Wholesale pricing & buyer access

Show trade prices only to approved buyers, with quantity breaks and per-customer rates.

Updated 19 October 2026

Gated pricing (the core idea)

Slaby keeps your wholesale prices private by construction. A public visitor sees your catalogue and product details but never a trade price — the price is simply not sent to their browser. Only an approved business buyer, signed in, receives wholesale pricing. This is enforced at the data layer, so a wholesale price can never leak to an unapproved viewer.

Approving buyers

A business requests access from your storefront. You review and approve requests in the admin; once approved, that buyer sees trade pricing on your store. You can run a store as wholesale-only, retail-only, or both from one catalogue.

Quantity-break tiers

Set quantity breaks per product — e.g. ₹100/unit from 1, ₹95 from 50, ₹90 from 100. The right tier is applied automatically at cart and checkout based on the ordered quantity.

Per-customer negotiated prices

Give a specific buyer a private negotiated price on a specific product. It overrides the tier and base wholesale price for that buyer only, is never visible to anyone else, and shows on their product page as 'Your price' so what they see matches what they pay.

Common questions

How do I show wholesale prices only to approved buyers?: Turn on the wholesale storefront. Trade buyers request access, and you approve or reject each one and can set an expiry. Approved buyers then see their trade rates, quantity breaks and minimum order quantities. Everyone else, including retail shoppers, never receives trade prices: they are left out of the page itself, not just hidden on screen.
Can a competitor see my wholesale prices?: No. Trade prices are only ever sent to approved, signed-in buyers — an unapproved visitor's browser never receives the amount, so there is nothing to scrape.
Can I sell both retail and wholesale?: Yes. One catalogue can serve an open retail storefront and gated wholesale pricing for approved buyers.
How do buyers get approved?: They request access from your store; you approve (or decline) each request in the admin. Approved buyers immediately see their trade prices.
