Trade between businesses does not work like a retail purchase: there is a quantity, a unit, a minimum order, a lead time, and a price someone has to agree. A Supplier / Wholesaler business starts with a catalog built for trade facts, on every plan. On Pro, once an admin switches B2B selling on, buyers can also request quotes and place orders you confirm.
The buying side is covered too. A private supplier directory holds the suppliers you buy from, and a supplier request asks them for an offer, one at a time, until one answers.
For business buyers
| Capability | What it does |
|---|---|
| Browse by name or item code | Buyers search your catalog and see units, pack quantities, minimum orders, lead times and delivery areas. |
| Check a quantity | Whether a quantity, unit, date and delivery area fit your recorded rules, before asking. |
| Request a quote | Each request gets a reference and reaches your admins in the owner chat. |
| Accept and order | The buyer accepts one exact quote, then asks to order it. You confirm or decline. |
| Their own terms | A recorded buyer sees the prices and conditions you agreed with them, never anyone else's. |
For you
| Capability | What it does |
|---|---|
| Trade catalog | Item codes, units, price tiers by quantity, tax treatment, availability and delivery days, sent by chat and confirmed before going live. |
| Quotes from the catalog | When every line has the facts it needs, the quote is calculated for you with the right tier and tax. Otherwise your staff type the prices. |
| Private supplier directory | What you buy and from whom, with priority, lead time and minimum order. Never shown to customers. |
| Supplier requests | Ask your suppliers for one thing, one at a time. A decline or no answer moves to the next; a quote stops the queue and you are told. |
| Suppliers on WhatsApp | Invite a supplier that is not on the platform with a one-time link. It receives your request on WhatsApp and answers with a button: it can supply, or it cannot. |
| Supplier costs | Record what each supplier charges you, also for a younger traveller or between two dates. Costs stay private, and a price in an offer you accept is saved as your cost. |
| Prices from cost plus markup | Link a catalog item you resell to what you buy it as and set a markup. The review shows the resulting price and CONFIRM writes it. Margins are listed for you, never for customers. |
| Linked businesses | Link a buyer or supplier that is also on the platform with a one-time code. Requests, quotes and orders then travel between the two as records. |
| B2B selling, one switch | Any category can sell to businesses on Pro, Supplier / Wholesaler included. An admin switches it on in the dashboard Settings or the owner chat, and the setting suggests buyers that suit the category. |
No payment is taken, stock is not reserved and delivery is not tracked. B2B selling, the supplier directory, supplier requests and supplier ordering are on Pro.
