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!
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
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
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."
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
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 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!
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 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.
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!!!
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.
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 :)
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.
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?
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?
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?
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'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.
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?
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?
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
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.
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.
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 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 :)
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)
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, 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
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
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?
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?
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
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.
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?
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
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?
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?
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?
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.
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! I would like to create a seperat landing-page for wholesaler logins and remove it from the top menu bar - do you have any suggestions on how I could do this? The idea is that this login/account feature is unimportant to retail customers on the site, as we don't currently use the account system for this. Basically it should only be accessible only through the landing-page with accounts I create. Thanks on beforehand - great video!
I do this with the helium customer fields app. my wholesale application form redirects users to a wholesale-specific page. i use locksmith to hide this page from users without the "b2b" tag but idk if you need that
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.
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
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?
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'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!
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.
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, 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
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.
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?
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.
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
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?
Amazing tutorial- thanks so much! However, my theme of course is presenting a minor issue when it comes to Step 6. The Icon Theme that I'm using features a mega drop-down menu. I cannot figure out how to place the snippet properly. I can't find the {% for link in linklists.main-menu.links %} coding. What I did found was {% for link in linklists[block.settings.mega-nav].links %} but when I replaced that with the snippet, it seemed to override something- and now when I go to the live site, instead of displaying the menus that I am asking it to display in the mega dropdown, it just displays the main menu twice (in the mega dropdown I can select up to two sub-menus to display, but instead of showing my "catalog" and "explore" menus, what is showing up is two main menus side by side). Hope this makes sense. Basically I need to figure out how to do Step 6 when there is a mega dropdown feature involved. Something isn't working properly, I suspect this Step will be slightly more difficult because of the theme I am using. Please help!
@@jasonlandonruss4270 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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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 :)
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"?
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 Leighton! I love this tutorial and have successfully installed and used it on my shop, but now I have changed themes and am trying to transfer it all over to the Minimal Theme, but am having trouble. It's not showing my wholesale note to unauthorized users. It let's them have full access to my wholesale collection of listings. I've double and triple-checked the code, the templates in the products, tags, etc. I can't seem to get it to work with this new theme. Could you please advise? Thank you so much!
Hi Plan-It Planet! I can't say for sure without having a look at your code. Did you copy/paste the code from your original theme, or go back and get it from my tutorial? If you haven't already tried, I'd suggest getting it from the tutorial rather than trying to copy from one of your themes to another. If you still can't figure it out, I recommend using Storetasker to get affordable help with stuff like this!

@@kingkingsley7162 this seems to be a problem for many of us. I am not seeing a notice to create an account either. If I type the word wholesale at the end of my URL anyone has access to the wholesale pricing too.

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.

Created a customer with a wholesale tag....but when I type in that wholesale extension for that product it still wont let me see it.... how do I link a customer account to the wholesale section?
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.
Hey Leighton.... Great video! Wondering if there is a way to only do a wholesale collection, not products. I am having a major problem with taxes in Canada. Shopify can't do anything but offer an APP solution which didn't work anyway. SO.... we have 2 taxes in BC.... PST & GST. Our retailers (wholesalers) only pay GST because they have a PST number and remit that on their own. I have to find a way for them to login and create an account but only pay the GST, not the PST on any product they add to the cart. Thanks in advance! :-)
You can set collections as wholesale only using this method. I'm not sure I understand what you're asking about taxes though. You can set up wholesale-only products with their own tax settings, and these are distinct from the regular (retail-only) products.
@@Leighton-Taylor Yes I understand that. I think I have the tax thing figured out. It's that step 6 that's the problem. I can't find it anywhere and this video is quite old so I'm thinking they changed their code slightly. We are using their "Venture" theme.
@@pinchskincare3860 Look in Sections, and find a file with a name like "header.liquid". Do you see anything like that? If so, check in that file and look for anything with the word "menu". If you can find that, copy/paste a few lines of code here that contain the "menu" part and I'll see if I can tell what's going on.
Can you display the wholesale price with the retail next to it - but crossed out? So they are aware of how much they are saving? Is there also a way to add a minimum spend, if they do not meet the minimum spend add a charge to the sale? Thanks :)

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?

yep, easy peasy. and super easy to manage with a whoelsale pricing app like wholesale club or sparklayer.

