IT WORKS!!!! For those of you that could not get step 6 to work you need add a new Navigation menu called 'main menu wholesale'. then the code you added in step 6 will read this menu instead of the original navigation menu you set up. watch the last part of the video and it makes sense.
this is also in the document "There's one final step in this process: In your Shopify Dashboard, go to Online Store > Navigation and add a new menu. The menu should be titled "Main Menu Wholesale." Inside this menu, add whatever links you want your wholesale customers to see."
Great workaround to avoid third party apps that charge money for the same system, not to mention Shopifys insane enterprise price to unlock wholesale channels. Thank you!
so I did some digging and found his blog post for this. www.envision.io/blogs/ecommerce-pulse/80312001-how-to-add-a-wholesale-area-to-your-shopify-store-without-an-app
Hey everyone, I am not getting the page/product/collection code that is supposed to be auto-filled when creating them. I have seen comments saying to make it .json instead of .liquid but I am getting different code to what is shown in the video. Is that meant to happen or the code should still be the same as the video just in a .json? Would really appreciate any help :)
It works perfectly. You have to follow the steps very carefully. I use Turbo Dubay theme. Yes indeed I had more work because the theme is very sectioned but I succeeded, yes I get stuck in the menu, I mean the button that must be hidden, I still can not figure out why my menu is duplicated, or not works,
thank you. but the wholesale price is coming up on my retail page. can you do a video of how to fix that. also can you do a video on a wholesale application
different shipping settings require different products. I use locksmith on one store (to show different collections to wholesale customers) and sparklayer on another. once customers are tagged correctly, it's easy to make sure they see the right pages and products. O use helium csutomer fields to approve wholesale accounts and automatically tag approved customers
Hi Leighton, I know this is a very old video but 'm trying to add the code to my Refresh theme. For step 6 I don't have that particular code, instead I have { "type": "link_list", "id": "menu", "default": "main-menu", "label": "t:sections.header.settings.menu.label" }, How can I add the code you'll like us to replace? i also have some other questions if you have an email address I can forward them. Thank you.
Thank you Leighton for the super clear instructions! I was able to follow step-by-step. Used the theme called 'Narrative'. The only hiccup was that I had to do all the steps on the live site, the alternate wholesale templates would not show up in the duplicate version of the site. But all in all, excellent tutorial!
Hi Leighton, you have done an awesome job but I think, Shopify has made some changes and there is no theme template option available now...can you help me?
Say you have different tiers of pricing for different types of wholesalers. Is it possible to have multiple versions of the "wholesale site" show up for different customers? For example, can you set it up so that you have "Wholesale-5", "Wholesale-10", and "Wholesale-15" tags for different customers?
Hi does this method still work in 2020? I'm having an issue at @9:09 when I test the URL by adding collection/wholesale it just appears and doesn't show the note. Any advice on this? (Also fyi I haven't selected a plan yet)
I'd like to show the whole sale customer both the dealer price and the retail, if where you type in the dealer (wholesale) price on your wholesale product list, to the right i saw a field, ""Compare at..." If I put the retail there, will both prices appear on the dealer page?
Hi Leighton, how do you hide the wholesale items from search results ? If we search the word wholesale then all the products come up. Thanks in advance
Does this work for Shopify's PRESTIGE template? I cannot choose a wholesale option in my Theme template on my products page, after duplicating a product and renaming it for wholesale. My options only say, Default, Coming-soon, and Pre-Order. Any help or suggestions? TY.
Good morning, did you remove the link for the tutorial? I am getting an error code 404 when i try to click the link to the tutorial to copy the codes. Love the tutorial a have watched it a couple of times, but have just tried to implement the steps and cannot find the code.
SOLVED. I am using Minimal theme. I found a snippet called {/} site-nav.liquid. I replaced the code {% for link in site-nav.links %} for the text that Leighton used, and it surprisingly worked.
