Retail sells one unit at a time; wholesale sells trust in volume. Online, the same storefront can serve both — if you design the order, the price and the payment differently.
Set three tiers: single-unit price, 10+ price, 50+ price — quantity offers make the math obvious without negotiation by message. A minimum order amount protects you from handling three items as "wholesale".
Cash on delivery is perfect for 2,900 DZD parcels and dangerous for 50,000 DZD pallets. For large orders, ask for a deposit or prepaid CCP/Edahabia transfer, with the balance on delivery. Serious buyers pay deposits; that is also how you filter them.
Bulk parcels are heavier and often move by agreement — delivery pricing per wilaya still works, but check carrier limits and agree on next-day trucking for pallets. Pickup from your warehouse is the cleanest option for regulars.
On DzStore, quantity offers, minimum amounts and prepaid options run through the same dashboard as retail orders — one system, two sales motions. Open your free store and add a wholesale tier before your first reseller asks.
