Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Wholesale Essentials for WooCommerce

Once you've installed and activated Wholesale Essentials for WooCommerce, go to WooCommerce → Settings → Wholesale. The plugin automatically creates a default Wholesale role and a Wholesale Login page (containing the [wholesale_login] shortcode) on activation. To set up wholesale pricing: Go to the Roles tab and edit the default Wholesale role (or click Add new role to create a new one). Enter a percentage discount, for example 20%. This is automatically deducted from the price of every product for users with this role. Save the role. Either send your customers to the Wholesale Login page to register themselves, or add wholesale users manually from Users → Add New and assign them the wholesale role. New wholesale customers receive an automatic welcome email with their login details and start seeing wholesale prices across your whole store. The full documentation covers every setting and option in detail.

You set a percentage discount for each wholesale role - for example, 20% off for "Retailer" and 30% off for "Distributor". The plugin applies that discount automatically to every product in your store whenever a customer with that role is logged in. You don't need to edit individual products.

Yes. Wholesale Essentials for WooCommerce supports unlimited wholesale roles, each with its own percentage discount. This is one of the key differences from some other free wholesale plugins which limit you to a single role.

Yes. The plugin includes a wholesale registration form which you can embed anywhere using the [wholesale_login] shortcode. New registrations are automatically approved and the customer receives a welcome email. If you want to manually approve registrations before customers gain access, that's available in WooCommerce Wholesale Pro.

The free version uses global percentage discounts only - one discount percentage per role applied across all products. Product-specific wholesale pricing is available in WooCommerce Wholesale Pro.

The plugin doesn't include tiered quantity pricing, but you can use it alongside our WooCommerce Discount Manager plugin to add quantity-based bulk discounts per role.

Yes. Tax is applied as normal unless you upgrade to WooCommerce Wholesale Pro, which lets you disable tax for wholesale roles.

The free version covers the core wholesale setup: registration, unlimited roles with global percentage discounts, price visibility, and coupon control. The Pro version adds moderation, product-level and category-level pricing, email customization, registration fields, shipping and payment visibility by role, and more. See WooCommerce Wholesale Pro.
