Wholesale Promotions
Offer exclusive pricing or discounts to wholesale buyers, B2B customers, or bulk purchasers using Customer Account promotions. Only logged-in customers with a wholesale tag will see the promotion.
How It Works
Tag your wholesale customers in Shopify, then create a Customer Account promotion that only activates for logged-in customers with that tag. Wholesale customers see exclusive pricing, bulk discounts, or free shipping as they browse.
Example:
Wholesale customers (tag:
Wholesale) → 30% off all productsOr: Buy 50+ units → 40% off + Free Shipping
Pricing updates automatically when they log in
When to Use Wholesale Promotions
B2B or trade customer discounts
Bulk buyer incentives (quantity-based pricing)
Distributor or reseller pricing
Volume discounts for corporate accounts
Exclusive net-30 terms or free shipping for wholesale accounts

Tips for Wholesale Promotions
Use Volume Discounts for Bulk Incentives
Set up tiered pricing based on quantity:
Buy 50+ → 30% off
Buy 100+ → 35% off
Buy 250+ → 40% off
See Buy More, Save More for setup details.
Enable Dynamic Pricing
Enable Dynamic Strikethrough Pricing so wholesale customers see their exclusive pricing as they browse. This reinforces the B2B relationship and increases order size.
Customize Storefront Blocks
Add banners that confirm wholesale pricing is active: "Wholesale Pricing Applied" or "Your B2B Discount is Active."
Separate Wholesale Promotions by Region
Create multiple Customer Account promotions, each restricted to specific markets:
US Wholesale (tag:
Wholesale-US) → 30% offCanada Wholesale (tag:
Wholesale-CA) → 25% off
Alternative: Use Private Links for Wholesale
If you'd rather send unique links to wholesale buyers instead of using customer tags, you can use Private (Abra Link) promotions.
How it works:
Create a Private promotion with wholesale pricing
Share the Abra Link directly with each wholesale buyer
They click the link to activate wholesale pricing for their session
When to use this:
You have a small number of wholesale buyers
You want to track performance per buyer
Wholesale buyers don't have Shopify accounts
