Get WholesaleReady
User Guide
Everything you need to set up, configure, and manage your B2B wholesale pricing โ from installation to your first approved customer.
What is Get WholesaleReady?
A complete B2B wholesale pricing solution for Shopify stores.
Get WholesaleReady is a Shopify embedded app that brings full wholesale (B2B) pricing to your store โ without needing a separate storefront, a Shopify Plus plan, or a complex setup. You define who gets wholesale pricing and the rules they must meet, and the app applies the right prices automatically at checkout.
Wholesale price groups
Create Gold, Silver, and Bronze tiers, each with its own discount, minimums, and volume tiers.
Wholesale applications
Customers apply through a storefront form. Approve or reject from your admin โ tagging is automatic.
Company profiles & teams
Group buyers under a company with roles like Owner and Designer, plus per-company approval workflows.
Net terms & store credit
Offer net payment terms, store credit, sales-rep assignment, and ERP integration for serious B2B operations.
Volume / tiered pricing
Reward bigger orders with "buy more, save more" tier tables shown on the product page.
Automatic checkout pricing
Qualifying carts get the right price at checkout โ no discount code for the customer to enter.
Installation & setup
Get from install to your first approved wholesale customer.
After installing from the Shopify App Store, a short onboarding walks you through the basics. Here's the recommended order.
- Install the app Approve the requested permissions. The app opens inside your Shopify admin.
- Enable the storefront blocks Turn on the app blocks in your theme so prices and tags appear. See Storefront blocks.
- Create your first price group Set a name, discount, and customer tag under Price Groups.
- Choose how customers join Add the registration form to a page, or tag existing customers directly.
- Test with a sample customer Approve a test application, log in as that customer, and confirm wholesale prices appear.
Plans & billing
Four plans, billed through Shopify on your regular invoice.
Manage your subscription under Billing. Each plan unlocks more of the app; enforcement is server-side, so feature access updates the moment you change plans.
| Plan | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Trying the app and basic wholesale setup. |
| Starter | $14 / mo | Small stores starting out with wholesale. |
| Growth | $49 / mo | Growing B2B catalogs needing more features. |
| Enterprise | $99 / mo | High-volume stores using the full feature set, including ERP and net terms. |
Dashboard
Your home screen inside the Shopify admin.
The dashboard is the first screen you see when opening the app. It gives you quick access to your price groups, pending applications, and settings, and serves as the jumping-off point to every feature in the left navigation. New stores see onboarding prompts here to guide first-time setup.
Price groups
The pricing tiers every wholesale customer belongs to.
A price group is a wholesale tier. Every approved customer belongs to one group, and that group decides their discount and the minimums they must meet. Manage them under Price Groups.
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Name | An internal label (e.g. "Gold", "Distributors"). Customers don't see it. |
| Discount % | Default percentage off retail for the group (e.g. 50 = 50% off). |
| Customer tag | The unique Shopify tag applied to members (e.g. wholesale_gold). |
| Min order amount | Minimum dollar value per line item to qualify. 0 = no minimum. |
| Min order quantity | Minimum units per line item to qualify. 0 = no minimum. |
| Pricing rules | Optional fixed prices and volume tiers (see next two sections). |
You can edit a group's discount inline, or open the create/edit modal for full control. Each group can hold its own product pricing rules and volume tiers.
Volume / tiered pricing
Buy-more-save-more pricing within a group.
Volume pricing lets a single product get a bigger discount as the quantity climbs โ classic wholesale "break" pricing. You define quantity tiers, and the app applies the best one the customer qualifies for.
How tiers work
- Each tier has a minimum quantity and a price or discount for reaching it.
- As the customer increases quantity, they automatically move up to the better tier.
- A tier table appears on the product badge so buyers can see the breaks (e.g. "5+ = 40% off, 10+ = 50% off").
- The wholesale ticker can advertise the best available tier as "Up to X% off".
Per-product pricing
Exact wholesale prices for specific products or variants.
