How we removed Shopify's 500-line cart limit

How we removed Shopify's 500-line cart limit

Beyond native Shopify

Enterprise B2B buyers often place orders containing hundreds of products. While Shopify provides an excellent commerce platform, many wholesalers and procurement teams encounter the platform's native 500-line cart limit. At Pipelabs, we extended Shopify with Pocketknife to support enterprise-scale purchasing, large wholesale orders and ERP-connected procurement workflows without compromising the customer experience.

The problem

Enterprise B2B buyers don't order five products.

They order hundreds.

For businesses like wholesalers, schools and procurement teams, a single order can easily exceed Shopify's native cart limits.

That creates friction where it matters most - checkout.

The solution

Rather than asking customers to split orders, we built a custom cart architecture that supports enterprise-scale purchasing while maintaining a seamless buying experience.

The result:

• Faster purchasing
• Fewer abandoned orders
• Better procurement workflows
• A checkout experience built for wholesale

Sometimes modern commerce isn't about adding features.

It's about removing limitations.


At Pipelabs, we focus on connecting systems properly and making sure they work together, no matter how complex.
