VentasxMayor vs Wix: which one is right for a wholesaler, manufacturer or distributor?

Let's be clear from the start: Wix is an excellent website builder. If you need a company site, a portfolio or a simple retail store, it's a great choice. But if you are a wholesaler, manufacturer or distributor, your business doesn't need "a website with a cart": it needs a B2B sales system. And that's where the two platforms play completely different games.

In this comparison we go over the key differences: each platform's focus, the B2B tools a wholesale business uses every day, real costs, setup, and fit for Latin America.

Focus: general-purpose website vs wholesale platform

The B2B tools you use every day

This is the core difference. These are the key tools VentasxMayor includes natively that in Wix either don't exist or depend on external apps:

• Wholesale access with customer approval: your catalog and prices are not public. Each customer registers and you decide who to approve and under what terms.
• Price lists per customer or group: different prices for distributors, resellers and special customers, without duplicating the catalog.
• Minimum orders and pack selling: minimum by amount or quantity, closed-box or size-curve selling. The order won't close unless it meets your terms.
• Automatic discounts: volume tiers, bundles and promotions applied automatically in the cart, following your commercial rules.
• Pre-orders: sell collections or future production before manufacturing, with delivery dates and pre-order stock.
• Sales reps with their own access: your sales team places orders for their customers, with assigned portfolios and per-rep statistics.
• Automatic PDF catalogs: generate catalogs with per-list pricing to share on WhatsApp, always up to date.
• B2B-minded payments: bank transfer, cash, MercadoPago and installments, with per-customer terms.
• Autoseller: automatic abandoned-cart recovery and restock reminders for customers who already bought from you.
• ERP integrations: sync stock, prices and orders with the management systems wholesalers in the region actually use.
• Bulk import and updates: import thousands of products from Excel and update prices and stock across the whole catalog in one step.

In Wix, replicating even half of this list means combining several third-party apps, paying for each separately and hoping they play well together. And even then, things like sales reps with their own portfolio, pre-orders or per-price-list PDF catalogs simply don't exist.

Real costs

Wix's monthly plan looks affordable, but it's just the starting point: to seriously operate as a wholesaler you need to add paid B2B apps, and building the store is on you or on a designer you hire.

Setup: drag & drop is not the same as turnkey

Wix's visual editor is one of its strong points, but make no mistake: the work is on you. Choosing a template, designing every page, uploading product by product, configuring shipping, payments and the B2B apps. For a wholesale catalog with hundreds or thousands of products and variants, that's weeks of work.

With VentasxMayor your wholesale store is delivered turnkey: the team imports your catalog (from Excel or from your current system), sets up your domain, leaves payments and shipping working and trains you to operate. You start taking orders in days, not months.

Built for Latin America

Wix is a global platform: it works the same for a hair salon in Paris and a restaurant in Miami. That has a cost for a wholesaler in the region: it doesn't know how you sell. It doesn't integrate with the ERPs local wholesalers use, doesn't understand pack selling or running accounts, and its support can't advise you on your business.

VentasxMayor works exclusively with wholesalers, manufacturers and distributors across Latin America: MercadoPago and local payment methods, integrations with regional ERPs, local currency and a support team that sees businesses like yours every day.

Summary comparison table

Conclusion: the right tool for the right job

Wix is a great choice for what it was built for: websites and simple retail stores. But a wholesale business doesn't sell like a retailer: it sells with price lists, minimums, sales reps, per-customer terms and an ERP behind it. Forcing a B2C tool to do B2B work ends up costing more — in apps, in time and in lost sales.

If you sell wholesale, your platform needs to be wholesale.

Frequently asked questions

Can you sell wholesale with Wix?+

You can get part of the way there, with limits. Wix's eCommerce is designed for retail (a public catalog, one price per product, a cart), so per-customer pricing, minimum orders or restricted access depend on paid third-party apps, each with its own monthly cost and configuration. Other wholesale features — sales reps with their own portfolio, pre-orders, per-price-list PDF catalogs — simply don't exist in its ecosystem.

What does VentasxMayor include that Wix doesn't?+

Everything a wholesaler uses daily comes native, with no external apps: customer-approval access, per-customer or per-group price lists, minimums and pack selling, automatic volume discounts, pre-orders, sales reps with their own access, PDF catalogs, B2B payments with installments, Autoseller for cart recovery and restock reminders, regional ERP integrations and bulk import from Excel.

How long does it take to launch a wholesale store on each platform?+

On Wix the build is on you (or a designer): template, pages, product-by-product upload, shipping, payments and B2B apps. For a catalog with hundreds or thousands of products and variants, that's weeks of work. With VentasxMayor the store is delivered turnkey: the team imports the catalog from Excel or your current system, sets up domain, payments and shipping, and trains you. You start taking orders in days.