Hi Leighton, Thank you for the instructions. However, when I clicked on your link to get the code I received a 404 page would you be able to activate the link or direct me to how I could obtain the code please. Also is there a process that can be done if I have hundreds of products rather than duplicating each product manually? Any help is appreciated.
Thank you Leighton. Good tutorial and easy to set up. Can you advise how have different checkouts for my retail and wholesale customers as I have a minimum order amount for the latter but not the former.
Hi Leighton, I'm having trouble the the cart for regular customers, they can see the wholesale products options. How can I make the wholesale products hidden in the cart section, as they are hidden everywhere else?
Great video but what about inventory tracking? Can you connect the products? Shop doesn't allow you to have duplicate skus or UPCs. Also, is there a way to have a menu at the top of the page like (t-shirts, shoes, hats) for retail and wholesale and the items fit under the same category? I basically want to duplicate my retail store for the wholesale customers only have different pricing.
I am noticing many of the comments below regarding the step 6 problem. I like the video and almost everything works accordingly, except this step. I also noticed that my site is not giving the prompt to the customer to register for a wholesale account either, but if I type the word wholesale at the end of my URL, anyone can have access to the wholesale products. I think that the curator of this video may want to address this for all of us since so many people are having the issue in order to add value to this video. Otherwise, the tutorial is almost rendered completely useless and that's a shame because the content is great if it works. Just my thought.
This usually happens when you're working in an unpublished theme. To get around this, simply create templates in your live theme with the same names (e.g., page.wholesale, product.wholesale, and collection.wholesale). Don't edit the code in the live theme, but create the templates with those names. You will then be able to select those templates for your pages, products, and collections.
hi there, i'm having a go at adding a wholesale area to my website but i can't see how to change the prices in the wholesale section. Is this possible Leighton? I've got a retail side to the website too thats why i ask. thanks Dominiqu
Does this work on the Debut theme? I have followed the steps and it will not let me select anything other than the default collection product etc to add the wholesale section....Is there something I am doing wrong or is this just not possible?
Hi All, I'm at Step 3: Add some templates. After adding the templates pages/collections/products they are empty. In the video I see full page of codes... Where do you get this from?
Thank you for providing this information. My theme is called Debut. I went slowly through the steps, but became stuck at step 5. When I created a test customer account and tried logging in after tagging the customer as "wholesale", I couldn't see the wholesale list of products in the "shop" menu. Since I hadn't done step 6 I was able to see the wholesale products when I did a product search. When I clicked on a wholesale product the message from step 2 popped saying I needed to request a wholesale account. My husband suggested that I cleared my cache. I did that and it worked. If you have the same issue, maybe go as far as creating a new test customer account after you clear your cache. I went on to do step 6 and everything is all set up.
Hi, thank you for sharing your experience and the tip. Clearing the cache or trying to log in from an alternative browser. I also have the Debut theme on my site and have managed to follow and implement everything but step 6. I have searched around the code, search.liquid, site-nav.liquid (which I think is the one since by trial and error, some changes to it did break the navigation bar), mobile-nav.liquid, header.liquid, and theme.liquid and all have yielded me no success. From the blog, I have loaded up all the comments and searched around, most dating a few years back, which of course the code has changed since then, so the suggestions that I ran across were somewhat moot. If you would be able to point me in the right direction, I would be extremely grateful to get this last hurdle done :)
I like the idea but I am not able to get this to work, I am using the Dawn theme. I don't get the navigation for wholesale to switch, I see in you video there is not wholesale in tab in the non wholesale navigation I have one. Any suggestion?
Thank you very much, this was the answer to all my prayers, "only run into one issue" I got it done as you described but it only works on the mobile application. The desktop catalog doesn't change when one logs in as a wholesaler. What have I done wrong? What am I missing?
Hi... Thank you so very much for this - it is exactly what I was looking to find... Definitely going to try this out and by following the Steps I know that this will work perfectly!!!
