Store Settings

The Store Settings page is short on purpose. Everything here applies globally — across every group, every customer, every product. Group- and product-level overrides live in Pricing.

Hide prices for guests

When on, retail prices are hidden from anyone who isn’t signed in. Guests see Sign in for pricing in place of the price, and the Add to cart button is replaced with a Sign in link.

This is the right choice when:

• Your wholesale program is closed, and you don’t want random visitors to see any prices.
• Pricing is sensitive (MAP-restricted brands, distributor-only catalogs).
• Your retail and wholesale prices are the same and you only want approved buyers to purchase.

Leave it off if you also serve retail buyers from the same store — otherwise you’ll lose retail conversions.

Caution

This setting only affects what your theme shows. It does not affect the Shopify checkout, product API, or third-party integrations. If you need stricter price hiding (for example, hiding from your search results), you’ll need theme customisation on top.

Tax-exempt at checkout

When on, the app marks any customer with a wholesale-* tag as tax-exempt in Shopify. Their orders won’t include sales tax / VAT at checkout, regardless of their billing address.

Use this when you have proper tax documentation on file (resale certificates, VAT IDs) and your tax obligations don’t apply to wholesale buyers in your jurisdiction.

Caution

This is a tax-policy decision, not a UI toggle. Talk to your accountant before turning it on. If you’re unsure whether wholesale buyers in your region should be tax-exempt, leave this off and let Shopify handle tax normally.

Minimum order quantity (MOQ)

When on, every wholesale order must include at least N total items across the cart. The app blocks checkout below this number with a message telling the buyer how many more they need to add.

The MOQ is a single number (e.g. 12), and applies to every wholesale buyer the same way. There’s no per-group or per-product MOQ in v1 — for case-quantity buying you’ll typically use Volume Pricing to nudge buyers up to a sensible total instead.

Useful when:

• You have a flat fulfilment cost per order and a tiny order isn’t profitable.
• You want to discourage casual orders from large customers and push them toward planned buys.

Skip the MOQ entirely if you’re starting out — it’s the kind of constraint that’s easier to add later than to remove. Customers who hit it for the first time will email support.

Saving changes

The settings save when you click Save in the top-right action bar. You’ll see a toast confirming the save. The new values take effect:

• Hide prices — immediately, on the next page load for all visitors.
• Tax-exempt — on the next checkout for tagged buyers. Existing in-progress checkouts use the previous setting.
• MOQ — immediately, on the next checkout attempt.
