  1. Do you use a plug-in for having a different menu on the Wholesale to the one on the Public pages? Or can this be done internally?

    1. Hi, Cade. You can use our other plugin, WooCommerce Protected Categories ( https://barn2.co.uk/kb-categories/wpc-kb/ ), which allows you to either show or hide protected categories & their products in navigation menus via its Category Visibility options ( https://barn2.co.uk/kb/wpc-installation-basic-setup/#category-visibility ). You can set these menu options to be visible to only your wholesale Users or User Role/Roles on your site.

      Let me know if you might have any other questions. You can also contact us via our Support Center at https://barn2.co.uk/support-center/ . Thanks.

    2. For people who is wondering, you could achieve this with Nav Menu Roles plugin and WooCommerce for Logged-in Users. Those are free and simple plugin.

    1. hi, Rahul. Thanks for asking about this! Please could you add this to the WooCommerce Wholesale Pro feature request forum ( https://barn2.co.uk/feature-requests/ ), along with details of how you would like it to work.

      Other customers can then vote on your suggestion, and we will decide whether to add it in future. We add new features based on a combination of demand, difficulty and impact.

      In the meantime, I’m sorry that this isn’t possible. As an alternative, you can use mix and match products with our other plugin, WooCommerce Product Table as described in our tutorial at https://barn2.co.uk/woocommerce-mix-and-match-products/ .

    1. Hello there. Thanks for your interest in WooCommerce Wholesale Pro. I’m glad to hear our video tutorial is helpful. Should you have any questions, please let me know. You can also get in touch with us via our dedicated Support Center at https://barn2.co.uk/support-center/ . Cheers.

  2. It is a great product and the tutorial is amazing. But I could not follow the guidline in tutorial because my wordpress cannot let me do that ? can you help ?

  3. Perhaps I missed this, but let’s say you have an eCommerce shop using Flatsome (theme), Divi/Elegent Themes or Blocksy (theme), will the wholesale section of the site still maintain the overall look of the theme already in use?

    1. Hi there. Thanks for asking and sorry for the late reply, as we missed this. Yes, it will as the wholesale store page uses the same archive-product.php page template in your theme.

      Let me know if you have any other questions. You can also get in touch with us much quicker via our dedicate Support Center – https://barn2.com/support-center/ . Thanks!

  4. There are many plug ins when you type in what ones you suggested, however can you show the icons of the plug ins you are working with please.

    1. Hi there. Thanks for your comment!

      Some of the plugins we’ve mentioned in the video are actually premium plugins (and are thus, not available from the Plugins > Add New menu from your WordPress dashboard). You may find the link to all the plugin’s Sales page in our written tutorial, link is in the video description. Thanks!

  5. Hi, can I manage MOQ for each category/product? Example: Wholesale Gold must order at least 50 products to get more % discount and Wholesale Platinum 100 products for more % discount. Is that possible?

    1. Hi Mario! Thanks for your comment.

      Our plugin lets you set the discount level for each wholesale role, as such, it’s not possible to offer additional discounts based on quantity (like you have described). This is on our feature request list and I will add a vote for you. Please, could you let me know your email address for this, and so that you will be notified if/when this feature becomes available?

      In the meantime, you can achieve a similar result by using variations to add the different quantity options. For more details, please see https://barn2.com/kb/wholesale-bulk-pricing/.

      Looking forward to your response. Thanks!

  6. I would like to ask you a specific question related to my need.
    So basically, I need to create a wholesale part that takes into a special price for minimum quantities order (100 / 500 / 1000 pieces).
    Then I need to create a direct QR link for immediate payment (with discount possibility), to speed up and simplify the sales process for wholesalers.
    I would like to create a wholesale account automatically as soon as the person goes through this buying process via QR code, and generate the creation of the pro account after the payment with his purchase data.
    it will simplify the B to B process when i’ll go head to head meeting.
    this is exactly what i need to do ! if you tell me straight up that is simple and possible with this plug in …
    i’ll take it !

    thanks a lot for your time and your reply.
    best regard.

    1. Hi, Alxndr. Thanks for your interest! Our WooCommerce Wholesale Pro plugin allows you to set a special wholesale price or discount for your products and you can use it on its own if you add/create products or variations priced at those set number of quantities (i.e. variations per 100 / 500 / 1000 pieces).

      As for creating/generating a QR link for immediate payment or direct checkout with a wholesale discount, please note that the functionality required for this is no longer part of our plugin and I suggest you look into a such a QR-coded direct checkout option/feature with available WooCommerce compatible payment gateways.

      Wholesale pricing and discounts also require that a user already be logged in as a registered wholesale user/customer. I’m happy to discuss alternatives and in more detail if you contact us via our dedicated Support Center at https://barn2.com/support-center/ . Cheers.

  7. I have just purchased the wholesale pro and I am trying to figure out how to exclude certain products from the wholesale store as I have some sku’s which dont relate to wholesalers. If you could please point me into the right direction that will be great, Cheers,

    1. Hi, Lucas. Thanks for your purchase. I’m sorry to hear you’re having difficulty with what sounds to be setting Wholesale Visibility options on your site. So that we may locate your Barn2 Account to assist you best, and for you to receive full product support, please could you send us a message via our dedicated Support Center ( https://barn2.com/support-center/ ) using the email address that you used to purchase the plugin and/or include your plugin License key. ​Once you’ve done so, we will attend to you as quickly as possible. Many thanks!

    1. Hi, Robert. Thanks for your request, which I will relay to our marketing team. While most or some of the information in the video remains the same, you can find more current information in our Knowledge Base articles and tutorials at https://barn2.com/kb-categories/woocommerce-wholesale-pro-kb/ (which we are able to update quicker than publishing new videos with every change or update). We’re also happy to help you with any questions via https://barn2.com/support-center/ .

  8. I see the password used is very long. Does this plugin allow the admin to limit password length? Too long a password can be hard to remember or a bother to create. Does the plugin allow me to set it to for example min 8 characters? TIA

    1. Hi, Berenisse. The wholesale password creation form will work with the same restrictions that are set for the general WordPress password reset form on your site. Hence for what you’d like to achieve, you can use a third-party plugin that allows you to set the password strength (e.g. minimum and maximum number of characters) for user accounts on your site.

      I hope this makes sense and helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions. You can also send us a message via our Support Center at https://barn2.com/support-center/ . Cheers.

    1. Hi, thank you for your comment/question. Yes, the plugin uses WooCommerce’s standard “My Account” page that allows customers to manage their user profile and orders. Wholesale customers can review their previous orders like a normal retail customer would.

      If you have further questions, I recommend getting in touch via our Support Center (https://barn2.com/support-center/) for best assistance. Thank you.