Hi i'm facing trouble when i duplicate the product and place them under the wholesale template, the product still shows up at the main page. please assist thanks!
i would like to know if is possible to fix the issue the wholesale show all product like the snippet called "wholesale-note is not working and i try a couple of time thanks
So i completed this and it works great. My only remaining challenge is finding a way to add a "quantity" bar to the product within wholesale, and, how to add a min qty order per product per size of print. Leighton any help here?
What a great video! Going though all the steps is super easy. The problem I have having is after going through all the steps the snippet doesn't show up for non wholesale customers and I can't figure out where they should go to sign up. I use Debut and I know sometimes it doesn't let me do certain things.
Hello. When I added the three new templates page, product, and collections (liquid) Shopify did not automatically add code. I deleted them and tried again using json. two lines of code appeared. But still when I go to select the wholesale template it is not there. The only one there is default. Can you help?
Hi Leighton, does it matter if the "Wholesale" tag for the customer starts with a capital letter? I already had a tag for Wholesale and I can't figure out how to change it to be all lowercase, but that tag isn't linking my account like I'd hoped.
Im working on minimal, on step 6 i keeo getting {% for link in linklists [section.settings.main_linklist.links%} and i cant finish the process, what should i replce?
SOLVED. I am using Minimal theme. I found a snippet called {/} site-nav.liquid. I replaced the code {% for link in site-nav.links %} for the text that Leighton used, and it surprisingly worked.
Hi, I own a website to sell motorcycle parts and I am interested in setting up a wholesale system. Is there a website developer that can work on it? Thank you very much
My HTML has the code {{ content_for_layout }} twice. Do I change both of them or just the first one? I also want to create this for members, so can I call it "Members" instead of "Wholesale"?
Thanks so much for the tutorial. I'm having some issues with creating the templates. it's not letting me name them individually. I have sections in my theme (Streamline) is that why? Should I make them as sections instead?
Hi Taylor! Awesome video. I've a question, Can I do the same but changing the word 'wholesale' for a variable name 'stylis' or 'X...word'?...Thank you!
Hi Leighton I am using Turbo theme, I have searched all and I don't find the content_for_layout, only content_for_header how do I implement what you are showing in the video ? thanks
great instructions! really made it easy to follow along. I find myself stuck in step 6 where we customize the way wholesale clients navigate the page once logged in. I am using Debut template so the wording is definitely different. I think i've discovered the right code but may need clarification :?
Hi Leighton, thanks for the info. It was very easy to do. The only thing that I am having a problem is that I have the debut theme and I don't have a sign in or create an account button. How do I do this? Thanks for your help, Katy
Is there a way to make sure that the inventory in the wholesale area is pulled from the inventory on the main page? I'm worried I will oversell if the same inventory is being sold in 2 different places and not being tracked consistently.
Hi tried that but the script for locking the rest of users from the wholesale page does not work on my site. Also i noticed that I had 2 content_for_layout scripts included. I only replaced the one that it was identical to your demo
Ok I need help! when i type in the /wholesale after the url it comes up with 404 page not found, rather than the message to contact for a wholesale account
Hi, I couldn't get rid off the wholesale collection link on my regular site. I did all of the above but I just couldn't get rid of that? what should I do?
Hi there! I am successful with everything except when I try to log in and the menus does not show up. I already made sure that the menu is tagged as wholesale as well as the collections. Can you please let me know what is the problem?
I am using the Venture theme and I am unable to keep the wholesale products from showing up in the search. This theme is using some sort of Menu system and I am having a tough time figuring our where the code needs to be added. Was hoping you could take a look at this help me out. - Rick
For those trying to replicate this in venture theme. the code {% for link in linklists[section.settings.main_linklist].links %} can be found in header.liquid
Hey L. Taylor... Quick question... What if my shopify theme dosn't have any "login" button? Is this something i need to add, or is it hidden somewhere behind the theme?
Hi, great tutorials btw. I have successfully added an annoucement bar on my site today. I am now doing the whole but but I have come stuck at 5.11minutes where I need to create a template. I have a choice of JSON or a liquid template -which should I select please?
