I currently use an app for wholesale. I cannot offer wholesale customers a discount code as an incentive to buy. I would ideally love to NOT use an app. What are my options? Can anyone share solutions?
Topic summary
A user currently relies on an app for wholesale functionality but wants to eliminate it, particularly to enable offering discount codes to wholesale customers as purchase incentives.
Available alternatives:
-
Shopify Plus upgrade: Provides native B2B features that handle wholesale pricing and customer segmentation without third-party apps.
-
Custom coding solution: Requires technical development work including:
- Modifying product page and grid code to display different pricing based on customer tags/metafields
- Adding JavaScript to automatically apply discount codes restricted to specific customer segments
The custom coding route offers flexibility but demands development expertise, while Shopify Plus provides an out-of-the-box solution at a higher subscription cost.
If you don’t want to use an app, then your options are:
- Upgrade to Shopify Plus and use its built-in B2B features
- Or, custom coding. Update the code of your product pages and product grids to display different pricing for customers with specific tags/metafields. Add JS to automatically apply a discount code which is restricted to a specific customer segment.
