Registration allows new wholesale buyers to request access to your wholesale portal. Unlike a retail store, each buyer must be approved before they can see prices and place orders.
How it works
Businesses interested in buying wholesale complete a registration form with their commercial details. You can configure custom questions to collect key information about each applicant: business type, estimated purchase volume, number of locations, coverage area, and any other data relevant to evaluating whether the applicant qualifies as a wholesale buyer.
Once the form is submitted, the registration remains pending approval. Your team reviews the application, verifies the applicant's commercial data, and decides whether to approve or reject it. The buyer gains access to the wholesale portal — including prices and the ability to place orders — only after being approved.
If a buyer was blocked (for example, due to non-payment or non-compliance), they can request access again through a special link.
Available options
- Custom questions: Add questions to the registration form to collect key commercial data — business type (distributor, reseller, retailer), tax ID, number of locations, estimated monthly purchase volume, geographic area, trade references.
- Manual approval: Review and approve each registration request individually, maintaining full control over who accesses your wholesale portal and your special pricing.
- Access link for blocked buyers: Blocked buyers can request reactivation through a dedicated link, making it easier to manage reinstatements.
- Price list assignment: When approving a buyer, you can assign them a specific price list based on their profile (distributor, reseller, new customer, etc.).
- Sales rep assignment: You can link the buyer to a salesperson on your commercial team to manage the relationship.
Tips
- Use custom questions to filter from registration: ask for tax ID, business type, estimated volume, and area. This saves time when evaluating applications.
- Review registration requests frequently — a wholesale buyer who waits too long for approval may go to a competitor.
- The manual approval workflow is fundamental for wholesale sales: it lets you verify that each buyer is a real business and assign them the appropriate commercial conditions.
- Use registration to segment buyers from the start: distributors, resellers, retail shops — each with their own price list and conditions.
Registration form fields
The registration form displays a subset of the client profile. Fields marked as required must be completed before the registration can be submitted.
Fiscal information (required)
- Tax status (Condicion IVA) (select, Argentina only): The buyer's tax status. Options are: Responsable Inscripto, Monotributo, Sujeto Exento (can be hidden by admin), and Consumidor Final (can be hidden by admin). Most wholesale buyers are "Responsable Inscripto".
- Tax ID (CUIT/DNI) (text, required): Fiscal identification number. The label changes by country: CUIT (Argentina), CNPJ (Brazil), RUT (Chile), RFC/CURP (Mexico), NIT (Colombia/Bolivia), RNC (Dominican Republic), NIF (Spain). In Argentina, the field auto-validates against AFIP on blur and auto-fills the company name (Razon Social).
- Company name (Razon Social) (text, required): Legal business name. Auto-populated from AFIP when the tax ID is validated. Not shown if tax status is Consumidor Final. Disabled after AFIP validation.
Contact (required)
- Mobile phone (Celular) (phone, required): Mobile phone number with country code selector.
Contact (shown in profile mode, not always during registration)
- Trade name (Nombre Fantasia) (text): Brand or trade name. Not shown during initial registration.
- First and last name (Nombre y Apellido) (two text fields): Contact first and last name. Shown when public prices are enabled.
Custom registration questions (dynamic)
Questions configured by the business admin in the configuration settings. They can be:
- Free text for open-ended answers.
- Single choice (select dropdown).
- Multiple choice (checkboxes).
Questions can be marked as required or optional by the admin. V2 questions support the required flag; legacy V1 questions are all required.
Validation
The registration button is disabled until ALL required fields are completed:
- Company name (Razon Social) must not be empty.
- Tax ID (CUIT/DNI) must not be empty.
- In Argentina: tax status (Condicion IVA) must be selected AND the CUIT must be validated by AFIP.
- Mobile phone must not be empty.
- All custom questions marked as required must be answered.
When fields are missing, a red validation error box lists what still needs to be completed.