When a flat group discount isn't enough, set a fixed wholesale price on a specific product or variant under Per-Product Pricing. A fixed price overrides the group's percentage discount.
| Scenario | What the customer pays |
|---|---|
| Group discount only (50%) | 50% off retail on qualifying lines |
| Group discount + product rule ($30 fixed) | $30 flat on that product (rule wins) |
| Variant-specific rule | Fixed price on that variant; other variants use the group discount |
Minimum order rules
Set per group, enforced per line item.
- Minimum quantity โ units of a single product required before that line earns the wholesale price.
- Minimum amount โ the retail dollar value of a single line that must be reached to qualify.
- An item must meet both minimums you've set to qualify. Set either to
0to disable it.
Wholesale applications
Review and approve customers requesting wholesale access.
When a customer submits the registration form, it appears under Applications as pending. You decide what happens next.
- Review the application See business name, email, and the requested group.
- Approve or reject Approving assigns the customer to a price group; rejecting leaves them as a normal customer.
- Automatic tagging On approval, the app adds the group's tag to the customer's Shopify profile and marks them as a wholesale member.
- Discount activates The next time that customer is logged in and shopping, their wholesale prices appear automatically.
Company profiles
Group multiple buyers under one business, with roles and approval control.
Real B2B buying is rarely one person. Company profiles let you represent a whole business โ with several people buying under it, each with a defined role and permissions. Manage companies under Company Profiles.
Roles & access
Each member of a company is assigned a role that controls what they can do. Roles include, for example:
The Owner has the most control (managing the team and approvals), while other roles can be limited โ for example, allowed to browse and build orders but not to check out until an order is approved.
Approval workflow
A company can have Require approval turned on. When enabled, orders placed by certain members are held as drafts until an authorized person at the company (or you) approves them. This mirrors how businesses run purchase approvals internally.
Team management
Owners add, remove, and re-role the people inside a company.
Within a company profile, the Owner manages the team โ controlling who can buy and what they're allowed to do.
- Add members Invite or add people to the company.
- Remove members Revoke access when someone leaves the business.
- Change roles Promote or restrict a member (e.g. from Member to Owner, or limit checkout rights).
Net payment terms
Let trusted businesses buy now and pay later.
Net payment terms let approved companies place orders on terms โ such as Net 30 โ rather than paying immediately at checkout. This is standard practice in wholesale, where established buyers are invoiced and pay within an agreed window. Assign terms to the companies you trust, and they can order without upfront payment.
Store credit
Maintain a credit balance for wholesale accounts.
Store credit lets you hold a balance on a wholesale account that can be applied toward orders โ useful for refunds, returns, promotional credit, or pre-paid arrangements. The credit is tracked against the customer or company and applied during their purchases.
Sales reps & flow automation
Assign accounts to reps and automate routine actions.
Sales rep assignment
Assign wholesale accounts to specific sales representatives so each rep owns their book of business. This helps larger operations route relationships, follow-ups, and account management to the right person.
Flow automation
Flow automation connects WholesaleReady events (like a new application or an approval) to automated actions, so routine steps happen without manual effort โ for example, triggering notifications or downstream workflows when something changes.
ERP integration
Connect wholesale data to your back-office systems.
ERP integration lets wholesale order and account data flow to the systems that run your business โ inventory, accounting, or fulfillment platforms. This keeps your wholesale operation in sync with the tools your team already uses, instead of managing it in isolation.
Settings page
Where loyalty, the ticker, and storefront behavior are configured.
The Settings page is the control center for storefront-facing behavior that isn't tied to a single group. From here you manage:
| Setting area | What you control |
|---|---|
| Loyalty discount | A cart-wide reward for non-wholesale shoppers (see next section). |
| Wholesale ticker | The discount badges shown on product cards across the store. |
| Display behavior | How and where wholesale prices and hints appear to customers. |
Changes you save here take effect on the storefront on the customer's next page load.
Loyalty discount
A cart-wide reward for your regular (non-wholesale) customers.
The loyalty discount rewards non-wholesale shoppers with a cart-wide discount when they spend above a threshold. Configure it under Settings.
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Enabled | Turns the loyalty discount on or off. |
| Minimum spend | The cart total a customer must reach to earn it. |
| Discount | The reward amount. |
| Type | flat for a fixed dollar amount, or percent for a percentage off the cart. |
Wholesale ticker
Discount badges on product cards across your store.
