Getting started with TermsPilot

TermsPilot tracks money owed to you on net payment terms by B2B companies — two features built into Shopify on all paid plans. If you already sell wholesale with payment terms, setup takes about a minute.

What you need first

  1. B2B companies in Shopify (Admin → Customers → Companies).
  2. Payment terms on those companies (e.g. Net 30), so orders are created with a due date.
  3. At least one order placed on those terms that isn't fully paid yet.

If you don't use Shopify B2B yet, start with Shopify's B2B guide — TermsPilot picks everything up automatically once terms exist.

Install → first scan → snapshot

When you first open TermsPilot it scans your store for companies and open net-terms orders. On a typical store this takes well under a minute. You'll land on a snapshot like:

You have $48,200.00 outstanding across 12 companies — $9,400.00 of it is overdue.

From there, two buttons set up the core value:

  • Set credit limits → takes you to the dashboard; open any company to set its limit.
  • Turn on reminders → shows you exactly what would send, to whom, before anything actually sends.

Reading the dashboard

  • KPI cards: total outstanding, total overdue, due within 7 days, and how many companies are over their credit limit.
  • Aging table: one row per company with a balance. Current means not yet due; 1–30 / 31–60 / 60+ are days past due.
  • Status badges: OK · Near limit (over 80% of limit) · Over limit · Overdue. Red means act today.

Click any row for the company's full picture: unpaid orders, days overdue, reminder history, notes, and statement downloads.

Keeping data fresh

TermsPilot updates automatically as orders are created, edited, and paid. A nightly self-check re-verifies everything against Shopify. You can also click Re-sync from Shopify on the dashboard any time.

No B2B data showing?

You'll see an honest empty screen with setup steps — never a blank page. On a development store you can test with one company and one draft order marked "payment due later."
