Shop Local offers businesses an innovative solution to shop thousands of products. Our Wholesale service combines the best features from wholesale marketplaces and buying on a brand’s site into a new service.
Why Choose Our Wholesale Service?
Purchase products from these 70 brands using the Shop Local Wholesale Service:
Brands place their products in their Shop Local account. Authorized retailers can purchase these items wholesale. Sales reps can receive order updates. If a brand is a Brand Syncing partner, its products can automatically be offered for wholesale purchasing via this service.
A retailer is often stuck between its wholesale and retail software. Bridge connects these two software sides, thereby saving the retailer time and speeding product to market.
Many retailers are stuck trying to connect their digital wholesale buying and their store’s website. A store may use wholesale software, including that from MarketTime, Juniper, Faire, Shop Local, etc., and the store needs to get that product into its front-facing, retail software, which may be powered by Bridge, Shopify, BigCommerce, etc. A retailer should be able to make a wholesale purchase and have it appear easily on the store's website, but that is not possible. Likewise, a retailer should be able to start on its website and initiate a wholesale purchase with a brand, but this is also not possible.
Industry SolutionShop Local connects these wholesale and retail sides. Our software allows a store to place a wholesale order and display the items in its retail website. We also allow a store to start a wholesale re-order on its own website and complete it with the brand.
ExampleFor example, Laura, who owns a gift shop in Dallas, TX, can use Shop Local to buy dinnerware plates from Casafina, a Portuguese tableware brand, at wholesale on Casafina’s Shop Local Store. The plates will appear instantly in Laura’s consumer-facing Shop Local Store. Laura doesn’t need to ask the brand for pictures or data to manually load it to her website. This helps Laura sell the plates she bought more quickly, and helps Laura's customers see more products more quickly. When Laura wants to reorder the plates from Casafina, she can start on her Shop Local Store. She can see real-time stock from the brand, and click one button to start the reorder process. Shop Local’s Wholesale service requires 50% fewer steps by Laura than other services.
