What is Transactful?

Transactful manages how much you trust each wholesale buyer, end to end:

1. Apply – buyers complete your wholesale application (VAT number, trade references, documents).
2. Approve – you review and approve with payment terms, a catalog, and a credit limit.
3. Enforce – checkout is blocked automatically when an order would take a buyer over their available credit.
4. Review – holds when overdue, re-review when documents expire.

What makes it different

• Nothing touches your theme. Transactful is built entirely on Shopify’s native B2B platform – admin extensions, customer account extensions, and checkout validation functions. No Liquid edits, no script injection, nothing to break when you change themes.
• Works on every Shopify plan. Credit enforcement runs on Basic and Grow, not just Plus.
• VAT done right. UK VAT numbers validated against HMRC, EU numbers against VIES, with correct exemption handling per company.

Start where you are

• Running wholesale already? Your stockists never re-apply – start with importing existing accounts.
• Opening your first wholesale program? The decisions are made for you in starting wholesale from scratch.
• A developer vetting this for a client? The architecture, scopes, and what you’d maintain (nothing): for developers.
• Just installed? Getting started takes you to a working credit check in 15 minutes.

The Transactful dashboard inside Shopify admin — the two-minute morning glance.

Your day with Transactful

Most days, Transactful needs about two minutes:

• Morning glance – the dashboard shows new applications, anything overdue, and any account flagged for re-review. Zeros across the board? Done.
• When an application arrives – open it, check the pre-validated VAT and references, approve with a limit. Under a minute.
• When a buyer hits their limit – nothing to do: checkout already said no, politely, with the number. You’ll see it in the activity feed; call them if the order matters.
• Month end – statements go out on their own (Ledger tier); the aging report is your chase list.

The system works while you don’t watch it – that’s the point of enforcement.