@BASOCHE LH My template offers both options as well and I originally chose .liquid because its in the tutorial but nothing worked, so I went back, deleted the .liquid files and recreated them choosing .JSON and it worked perfectly. I think maybe themes that have the .JSON option are optimized for it and therefore need those endings
Hi Leighton great job! I need two types of client. 1) Regular customer -> Generate order with the payment method. 2) Wholesale customer -> Generate the order without method payment, but use net30 or send in cash the delivery for example. Is it possible to do this? thank you
Hi Leighton, I’m following your steps but get stuck at step 6 (changing the top nav for wholesale). I am working with Editions Theme that seems to have a slightly different code.
Need help. Cannot find where the mobile website information is located. Using Brooklyn theme. Everything seems to work. Few things I've noticed. When not. Logged in under shop you can see collections and the one called wholesale but if you click it not logged in you do get the deny message. Any help on where I can find mobile to. Input that information for homepage
Hi Leighton! I've been using your method of setting up wholesale accounts and it's been great, BUT I've just noticed a problem. If a wholesale customer is logged in and adds wholesale products to their cart, but then logs out, the wholesale products remain in their cart and they can then check out without reaching the minimum order amount I have set (which uses the wholesale customer tag). Any ideas how to get around this? I really need the cart to clear if wholesale customers log out of their accounts. Many thanks!
Hi Arati! I had my Shopify theme developer add some code to my cart page that only revealed the checkout button if the customer had placed a certain $ amount of goods in their cart.
I know you asked this a while ago, but I just fixed this for myself so maybe it can be of help in the future. I'm working in the Debut theme and under site-nav in snippets, I only had "{% for link in linklists[menu_handle].links %}", nothing about main menu. It worked for me to replace this with what he said. So look for anything that starts with "for link in linklists".
SOLVED. I am using Minimal theme. I found a snippet called {/} site-nav.liquid. I replaced the code {% for link in site-nav.links %} for the text that Leighton used, and it surprisingly worked.
Hi Leighton. I tried this, but didn't want WHOLESALE, I needed the words Director. So everywhere you had us include wholesale, I changed it to director. When I do that and try to see the /collections/director I get a 404 error, not the director's note that this page is only for logged in customers. I have no clue what else to do. I'm using the Debut theme and followed your directors exactly.
I got it done as you described but it only works on the mobile application. The desktop application catalog doesn't change when one logs in as a wholesaler. What have I done wrong? What am I missing? did you get both working?
great video, thank you so much! also thank you for the trouble shooting and problem solving in the comments, I was able to fix the issue I had with not being able to select a theme template in the product screen.
I forgot to mention I am working with the Impulse theme. I also cannot find step 6 "the exact wording" to replace with. I am afraid to replace anywhere else.
Thank you for the tutorial. I am not able to change theme template on product to products.wholesale even though I created template. Can you please help. A
Hey Leighton, how do you manage inventory if you have a set number of products (ie: 10). I wouldn't want to assign 5 to retail and 5 to wholesale because it would limit the number of items a retail or wholesale customer could purchase. I'd want each customer to be able to purchase up to the 10 items i have in stock. How do you manage this? Thanks!!
Hey Nathan, this is one limitation of this method for sure. If you need to track inventory, then you'd probably need to use an app to sync inventory between the two versions of the product. There are some apps in the Shopify App Store that will let you sync inventory this way. Of course, if you're going to use an app anyway, then you might just want to use one of the existing wholesale apps that solves this issue. My solution generally works best if you don't need to track inventory, or if you sell different items to wholesale vs. retail.
Set up everything and was super pumped... But now my wholesale products are showing up in my collections for regular customers and guests as well..... They're not accessible due to the log-in redirect, but they do see them. I've tried removing tags, collection listings, even manually arranging the collections and excluding the wholesale products but they're still there. Driving me crazy.
Hey! that's a great tutorial thank you very much. How can I have the collections that I create as collection.wholesale not show in the /collections for regular customers? As I also want to create vendor specific collections and give visitor the option to shop by vendor? but I want these collections to only show also only the vendor specific collection. I hope that this explains it.
