Accept Purchase Orders on BigCommerce

Install note: This is part of the Ebizio Checkout app. To get it, install the Ebizio Checkout App and then subscribe to this module.
Is this right for your store?
Built for B2B Sellers
This module is a fit if your store sells to:
- Wholesale buyers who expect to order on account, not by credit card
- Distributors or resellers with approved credit terms
- Institutional or government buyers who require a PO number to process payment
- Any B2B customer base you currently invoice manually or take PO orders for by phone or email
If any of those describe your buyers, this replaces the manual workaround with a checkout flow.
App Capabilities
What You Get with Purchase Order
Everything a B2B buyer needs to complete a purchase order checkout — captured natively and synced straight into your BigCommerce order records.
PO Number & Custom Fields
Collect a purchase order number and any custom fields you require at checkout. Configure which fields appear and whether they're mandatory, so every order arrives with the data your finance team needs.
Document Upload
Let buyers attach a signed PO, tax exemption certificate, or approval form (PDFs or images) directly to their order. Uploaded documents stay tied to the order record for easy reference and fulfillment.
Flexible Net Payment Terms
Offer Net 15, 30, 60, or custom terms to approved buyers. Orders are placed without an upfront card charge so your best customers can buy on account, just like they expect.
BigCommerce Order Integration
Every PO detail writes back to the native BigCommerce order record. Numbers, custom fields, and documents live alongside the order — no spreadsheets, no separate systems to reconcile.
PCI Compliant
Built on BigCommerce's Open Source Checkout SDK, so you enhance your existing checkout instead of swapping it for a risky third-party system.
Works With Your Theme
Compatible with all BigCommerce themes and works in combination with the Optimized One-Page Checkout.
WHY IT'S SAFER
No Custom Code. No Compliance Risk.
Many PO solutions require custom-coding your checkout, which can put PCI compliance at risk and break with every BigCommerce update. The Purchase Order module runs on BigCommerce's own Open Source Checkout SDK, extending your native, PCI-compliant checkout instead of replacing it.
You're In Control
Configure It Your Way, From the Ebizio Dashboard
Manage the Purchase Order module directly from the Ebizio app in your BigCommerce admin. Choose which payment providers to offer, adjust your fields, and see every account detail tied directly to the order it belongs to.
- Set your own fields — Add or edit custom fields like PO Number, Account Manager, or Date Receivable to match your process.
- Control what's required — Decide which fields are mandatory and which are optional, so you collect exactly what you need without adding friction for the rest.
- Everything tied to the order — Every submitted field appears directly on the order record, nothing to track down separately.
Real-World Scenarios
How BigCommerce Merchants Use Purchase Order
Purchase order checkout fits a wide range of B2B and hybrid operations.
General Electric Dowty: Purchase Order Checkout for B2B Buyers
Dowty needed a Purchase Order option built around how their buyers actually order. We built a custom PO checkout made specifically for their process, so approved buyers could order the way they always have, just online now.
SkyGeek.com: Purchase Order Checkout for Aviation Buyers
SkyGeek's B2B customers used to complete an order, then separately email their PO to be matched up later. We added Purchase Order right to checkout, so buyers enter their PO number up front and the order's ready to go immediately.
AFT Fasteners: Purchase Order Checkout for B2B Buyers
AFT Fasteners wanted to make it easier for B2B customers to check out their way. We added Purchase Order and Ship on Account together, so approved buyers can pay with a PO number and ship on their own account, all in one checkout.

Purchase Order FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What information can I collect at checkout?
Whatever your process requires: PO number, custom fields like Account Manager or Date Receivable, and document uploads.
Where do uploaded documents and PO details end up?
Everything writes back to the native BigCommerce order record in the order comments field. PO numbers, custom fields, and uploaded documents stay attached to the order — no separate systems or spreadsheets to reconcile.
Can I require a PO number and make custom fields mandatory?
Yes. You control which fields appear at checkout and whether each one is required, so orders never come through missing the information your finance and fulfillment teams depend on.
Can I limit purchase orders to approved buyers only?
Yes. Pair this module with Customer Group Payment Rules to show Purchase Order only to approved customer groups.
How do net payment terms work?
Within the app, you can setup Net 15, 30, 60, or custom terms as an option to your buyers. If you'd like support in setting this up we recommend our White Glove Onboarding service. Contact us to speak with our team.
Does the module handle invoicing or enforce payment terms?
The module captures the PO number, terms, and documents at checkout, then saves everything to the order record. Your team processes payment through your existing accounting system.
Can I combine it with other Ebizio Checkout modules?
Absolutely. It pairs well with Customer Group Payment Rules, Ship on Account, Customer Group Shipping Rules, and Document Uploads to build a complete B2B buying experience under one checkout.
Is the Ebizio Checkout App PCI compliant?
Yes. Ebizio extends your existing BigCommerce checkout — it doesn't replace it. Your checkout stays native to BigCommerce, which means it stays PCI compliant, compatible with your theme, and supported by BigCommerce's platform updates. Ebizio adds functionality on top of what's already there.
Will it work with my theme?
Yes. The module is built on Ebizio Checkout and works with all BigCommerce plans and every Stencil theme, including custom themes. It integrates with the native checkout, so there is nothing to rebuild.
How do I get the Purchase Order module?
Install Ebizio Checkout from the BigCommerce App Marketplace, then subscribe to Purchase Order for $99/month.
Do you customize the BigCommerce checkout beyond what this module offers?
Yes. If you need something beyond standard PO fields, approval workflows, more complex order logic, or a specific integration, our development team can build it. Contact us to discuss your needs.
Do you offer White Glove onboarding?
Yes. Our team can configure your Purchase Order setup directly, so your fields, terms, and approval logic are working correctly before you go live.
