Ordlo Wholesale: Documentation

Plugin: Ordlo Wholesale for WooCommerce v1.0.5
Requires: WordPress 6.0+, WooCommerce 7.0+, PHP 7.4+

Ordlo Wholesale turns your WooCommerce store into a full B2B operation. It lets you offer different prices to trade customers, manage who can register as a wholesale buyer, control what they can see and order, and give them a dedicated account area — all without needing a separate store or a different website.


Getting Started


Core Features

  • Customer Groups — create groups like Trade, Distributor, or Staff, each with their own pricing rules and restrictions
  • Pricing — set wholesale prices, create reusable price lists, reward bulk orders with tier pricing, and target individual customers with specific prices
  • Product & Category Visibility — choose which products your wholesale and retail customers can see
  • Registration & Applications — set up a trade application form and review, approve, or reject applications from your admin
  • VAT & Tax Controls — add a VAT number field at checkout, validate EU numbers against VIES, and control how tax is displayed to B2B vs retail customers
  • Guest Access & Store Controls — hide prices from the public, require a login to browse, and fully gate your store to trade customers only

Orders & Account

  • Quotes — let customers request a price before committing, then send a formal quote and convert it to an order when accepted
  • Conversations — private messaging between your store and wholesale customers, linked to quotes and accessible from My Account
  • Quick Order & Purchase Lists — let customers order by SKU, paste a list, upload a CSV, and save repeat orders for next time
  • Company Accounts & Subaccounts — let a trade account manage multiple staff logins under one company relationship, with custom permissions for each
  • Offers — create time-limited, fixed-price product bundles visible only to specific customers or groups
  • My Account Hub — the dedicated area in your store where wholesale customers manage their account, orders, quotes, and more

Administration

  • Bulk Edit & Import/Export — update wholesale prices, minimum quantities, and visibility settings across many products at once
  • Notifications & Email Design — customise the emails sent to customers and admins and style them to match your brand
  • Reporting & Status — view wholesale revenue figures, check your store environment, and export reports as CSV
  • Trade & Customs Fields — add country of origin and HS codes to products for international trade documents
