How can I customize the wholesale channel with CSS?

Hello Team Shopify,

Here is my feedback on this “resolved” matter for wholesale…

Great things that do NOT work on Wholesale:

  1. changing any layout or translation (trust me, the german version is horrible)

  2. creating easy things like a sub navigation, it just limits on level 1

  3. creating any collection page outside of the “product” navigation (with #2 a bummer)

  4. a simple shopify flow integration that allows you to immediately move orders into status fulfillment (you have to manually click and follow up every order… this is just rediculous tideaous stupid work. - you have a workflow engine… let us customers of shopify make use of it… it is just a damn status… not rocket science… i could even do it via API… but hey, isn’t shopify the platform that dealers can use when they don’t want/need or simply aren’t technial??

  5. can’t change filter or utlizte search to lookup textst in product descriptions

  6. adjust the page layout… when you have variants the images just line up one after the other… as all links back to the eCom online store front it is dependent on its sequence… on wholesale (dealing with B2B guys that don’t have time, or need to see all pictures) this is just a waste of screenspace. speaking of whichthis is how a “order screen” looks like on product level… and I have a huge screen… don’t tell me this is a UX… this is just not nice!

  7. Not being able to change the favicon.

  8. can’t manage prices online… you MUST upload an excel file, which (as we all just live csv files) fails in formatting everytime you open Excel and save…

  9. the homepage MUST be a Collection… ?!? what if you are a Brand.. and you may want to show some content first… i.e. welcome to the new Summer Collection… some nice graphics, and get them excited to buy… not just a “collection list”.

  10. The ground-hog day classic: variants vs. products… don’t even dare to search, display or have separate tags for a variant… just not possible, hence the “filters” are limited to super basics like product type and Sorting order. - that’s it.

If you ask for “requirements” for Wholesale… just give me the plain basics, that I can manage my business…

Thanks for reading, please vote “thumbs up” - to get the basics done!
