Selling Wholesale on Shopify
(When You Also Do Retail!)
Michael, Noor, and the entire A&O team are here to help eCommerce companies adapt their Shopify store so you can also take orders from retailers and other wholesale accounts.
A&O is one of the fastest growing, most capable, full service Shopify Experts in the US and Canada. Our goal is to change the perspective that people have about eCommerce marketing companies and the people who work for them. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we do take what we do for our clients very seriously.
A&O offers wholesale implementation services that are tailor-made for Shopify merchants of all sizes. We’ve noticed the solution to selling wholesale on shopify is often more affordable than people think, since we’ve already picked the perfect suite of plugins to get the job done. Interested in Shopify Plus or B2B? We do that too! We know the industry, the challenges, the applications and the urgency to make your wholesale portal work right all the time.
Are you a Shopify merchant looking for the best way to sell wholesale and retail?
Setup Wholesale User Application Forms & Approval Processes
We’ll setup the form(s) needed for people to sign up and create a wholesale account so you can approve or reject their account. We can also connect to your email marketing software if you want to send your wholesale users special promotions.
Show Wholesale Users Set or Variable Pricing and Net Terms
Hide store content by creating a lock for products, collections or an entire store. Display products and collections based on selected customer tags and identify which wholesale accounts have to paid right away and which get net30.
Manage Orders, Re-orders,
and Grow Your Business
Make it easy for wholesale accounts to see their past orders and re-up on what they’ve sold through as well as discover new products they may want to try.
