For this you only need to complete two steps. Which we will detail immediately.

What is a wholesaler?

A distributor who sells products to a retailer . A wholesaler will sell their product in bulk to retailers, which will allow the retailer to take advantage of a lower price than buying single items. The wholesaler will usually buy products directly from the manufacturer, but could also buy from a reseller. In both cases, the wholesaler enjoys large discounts for the purchase of large quantities of goods. The wholesaler is rarely involved in the actual manufacture of a product, focusing instead on distribution.

A wholesaler needs a license to sell his product to the retailer, and his product will generally not be available to the customer at the same price as to the retailer. In effect, the retailer makes his profits by increasing the price he pays to the wholesaler. In the event that a customer wishes to purchase a product from the wholesaler, he will be billed for drop shipping , these costs being billed to the customer as well as to the wholesaler by merchant drop shipping .

Often a wholesaler is a specialist in a specific product or category of products. Other wholesalers will offer a wide variety of products. In addition, the wholesaler may focus on one type of business for their products or offer items for sale.

Wholesalers also differ from distributors in that they are generally not associated with a particular product and therefore are not likely to offer a higher level of service or support often offered by distributors of official products. Indeed, the wholesaler is rarely directly associated with the manufacturer from whom he buys and does not know the specifics and subtleties of the products he sells. Wholesalers can also offer competing products, which is not the case for distributors.

Have the merchandise wholesale

Like any vendor, there are some very basic things you need to do.

If you are already a wholesaler and only need to become an online wholesaler, these tasks are not for you. On the other hand, if you want to start in the adventure of an online wholesaler, you must complete the following tasks.