The ticker places a visual badge on product cards โ collections, search, the home page โ so wholesale customers can see at a glance that special pricing applies. Configure it under Settings.
| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| Enabled | Show or hide the ticker. |
| Style | badge (pill, corner), banner (bottom strip), price-tag (side tag), ribbon (rotated corner). |
| Label | The text shown, e.g. "Wholesale Price". |
| Color | The accent color of the badge (default green #1a6b45). |
Save to list / drafts
A floating panel for buyers to build and reuse orders.
Wholesale buyers often reorder the same items. The Save to List / Drafts feature gives them a floating panel on the storefront to manage saved orders without checking out immediately.
From the panel, a buyer can:
- Save products to a list for later.
- Rename or delete saved lists.
- Mark as ordered once a list has been purchased.
- Add to cart straight from a saved list to reorder quickly.
Product scope
Control where wholesale widgets appear on the storefront.
Product scope controls which parts of your storefront the wholesale widgets touch, so pricing and badges appear exactly where you want โ and nowhere you don't.
If you ever notice a wholesale badge or "Save to List" button showing up somewhere unexpected on a page, product scope is the setting that governs that placement.
Storefront blocks
The theme blocks that power the customer-facing experience.
WholesaleReady adds its storefront features through theme blocks you enable in the Shopify theme customizer (Online Store โ Themes โ Customize). Each has a specific home.
| Block | Where to add it | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Wholesale Auto Tag | Sections โ App embeds | Required. Tags wholesale customers on each visit and powers cart pricing. Turn on first. |
| Wholesale Badge | Product page template | Shows the wholesale price, volume tier table, and qualifying hints on the product page. |
| Wholesale Ticker | Sections โ App embeds | Adds discount indicators on every product card. |
| Registration Form | Any page template | The application form customers use to request wholesale access. |
| Quick Order | Any page template | A bulk-ordering widget for wholesale buyers, with SKU search. |
| Company Drafts | Any page / app embed | The Save to List / Drafts floating panel. |
Checkout flow
How discounts apply automatically โ no code for customers.
You don't need to do anything for discounts to apply at checkout. Here's what happens behind the scenes.
- Customer shops Wholesale prices show on product pages and in the cart as they browse.
- Each line is checked Every item is evaluated on its own quantity and total against the group's minimums (and volume tiers).
- Cart is prepared for checkout When the customer checks out, the app confirms their wholesale status and current pricing rules.
- Discounts apply automatically Shopify applies the correct wholesale prices at the payment step โ no discount code needed.
FAQ & troubleshooting
Quick answers to the issues merchants hit most.
Wholesale prices aren't showing on my store
Almost always the Wholesale Auto Tag app embed is off. Open the theme customizer, scroll to App embeds, and enable it. Also confirm the customer is approved, logged in, and that their group has a discount above 0%.
A customer was approved but still sees retail prices
Approved customers are recognized on their next visit. Ask them to log out and back in, or refresh the page. Also check the cart actually meets the group's minimum quantity and amount โ items below the minimum correctly stay at retail.
Only some items in the cart got the wholesale price
Expected. Minimums are checked per line item, not per cart. An item only earns the wholesale price when its own quantity and line total meet the thresholds.
What's the difference between a price group and a company?
A price group defines pricing (discount, minimums, tiers). A company is a business with multiple buyers, roles, and an approval workflow. A company's buyers are still priced according to a group.
Do customers need to enter a discount code?
No. Wholesale pricing is applied automatically at checkout based on the customer's group and cart. There's no code to share or enter.
Can I set an exact price for one product instead of a percentage?
Yes โ use a per-product pricing rule. A fixed price overrides the group's percentage for that product or variant. The line still has to meet the group's minimums.
A wholesale badge is showing in "You may also like"
That's a product scope issue. Product scope controls which storefront areas the widgets touch โ adjust it so badges stay on the intended product areas and out of recommendation carousels.
Will regular customers be affected by wholesale pricing?
No. Wholesale pricing applies only to approved, tagged customers. Everyone else sees normal retail prices. The optional loyalty discount is the only feature aimed at non-wholesale shoppers.