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
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.
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.
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 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 :)
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 am having the same issue rn
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.
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
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
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?
Hi Jan, sorry for the late reply. Please send a screenshot of your cart page to hello@envision.io and I'll see if I can tell what's going on.
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?
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
I'm having an issue with step 4. I already have products on my site I just can't change the THEME TEMPLATES on the product to WHOLESALE. Please help?!
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.
I had the same issue. There isn’t a place that says “Theme templates”.
@@Leighton-Taylor I stuck on this as well. Should i just work on the published website. I dont understand how to create templates,
great video, I know what I will be doing this weekend. Thank you Leighton!
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 for putting this content out there. You came through for me big time ! you sir gained a subscriber.
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
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?
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?
I can't seem to get my wholesale collection to be private.
did you find a way to fix it ?
Same here😔
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?
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.
I am going to start fresh from step 1 to make sure I did everything correctly. If I am able to rectify this I will update in another reply.
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!
I would like to create a seperat landing-page for wholesaler logins and remove it from the top menu bar - do you have any suggestions on how I could do this? The idea is that this login/account feature is unimportant to retail customers on the site, as we don't currently use the account system for this.
Basically it should only be accessible only through the landing-page with accounts I create.
Thanks on beforehand - great video!
I do this with the helium customer fields app. my wholesale application form redirects users to a wholesale-specific page. i use locksmith to hide this page from users without the "b2b" tag but idk if you need that
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.
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
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?
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'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!
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.
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?
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
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.
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 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?
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.
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
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?
Amazing tutorial- thanks so much!
However, my theme of course is presenting a minor issue when it comes to Step 6. The Icon Theme that I'm using features a mega drop-down menu. I cannot figure out how to place the snippet properly.
I can't find the {% for link in linklists.main-menu.links %} coding.
What I did found was {% for link in linklists[block.settings.mega-nav].links %}
but when I replaced that with the snippet, it seemed to override something- and now when I go to the live site, instead of displaying the menus that I am asking it to display in the mega dropdown, it just displays the main menu twice (in the mega dropdown I can select up to two sub-menus to display, but instead of showing my "catalog" and "explore" menus, what is showing up is two main menus side by side). Hope this makes sense.
Basically I need to figure out how to do Step 6 when there is a mega dropdown feature involved. Something isn't working properly, I suspect this Step will be slightly more difficult because of the theme I am using. Please help!
This is also my problem... someone please helpppp

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.
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!

impossible to create template without add something in, with DAWN THEME ... unfortunately doesnt work for me (with dawn theme)
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?
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".

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
Is this for only whole sale products or both retail and wholesale?
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.

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 Leighton! I love this tutorial and have successfully installed and used it on my shop, but now I have changed themes and am trying to transfer it all over to the Minimal Theme, but am having trouble. It's not showing my wholesale note to unauthorized users. It let's them have full access to my wholesale collection of listings. I've double and triple-checked the code, the templates in the products, tags, etc. I can't seem to get it to work with this new theme. Could you please advise? Thank you so much!
Hi Plan-It Planet! I can't say for sure without having a look at your code. Did you copy/paste the code from your original theme, or go back and get it from my tutorial? If you haven't already tried, I'd suggest getting it from the tutorial rather than trying to copy from one of your themes to another. If you still can't figure it out, I recommend using Storetasker to get affordable help with stuff like this!

Created a customer with a wholesale tag....but when I type in that wholesale extension for that product it still wont let me see it.... how do I link a customer account to the wholesale section?
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.
Hey Leighton.... Great video! Wondering if there is a way to only do a wholesale collection, not products. I am having a major problem with taxes in Canada. Shopify can't do anything but offer an APP solution which didn't work anyway. SO.... we have 2 taxes in BC.... PST & GST. Our retailers (wholesalers) only pay GST because they have a PST number and remit that on their own. I have to find a way for them to login and create an account but only pay the GST, not the PST on any product they add to the cart. Thanks in advance! :-)
You can set collections as wholesale only using this method. I'm not sure I understand what you're asking about taxes though. You can set up wholesale-only products with their own tax settings, and these are distinct from the regular (retail-only) products.
@@Leighton-Taylor Yes I understand that. I think I have the tax thing figured out. It's that step 6 that's the problem. I can't find it anywhere and this video is quite old so I'm thinking they changed their code slightly. We are using their "Venture" theme.
@@pinchskincare3860 Look in Sections, and find a file with a name like "header.liquid". Do you see anything like that? If so, check in that file and look for anything with the word "menu". If you can find that, copy/paste a few lines of code here that contain the "menu" part and I'll see if I can tell what's going on.
Works well, how do I stop products coming up in search?
Can you display the wholesale price with the retail next to it - but crossed out? So they are aware of how much they are saving?
Is there also a way to add a minimum spend, if they do not meet the minimum spend add a charge to the sale?
Thanks :)
i reckon you could do it a similar way to a product on sale. put in a sale price and then the original will be crossed out. maybe :)
Does this tutorial still work for Shopify in 2021? This tutorial looks amazing, but I was concerned it might be different now.
