Build, Built to Sell
B2B & Wholesale Stores
Selling to businesses is not selling to shoppers. Trade customers need their own prices, account details and a fast way to reorder. We build wholesale stores and portals that replace email orders and spreadsheets.
What we buildWhat it covers.
- 01
Trade pricing and tiers
Price lists by customer or customer group, volume breaks and minimum orders, applied automatically.
- 02
Company accounts
Logins for buyers within one business, with the approvals, addresses and payment terms that business needs.
- 03
Fast reordering
Quick order forms, saved lists and reorder from history, so repeat buyers are done in minutes.
- 04
Quotes and terms
Requests for quote, invoices and account terms, where your trade customers expect them.
- 05
Stock and ERP
Trade orders, stock and customer records tied to your back office, so nothing is re-keyed.
Why it mattersWhat it is worth.
Many South African brands take trade orders by email, phone and spreadsheet. It works until volume grows, then errors, delays and admin eat the margin.
A proper wholesale channel makes it easy for trade customers to order, and frees your team for the work that needs a person.
What you getWhat you take away.
- 01

QuestionsQuick answers
Do we need a separate site for wholesale?
Not always. A trade area inside your existing store works for many brands. We recommend a separate portal when the needs are very different.
Can trade customers pay on account?
We can set up account terms and invoicing where your platform and accounting system support it.
Can this connect to our ERP?
Yes. Complex Integrations covers connecting stock, orders and customers to your back office.
