally, the update allows businesses to add items to an existing order draft, so they don’t have to start over every time a customer makes changes to their order.

Improved Design

With this update, Shopify has also improved the overall design and layout of the order draft feature, making it easier to use and accessible. This update is a game changer for B2B businesses, as it simplifies and streamlines the entire order draft process.

Overall, Shopify’s Winter ’25 Edition Update is a major step toward improving the B2B experience on the platform. This update makes it easier and more efficient for B2B businesses to meet customer needs, from creating and managing order projects directly in the admin to new payment term options and bulk order capabilities.

This update is sure to be a game-changer for B2B businesses using Shopify.