@ Leighton Taylor - I know its an old video but I don't see any {% for link in linklists.main-menu.links %} or {% for link in linklists[section.settings.main_linklist].links %} in my theme. I am using the latest version of Flex theme.
Hi Leighton, managed to set this all up except I'm having trouble with step 6. I'm logged in as a wholesale customer yet can still see the retails prices. I've put that last code in under site-nav.liquid and when checking, the catalogue disappears yet when I click on the logo it goes back to my home screen with some featured items listed in retail. I also don't have any snippets called dropdown or mobile. My mobile site dropdown won't work when this last code is put in can't see the wholesale menu but can navigate to the home screen only. Help please :)
Hello... Thanks so much for the video. However, I followed your steps but then the entire products (wholesale and retail) are being displayed on the main store. You don't have to login to see the wholesale products. Where did I get it wrong?
That would probably work, but might be a bit difficult to manage on the admin side. You may want to check out the "Customer Pricing" app by Bold if you find it too complicated to manage with my solution.
Hey Thank you so much! Your method really works well and you help me a lot, guys just try to follow every step in the same way and pay a lot of attention to everything, the only thing that it didnt work out was the "wholesale-note", it doesnt show up in the link, someone has a recommendation?
IT WORKS!!!! For those of you that could not get step 6 to work you need add a new Navigation menu called 'main menu wholesale'. then the code you added in step 6 will read this menu instead of the original navigation menu you set up. watch the last part of the video and it makes sense.

Can you update the link with the codes? It shows as unavailable. Thank you
so I did some digging and found his blog post for this. www.envision.io/blogs/ecommerce-pulse/80312001-how-to-add-a-wholesale-area-to-your-shopify-store-without-an-app
if that link gets flagged click the link in his description and in his footer you will see Shopify tutorials. that's where I found it.
Question - does the inventory then need to be adjusted manually for the retail and wholesale product??
Hi Leighton, My wholesale customers pay at 30 days, can you just generate a purchase order instead of going thru checkout?
Hey everyone,
I am not getting the page/product/collection code that is supposed to be auto-filled when creating them.

I did every step. but it doesn't show "wholesale template" as an option for my products or wholesale collection. What do I do?
Thank You!
Is there a way to add tiered pricing or volume discounts?
wow, thank you for this vid. Couple of questions: can you set minimum order value? and can you change shipping setting for just the whole sale part?
Did you ever receive an answer to this question, or figure it out another way?
interested in this as well
different shipping settings require different products. I use locksmith on one store (to show different collections to wholesale customers) and sparklayer on another. once customers are tagged correctly, it's easy to make sure they see the right pages and products.

Hi Leighton,
I know this is a very old video but 'm trying to add the code to my Refresh theme. For step 6 I don't have that particular code, instead I have {
"type": "link_list",

},
How can I add the code you'll like us to replace? i also have some other questions if you have an email address I can forward them. Thank you.
Thank you, that is very helpful! Do you have any solution for a wholesale minimum purchase limit setup?
Did you find any solution to that? That's also one of my problems, please help if you have...
This worked on the Narrative theme, really easy to implement.
I am using Narrative Theme as well, but I am stuck at Step 6. How did you do it?
Good video.. if I wanted to have wholesale (retailer) and wholesale (distributor) do I just do the same thing again?
Thank you Leighton for the super clear instructions! I was able to follow step-by-step. Used the theme called 'Narrative'.

its not working for me either
Hi Leighton Love the tutorial! I was wondering if this will work with the current sShopify stores as this is obviously 6 years ago?
doesn't all translate to 2.0 themes, no
trouble with step 6 like some other people. couldn't find the file which contains the nav. Any thoughts?
SOLVED. I am using Minimal theme. I found a snippet called {/} site-nav.liquid. I replaced the code {% for link in site-nav.links %} for the text that Leighton used, and it surprisingly worked.

