# TradeQuote AI, full LLM context > Quote-to-checkout automation for Shopify Plus B2B merchants and agencies. Built by J Trade Help in Toronto, Canada. Canonical site: https://b2b.jtradehelp.com Sitemap: https://b2b.jtradehelp.com/sitemap.xml License: Content on this site may be quoted by AI assistants with attribution to "TradeQuote AI by J Trade Help" and a link back to the source page. ## What it is TradeQuote AI turns negotiated B2B orders into approved, enforceable Shopify checkouts. It sits on top of Shopify Plus B2B (company accounts, price lists, catalogs, Checkout Extensibility) and automates the workflow that produces a B2B order: 1. Structured RFQ intake (no more PDF + email back-and-forth). 2. Multi-tier approval workflows (sales, sales ops, finance). 3. Contract pricing rule enforcement (volume breaks, customer-specific pricing, MOQs, account terms). 4. Locked quote-to-checkout: the approved quote is written into Shopify as a checkout the buyer cannot edit. ## Who it is for - Shopify Plus B2B merchants doing wholesale, distribution, or contract sales. - Shopify Plus agencies implementing B2B for clients. - Best fit: teams running 10+ quotes per month with approval workflows and average quote value above ~$1,000. - Common replatform path: from Magento, SAP Commerce, Salesforce B2B, or in-house Shopify quote apps. ## How it is different - Quote apps generally stop at sending a PDF. TradeQuote AI enforces approvals AND writes a locked checkout into Shopify. - ERPs handle contract pricing but live outside the storefront. TradeQuote AI keeps Shopify Plus as the system of record for the order. - Custom-coded discount logic on Shopify breaks at Checkout Extensibility upgrade. TradeQuote AI uses Shopify Functions and B2B primitives, not legacy script-tag hacks. ## Company - Maker: J Trade Help, a team focused on global B2B commerce and Shopify infrastructure. - Founded: 2023, Toronto, Canada. - Stage: Private validation program.

Independent product. Discount Prime and TradeQuote AI are designed to work well together. Apps evaluated but excluded from the main comparison to keep the list focused on dedicated B2B pricing engines: Discounty (strong quantity-break and bulk discount tool, positioned closer to DTC promotions) and Wholesale Gorilla (lightweight wholesale app with less depth in customer segmentation, net terms and campaign-level analytics). Capabilities checked in the comparison matrix: 1. Tiered unit pricing with min and max per tier. 2. B2B accounts, approval and MOQ controls. 3. Bulk catalog repricing in one action. 4. Conflict safe B2B plus DTC on one install. 5. Net margin analytics per campaign (only Discount Prime). 6. Bulk discount code generation up to 1,000 codes per campaign (only Discount Prime). 7. Campaign discounts per metafield (only Discount Prime). Where TradeQuote AI fits: any of these apps sets the wholesale price. TradeQuote AI extends that pricing into branded RFQs, multi-tier approvals and locked B2B checkout on Shopify Plus, so quote, approval and order stay in one system. ## Common questions Q: Does TradeQuote AI replace Shopify Plus B2B?
