At the moment I have web page that sells product for hair care and everybody can buy without regristration. Now I need make another area for profesional hair salons. These clients (hair salons) will need to register and they will have same products with different prices and products that only they can buy (products that are made just for hair salons). So basicly same page design just different prices and more product just for these registrated hair salons.
So i would like to know whats is best way to solve this in shopify? (i am new to shopify)
Thanks for reaching out in our Community forums and for sharing your concern, I’d be happy to help.
It sounds like you are looking for a solution that allows you to sell products to your retail customers, as well as selling directly to businesses as wholesale. The easiest solution would be to offer unique discount codes to your wholesale customers as this will work best if you have a simple pricing strategy that offers the same percentage off all your retail products.
Another solution would be to Send invoices with a Wholesale App directly to your clients as this will allow you to create unique prices for each of your orders. The only downside to this, is that you would have to manually create the orders for your clients which can be time consuming depending on the volume.
The most complete solution would be to Open another store that is an extension of your online retail store. You would be able to make it password protected, and could offer custom pricing to your clients.
Feel free to let me know if you have more questions!
Thank you for providing that additional information.
The solution to create a second store is very common in this case. It’s typically paired with an application like Syncio or SyncLogic that offers the functionality to sync your two stores products together so that any updates will reflect both stores. If you are not tracking inventory with Shopify, you would need to make backups and duplicates of your shop information and export it to your new store.
If you are looking for a solution that will allow you to make certain products available to qualifying customers, then there are a few apps that offer this functionality. If this is something you want to implement while keeping everything on one site, an application like LockSmith or Wholesale Lock Manager will allow you to lock certain pages and sections of your site, giving you the power to choose who has access.
Let me know what you think of the above options, and I’ll be happy to discuss further ideas with you if anything else comes to mind regarding selling wholesale!