So i completed this and it works great. My only remaining challenge is finding a way to add a "quantity" bar to the product within wholesale, and, how to add a min qty order per product per size of print. Leighton any help here?
What a great video! Going though all the steps is super easy. The problem I have having is after going through all the steps the snippet doesn't show up for non wholesale customers and I can't figure out where they should go to sign up. I use Debut and I know sometimes it doesn't let me do certain things.
Hello. When I added the three new templates page, product, and collections (liquid) Shopify did not automatically add code. I deleted them and tried again using json. two lines of code appeared. But still when I go to select the wholesale template it is not there. The only one there is default. Can you help?
Thank you for providing such useful information.
Hi Leighton, does it matter if the "Wholesale" tag for the customer starts with a capital letter? I already had a tag for Wholesale and I can't figure out how to change it to be all lowercase, but that tag isn't linking my account like I'd hoped.
Im working on minimal, on step 6 i keeo getting {% for link in linklists [section.settings.main_linklist.links%} and i cant finish the process, what should i replce?
SOLVED. I am using Minimal theme. I found a snippet called {/} site-nav.liquid. I replaced the code {% for link in site-nav.links %} for the text that Leighton used, and it surprisingly worked.
Hi, I own a website to sell motorcycle parts and I am interested in setting up a wholesale system. Is there a website developer that can work on it? Thank you very much
Great tutorial! I was able to get everything set up and working using the Mobilia Theme. Thanks for this easy to follow tutorial.
My HTML has the code {{ content_for_layout }} twice. Do I change both of them or just the first one? I also want to create this for members, so can I call it "Members" instead of "Wholesale"?
Thanks so much for the tutorial. I'm having some issues with creating the templates. it's not letting me name them individually. I have sections in my theme (Streamline) is that why? Should I make them as sections instead?
Hi Taylor! Awesome video. I've a question, Can I do the same but changing the word 'wholesale' for a variable name 'stylis' or 'X...word'?...Thank you!
Hi Leighton I am using Turbo theme, I have searched all and I don't find the content_for_layout, only content_for_header how do I implement what you are showing in the video ? thanks
great instructions! really made it easy to follow along. I find myself stuck in step 6 where we customize the way wholesale clients navigate the page once logged in. I am using Debut template so the wording is definitely different. I think i've discovered the right code but may need clarification :?
Hi Leighton, thanks for the info. It was very easy to do. The only thing that I am having a problem is that I have the debut theme and I don't have a sign in or create an account button. How do I do this? Thanks for your help, Katy
Is there a way to make sure that the inventory in the wholesale area is pulled from the inventory on the main page? I'm worried I will oversell if the same inventory is being sold in 2 different places and not being tracked consistently.
Hi tried that but the script for locking the rest of users from the wholesale page does not work on my site. Also i noticed that I had 2 content_for_layout scripts included. I only replaced the one that it was identical to your demo
I also have 2 of the "content_for_layout" scripts and am not sure which one to get rid of! Though this is 4 years later...
Ok I need help! when i type in the /wholesale after the url it comes up with 404 page not found, rather than the message to contact for a wholesale account
what if you want to have different pricing for another wholesale clientel
That's what I'm looking for too!
Hi,
I couldn't get rid off the wholesale collection link on my regular site. I did all of the above but I just couldn't get rid of that? what should I do?
do you have the codes by any chance?
How to do this with Simple theme? I am not able to find given lines in theme.liquid or header.liquid
Works well, how do I stop products coming up in search?
Hi there! I am successful with everything except when I try to log in and the menus does not show up. I already made sure that the menu is tagged as wholesale as well as the collections. Can you please let me know what is the problem?
I can't seem to get my wholesale collection to be private.
did you find a way to fix it ?
Same here😔
I am using the Venture theme and I am unable to keep the wholesale products from showing up in the search. This theme is using some sort of Menu system and I am having a tough time figuring our where the code needs to be added. Was hoping you could take a look at this help me out. - Rick
I went through the whole video, but have not yet implemented it. I just want to say thank you for putting this together!
