Topic summary

A user on the Grow Plan is evaluating wholesale/B2B apps and asks for recommendations between Wholster and B2B Wholesale Hub.

Wholster strengths:

  • Fast setup (under one hour)
  • Integrates directly into existing theme with minimal learning curve
  • Ideal for straightforward volume discount rules (e.g., “Buy 10+, save 15%”)

B2B Wholesale Hub strengths:

  • More robust features: PDF invoices, PO numbers, order approval workflows, net-term reminders
  • Dedicated wholesale portal separate from the DTC storefront
  • Better suited for complex B2B needs like credit limits and detailed order management

Recommended approach:

  • List essential requirements (net-terms, PO integration, custom invoices, volume discounts)
  • Test both apps via free trials in a development theme with sample wholesale customers
  • Evaluate support responsiveness by submitting scenario-based questions to both teams

The discussion remains open with no final decision made.

Hello @AsherW

Both Wholster and B2B Wholesale Hub cover the basics (custom pricing, net-terms, hidden storefronts), but they lean in slightly different directions:

Wholste****r

  • Quick setup: You can have tiered pricing and customer groups live in under an hour.
  • Lightweight UI: Works right inside your existing theme, so there’s almost no learning curve for your team.
  • Good for volume discounts: If you mainly need simple “Buy 10+, save 15%” style rules, it nails that.

B2B Wholesale Hub

  • Deeper customization: Offers things like PDF invoices, PO numbers, order approval workflows, and net-term reminders.
  • Standalone portal: Gives your wholesalers a dedicated dashboard (orders, invoices, tracking) separate from your DTC site.
  • Best for full B2B stacks: If you’re managing credit limits, purchase orders, or need detailed order management, Hub has the edge.

How to pick between the two

  • List your must-haves (e.g. “net-terms,” “PO integration,” “custom invoices,” “quick volume discounts”).
  • Spin up both free trials in a development theme—import a handful of wholesale customers and run through your typical workflows.
  • Compare support quality: raise a ticket with a few scenario questions and see who answers faster and more thoroughly.
