How to make a website for a wholesale business
A shopkeeper looking for a new wholesaler wants to know what you supply, the minimum order, whether you give credit to regular shops, and if you deliver to their town. A plain website answers that, and sends them to your WhatsApp to ask for the current rate list.

What people look for on a wholesale business website
- The goods you supply, by category, and the pack sizes you sell in: cartons, bags, dozens or bundles
- The minimum order quantity or value, and whether it changes for new shops
- How to get the current rate list, since rates change too often to print on a website
- Delivery: your own tempo to nearby towns, transport booking for farther ones, and the charges
- Payment terms: cash, UPI, bank transfer, and whether regular shops get credit days
- The godown address, loading timings and whether a tempo or truck can reach the gate
- GST registration, if you have one, so shops know they can get a proper bill
The pages your website needs
- Home: What you supply and to whom (kirana shops, hotels, retailers), minimum order and a WhatsApp button to ask for the rate list
- What we supply: Each category with pack sizes and the kinds of items you keep, without daily rates
- How to order: Minimum order, rate list on WhatsApp, payment terms, credit for regular shops and order cut-off times
- Delivery: Towns and areas you deliver to, delivery days, transport booking for far orders and charges
- Godown and contact: Godown address, loading timings, truck access, phone, WhatsApp and a Google Maps button
Sample words for your home page
Wholesale plastic and household goods for shops in Rajkot
Buckets, containers, kitchen racks and cleaning items by the carton. Minimum order ₹10,000. Ask for today's rate list on WhatsApp.
Patel Traders has supplied shops across Saurashtra since 2003 from our godown near the industrial area gate. We send the rate list on WhatsApp every Monday, load the same day for orders before 2 PM, and give regular shops 15 days' credit after their first three orders.
Use these as a starting point and write them in your own words: AppCub can rewrite them for you in the chat.
How to make it with AppCub, step by step
- Decide the pages. Most wholesale business websites need these pages: Home, What we supply, How to order, Delivery, Godown and contact.
- Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, with your own name, address, prices and timings.
- Check the plan. AppCub lists the pages and what goes on each. Ask for changes until it is right; seeing the plan is free.
- Add your details and photos. Replace every sample with your real details, attach your own photos, and check each page on the phone and computer preview.
- Publish and share. Choose your address (your-name.sites.appcub.ai), put the website live and share the link on WhatsApp.
Copy this request, change the details to match your wholesale business, and paste it into AppCub:
Make a website for my wholesale business, Patel Traders, with a godown near the industrial area gate in Rajkot.

Minimum order ₹10,000. Rate list on WhatsApp 98XXXXXXXX. Own tempo to Rajkot, Morbi and Gondal on Tuesdays and Fridays; other towns by transport. Loading 9 AM to 6 PM, Sunday closed. Navy blue and yellow colours.
Tips for a wholesale business website
- Don't put daily rates on the website; say 'rate list on WhatsApp' and send the latest one when a shop asks.
- Show your GST number if you have one; many shops won't buy without a proper bill.
- Photograph the godown with stacked cartons and the loading gate; it tells a new shop you are a real, working business.
- Write the minimum order and the order cut-off time plainly, so shops don't waste a call.
- Put your exact godown pin on Google Maps; drivers and shopkeepers from other towns will use it.
What it costs
- Describing your website and seeing AppCub’s plan for it is free.
- Making it and changing it in chat uses credits for the work done: start with the 2-day trial for ₹99 (150 credits) or the one-time App Pack for ₹499 (200 credits, no autopay). Starter is ₹1,599 a month for 700 credits.
- Publishing is free for an account that has paid AppCub once, at your-name.sites.appcub.ai.
- Work that fails or is rolled back costs no credits.
Good to know
- Shops can't see rates, place an order or pay on the website; they message you on WhatsApp. For a rate list that regular shops order from, with their dues, a wholesale app is the better fit.
- The pages are written in English. You can talk to AppCub in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
- A website has no forms, bookings, payments or logins: visitors reach you on WhatsApp, by phone or on Google Maps.
- Every page carries a small “Made with AppCub” badge and a “Report this site” link.
Questions
Should a wholesale website show prices?
Usually not, because wholesale rates change often. Show categories and pack sizes, and send the current rate list on WhatsApp when a shop asks.
Can shops place orders on my wholesale website?
No. The website has no cart or payment; shops send their order on WhatsApp or call. A wholesale app can take orders from a rate list.
Should I show my minimum order quantity?
Yes. Put it on the home page and the how-to-order page, so only shops that can meet it contact you.
Can I list the towns I deliver to?
Yes. Make a delivery page with the towns, delivery days and how far orders are sent by transport.
Can retail customers buy from me through the website?
If you sell only to shops, say so on the home page so families don't call for a single item.
Will shopkeepers from other towns find my godown online?
The pages are made so Google can read them, with your address in the format search engines use. Where they appear is Google's decision; a free Google Business Profile puts the godown on Maps.