For those trying to replicate this in venture theme. the code {% for link in linklists[section.settings.main_linklist].links %} can be found in header.liquid
Thanks man! Really appreciate your comment! Anybody who is watching this now (2019) than this guys is the help!
Thank you so much, I was looking for solution.
Thanks so much!
Hey L. Taylor...
Quick question... What if my shopify theme dosn't have any "login" button? Is this something i need to add, or is it hidden somewhere behind the theme?
Hi, great tutorials btw. I have successfully added an annoucement bar on my site today. I am now doing the whole but but I have come stuck at 5.11minutes where I need to create a template. I have a choice of JSON or a liquid template -which should I select please?
if you look at the video he has liquid :)
@BASOCHE LH My template offers both options as well and I originally chose .liquid because its in the tutorial but nothing worked, so I went back, deleted the .liquid files and recreated them choosing .JSON and it worked perfectly. I think maybe themes that have the .JSON option are optimized for it and therefore need those endings
Is there a way to repeat this process to add a "Distribution" section and tag as well? I tried it and was not working for me
Hi Leighton great job! I need two types of client. 1) Regular customer -> Generate order with the payment method. 2) Wholesale customer -> Generate the order without method payment, but use net30 or send in cash the delivery for example. Is it possible to do this? thank you
Hi Leighton, my menu is not visible to customers with the wholesale tag only. is there any way to rectify this please?
Hi Leighton, I’m following your steps but get stuck at step 6 (changing the top nav for wholesale). I am working with Editions Theme that seems to have a slightly different code.
I'm stuck at the same stop. I'm using Prestige Theme
Need help. Cannot find where the mobile website information is located. Using Brooklyn theme. Everything seems to work. Few things I've noticed. When not. Logged in under shop you can see collections and the one called wholesale but if you click it not logged in you do get the deny message. Any help on where I can find mobile to. Input that information for homepage
Hi Leighton! I've been using your method of setting up wholesale accounts and it's been great, BUT I've just noticed a problem. If a wholesale customer is logged in and adds wholesale products to their cart, but then logs out, the wholesale products remain in their cart and they can then check out without reaching the minimum order amount I have set (which uses the wholesale customer tag). Any ideas how to get around this? I really need the cart to clear if wholesale customers log out of their accounts. Many thanks!
Hi Shannon, I am seeing that same issue. Were you able to get a solution to that problem?
Hi Arati! I had my Shopify theme developer add some code to my cart page that only revealed the checkout button if the customer had placed a certain $ amount of goods in their cart.
Hi! No I wasn't unfortunately, just hoping people are honest :)
I am having an issue with section 6 as well.
I see none of the options you have given. Please help:)!
Me, too!
Please help!
me to huhuh help please
I know you asked this a while ago, but I just fixed this for myself so maybe it can be of help in the future. I'm working in the Debut theme and under site-nav in snippets, I only had "{% for link in linklists[menu_handle].links %}", nothing about main menu. It worked for me to replace this with what he said. So look for anything that starts with "for link in linklists".
SOLVED. I am using Minimal theme. I found a snippet called {/} site-nav.liquid. I replaced the code {% for link in site-nav.links %} for the text that Leighton used, and it surprisingly worked.
@@joaquinsanchez629 did you have any luck finding it in mobile view b/c i haven't been able to find it. But i used your tip above and it worked. ty!
Great tutorial
Hi Leighton. I tried this, but didn't want WHOLESALE, I needed the words Director. So everywhere you had us include wholesale, I changed it to director. When I do that and try to see the /collections/director I get a 404 error, not the director's note that this page is only for logged in customers. I have no clue what else to do. I'm using the Debut theme and followed your directors exactly.
Took a little doing, but I got this to work and it's awesome! Thanks so much for sharing this Leighton!!
I got it done as you described but it only works on the mobile application. The desktop application catalog doesn't change when one logs in as a wholesaler. What have I done wrong? What am I missing? did you get both working?
