WHOLE SALE page

[CinnamonTeal]

Can someone please guide me/steps as to where do I go to create a password protected WHOLESALE page. I created a page but there is nothing referencing to add a password to it.  Any help is appreciated. I found that I had to go into templates but all I have in there is the picture.  Am I missing something here.

Hi

Here are 2 options for wholesale:

• Use the wholesale channel but only available on Shopify Plus: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-sales-channels/wholesale
• Use an app from the app store as Shopify doesn't have native support for it so your theme needs to be edited: https://apps.shopify.com/search?q=wholesale

Thank you for your help.  At this point I will not be upgrading to Shopify Plus until I start generating sales.  Im not prepared to change my whole shop theme to accommodate a wholesale page for stores to place an order.  So I guess I will have to forgo for now and use Faire.  I do have another issue if you can help out.

I need to upload one of our sets which includes a top and bottoms.  Shopify only allows 100 variants for a single item though we have for this instance 180 for this one product which includes colour, top size and bottom size for each of the 5 colour ways.  Any suggestions on how to over come this so we can add this item to our shop.  May be add a text box for the customer to add in their colour preference then they can select the correct top and bottom size.  not sure if this can be done or not.

Hi Cinnamon Teal,

An easier solution is to install an app that can help you create a Password Protected Page for Wholesalers. You may use the [Wholesale Lock Manager] app, or look one up of your choice on Shopify App Store. You may use it to restrict access to products, collections, specific pages/URLs and give access to the restricted content using Passcodes, Customer-tags, or Login-credentials to the customers of your choice.

I’m leaving a link to our FAQ page here too that may help get a better understanding of this solution. The reason why I’m recommending an app over a custom code is simply because of the ease of use, our app alongside most of them on the Shopify App Store are plug and play, so that means you don’t need to spend time to create a custom code Lock. Also, if you update a theme, custom code is not going to be applied there, unless you duplicate the original theme that had the code in it. Even in such a case, there’s a chance of error.

This is a standard business practice, to hide or restrict the pages meant for Wholesalers to Retailers, and the easiest way to achieve this is through an app.

Hope this helps 🙂
