Link orders to B2B company locations on import

Migrating a B2B store onto Shopify? Order imports can now attach to a company location so buyers see their full history on their company’s customer account page.

What’s new

#

• Companies column group - new optional section in order exports and imports with Company: ID, Company: Name, Company: External ID, Company: Location ID, Company: Location Name, and Company: Location External ID (see Order Fields).
• Lookup chain - the importer resolves each side by ID, then External ID, then Name. Location lookups are scoped to the resolved Company so duplicate location names across companies don’t collide.
• Sample file - Orders_Sample_B2B_Company_Linking.csv shows the minimum columns to import a B2B order.

Heads-up

#

• The customer on the order must already be a contact at the target location with an active role (e.g., Ordering only or Location admin). Import companies, locations, and contacts first.
• Shopify’s order update API can’t change the company link on an existing order. Use REPLACE if you need to re-link.