@@titanpistolvault8671 I think you have replaced only in Desktop and not Mobile
Hi there. I did everything you mentioned and everything is working except I can see the wholesale products without being logged in - what do I do?
I can't find the dropdown menu or mobile menu in the theme? Can you help with this?
I'm stuck on Step 6 in the Empire Theme. No idea where to find the code so that I can replace it. Can you help?
great video, thank you so much! also thank you for the trouble shooting and problem solving in the comments, I was able to fix the issue I had with not being able to select a theme template in the product screen.
How can you add a min quantity requirement on wholesale products for just the wholesale tag customers?
I forgot to mention I am working with the Impulse theme. I also cannot find step 6 "the exact wording" to replace with. I am afraid to replace anywhere else.
Thank you for the tutorial. I am not able to change theme template on product to products.wholesale even though I created template. Can you please help. A
Thanks for this, I wonder how I could do a digital download subscription without having them input billing address to download
Hey Leighton, how do you manage inventory if you have a set number of products (ie: 10). I wouldn't want to assign 5 to retail and 5 to wholesale because it would limit the number of items a retail or wholesale customer could purchase. I'd want each customer to be able to purchase up to the 10 items i have in stock. How do you manage this? Thanks!!
Hey Nathan, this is one limitation of this method for sure. If you need to track inventory, then you'd probably need to use an app to sync inventory between the two versions of the product. There are some apps in the Shopify App Store that will let you sync inventory this way. Of course, if you're going to use an app anyway, then you might just want to use one of the existing wholesale apps that solves this issue. My solution generally works best if you don't need to track inventory, or if you sell different items to wholesale vs. retail.
I can find this code{ inklists.main-menu.links} I have try both codes. The theme I use is Palo Alto in Shopify. Need help
i followed each steps and both products are still being displayed on supply theme
Set up everything and was super pumped...
But now my wholesale products are showing up in my collections for regular customers and guests as well.....
They're not accessible due to the log-in redirect, but they do see them. I've tried removing tags, collection listings, even manually arranging the collections and excluding the wholesale products but they're still there. Driving me crazy.
I can NOT name my new templates anything!!! Just creating another page, collection or product template. Help please :)
Hey! that's a great tutorial thank you very much.
How can I have the collections that I create as collection.wholesale not show in the /collections for regular customers?
As I also want to create vendor specific collections and give visitor the option to shop by vendor? but I want these collections to only show also only the vendor specific collection. I hope that this explains it.
@ Leighton Taylor - I know its an old video but I don't see any {% for link in linklists.main-menu.links %} or {% for link in linklists[section.settings.main_linklist].links %} in my theme. I am using the latest version of Flex theme.
any luck on this? i am having the same issue
@@SamaDanesh Unfortunately No
Hi Leighton, managed to set this all up except I'm having trouble with step 6. I'm logged in as a wholesale customer yet can still see the retails prices. I've put that last code in under site-nav.liquid and when checking, the catalogue disappears yet when I click on the logo it goes back to my home screen with some featured items listed in retail. I also don't have any snippets called dropdown or mobile. My mobile site dropdown won't work when this last code is put in can't see the wholesale menu but can navigate to the home screen only. Help please :)
Hello... Thanks so much for the video. However, I followed your steps but then the entire products (wholesale and retail) are being displayed on the main store. You don't have to login to see the wholesale products. Where did I get it wrong?
Can this work for levels of pricing? Say a Bronze, Silver & Gold VIP pricing structure? Would I just do this process 3 times over?
That would probably work, but might be a bit difficult to manage on the admin side. You may want to check out the "Customer Pricing" app by Bold if you find it too complicated to manage with my solution.
can you please update link or paste code in comments? It's says "content not available"
Is this for only whole sale products or both retail and wholesale?
Hey Thank you so much! Your method really works well and you help me a lot, guys just try to follow every step in the same way and pay a lot of attention to everything, the only thing that it didnt work out was the "wholesale-note", it doesnt show up in the link, someone has a recommendation?
