A PDF price list goes stale the moment you send it. A live wholesale catalog stays current and lets buyers order in one message.
Wholesale runs on price lists. Send a PDF today and it is wrong next week. Buyers keep old copies, quote old prices, and you spend your day confirming. A live wholesale catalog fixes all three.
One live list instead of many PDFs
Publish your wholesale catalog once. When a price changes, change it once and every buyer who opens the link sees the current number. No re-exporting, no re-sending, no version confusion.
Two audiences, two catalogs
Many sellers run a retail catalog and a wholesale one from a single account, each with its own link and prices. Keep your wholesale list unlisted and share it only with buyers; let retail run publicly.
Collect orders, not questions
- Buyers add items and quantities to a cart.
- The order arrives itemised — no "confirming quantities" back and forth.
- Add a minimum order note in the catalog so expectations are set up front.
Why not a spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet opens awkwardly on a phone and shows a wall of numbers. A catalog shows photos, categories and a cart, which makes buying easier for your customers — and easier buying means bigger, more frequent orders.

Frequently asked questions
PDF price lists become outdated the moment prices or inventory change, cannot be searched easily on mobile devices, and force buyers to type manual order emails prone to costly errors.
