Adding a wholesale link
To make it easy for wholesale customers to log in or register, you can add a wholesale login link to your store’s navigation bar. Follow these steps to set it up:
- Open the theme customization menu
- In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
- Find your current published theme and click Customize.
- Add a Wholesale menu Item to your header
- In the theme editor, click Header in the left-side panel.
- On the right-hand side, click Menu > Edit. This will open the menu settings.
- Click Add menu item.
- In the name field, enter Wholesale, or whichever label you prefer
- In the Link field, select Pages, then search for and select the correct sign up form for your plan type.
- For Lite and Advanced users, select Create a Wholesale Account page
- For Premium users, select Wholesale Registration page.
- Click Add and then Save your changes.
On both sign up forms we also have a link to the Wholesale Login page. This page is designed for use with the Legacy account type in Shopify. If you are not using this account type please write in to support@wholesalegorilla.net and ask us to redirect the login link to the correct login for your account type.
We will be releasing our new options for the “Customer Account” type of sign in soon and we appreciate your patience as we work to improve our app to suit your needs.
Why Link to the Wholesale Login Page?
The Wholesale Login page includes a Register option for new customers. By linking to the login page instead of a separate registration page, you ensure that:
- New wholesale customers can easily register.
- Returning customers can log in without confusion.
Once saved, the wholesale login link will appear in your store’s navigation, making access seamless for your customers.
