Thank you so much for sharing the info. It's so incredibly generous of you. True CZcams spirit! Thank you!!!
Of course!! Happy to share, thanks so much for watching!
I use Wordpress. For my wholesale shop I create products and hide them from the shop. Then I have a separate page where I list those items and they can check out like any other order. It’s fine for now. I may look into something else as I grow my product list.
When you said $80 a month I winced, but when doing the math, if you are seeing $2,000 a month in wholesale, that's only 4% of your wholesale income for website charges. At that point, you're losing more to credit card fees then you would be to hosting the website. So I suppose it makes a lot of sense to do something like that.
I landed my first wholesale client last week, we're still hashing out details, so for me a wholesale website is not an option just yet, but I will be looking into it this year. This information was very valuable, thank you
Yes the numbers have to make sense, but so exciting that you booked your first wholesale account. Congrats!!!
Super helpful! Thank you!
Thank you for watching!!

Super useful thanks so much for sharing!
So glad you liked it!!
This is great! Thank you as always for creating these wonderful videos! I've been pondering creating a separate website for wholesale other than Faire. When you integrate your inventory with faire, do you integrate it with this wholesale website or the retail website too?
I use the wholesale website inventory to link with Faire, it’s not ideal to have 2 separate inventories, but it’s been pretty easy to manage this far!
I'm currently handling wholesale exactly like you used to, and have thought of creating a separate site as well. This was extremely helpful! Quick question on wholesale and shipping costs and delivery fees. I'm assuming the retailer is responsible for shipping fees when ordering? I noticed you added a $20 delivery fee. I don't currently charge, but the expectation is that I deliver. I feel like I've been short changing myself because it does take time, gas, etc. I probably should start adding a fee. Again, very helpful information. I appreciate it.
Typically the retailer pays shipping, and I consider delivery the same thing so you should definitely add some kind of “fee” for that!
Great video, thank you! ♥️ Just had two questions:
1: You mentioned a $20 local delivery fee, do you recommend charging a fee if you're doing a delivery to a local business?
And 2: Do you have your inventory connected to your retail website, so you can keep track across the board?
Thank you!! 🥰
1: I always charge for delivery, the retailer would pay shipping anyway and this still saves them money. 2: yes everything is connected so I can track my inventory!
@@caitlinblue Thank you!!
@caitlinblue do you keep wholesale inventory separate from retail inventory or is there a way to connect the two?
Do you require your wholesale customers to buy a minimum amount of orders to continue to be a wholesale client? For example ....I must do x amount of orders a year to maintain wholesale status.
I don’t have minimums like that, every year is different so I wouldn’t want to “loose” a customer by setting a total requirement.
@@caitlinblue thanks for your reply & much success to you!
Do you do any sort of credit checks did the net 30 customers
I only do payment terms after the first order. But I don’t run credit checks.
Is there a reason why you opted for a separate form builder rather than building the borm in klaviyo? Also, do you have a separate Klaviyo account for wholesale only?
Not really a reason, I don’t actually use Klaviyo for wholesale right now. I’m sure that will change as it gets bigger though!
