Overall Satisfaction with Handshake B2B Commerce, from Shopify
We set up over 100 products on our Online Store and process Credit Card payments for physical products and hidden membership/sponsorship products to email URLS to customers. We are setting up products for all our budget items to allow variable credit card payment processing.
- Selling Educational Materials to Schools
- Receiving Vendor Sponsorships for Educational Events
- Processing Payments for Educational Training Offerings
- Allowing Schools to pay for services by Credit Card instead of by Purchase Orders
- Refund processing would be very useful
- More User Accounts allowed at a nominal cost
- More choices of types of Credit Cards Allowed to choose, not just MC or V
- Need easy ability to use Purchase Orders for payment processing
- Easy to use for our Customers to make orders and payments
- Easy to train on and administer the system and set up reps to farm out payment processing
- Very thorough record keeping system and notification by email to all parties involved with a product and order
- Easy to support and resolve questions and issues.
- I found our reps are finding the system easy to learn and use
- I have heard our reps are saving a lot of time using this system versus the prior paper based system
- Our technical developer team can make changes easily
- It was easy to test changes in a test system before moving to production
This was our first one and it was recommended to my boss by Region 13 ESC. We love how it is working extremely well with our e-commerce needs. As a result, we are expanding our uses for Shopify and integrating it with our financial commerce in all our Service Areas.

16 - I have been training several new reps to use Shopify for their Credit Card payments for services/products ordered. The rest of the IDs are system support contacts for various support functions. We use the system for CC revenue.
4 - My boss, one of our Developers, and I provide the technical support. We also have a web tech who also supports new webpage category maintenance for grouping products displayed from our ONLINE STORE.

Evaluating Handshake B2B Commerce, from Shopify and Competitors
Yes - Shopify replaced manual paper invoices to a totally electronic process with easy access to all the Orders and Draft Orders used. We are able to centralize and standardize the process instead of it being performed slower in various other ways. Revenue is now secure and more realtime in collecting the funds to provide the ordered service/item faster.
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Prior Experience with the Product
My boee picked SHopify after checking other choices. Region 13 ESC currently is using Shopify and their successful experience convinced my boss to use SHopify.
My boss would do the same thing as he has done. Shopify is growing here as a successful product to use that saved us money and a lot of time.
Handshake B2B Commerce, from Shopify Implementation
- Implemented in-house
Yes - We used it for our Online Store physical products. Then we added Contract membership products to advertise them. Currently, we implemented HIDDEN Products in all our Service Areas to email for Credit Card payments for services. So, we have had 3 phases so far, each expanding our use of the system.
Change management was minimal - There was just a team of 3 working this system and we handled the implementation, testing, and training of the users we setup.
- We were able to shift off of a paper-based system to electronic paperless.
- The system is easy to adapt to the different uses we needed to implement.
