Wholesale Hub's Theme Setup tool installs the app onto an unpublished copy of your theme. This means that wholesale discounts won't show on your live theme until you publish your new wholesale theme and you'll see this banner in your app's dashboard:
Before you publish your new theme with Wholesale Hub installed, you can follow these steps and preview the theme to test your discounts.
💡 If you encounter issues with wholesale pricing display during testing, such as missing discounts, ensure your browser cache is cleared, and log out and back in before re-checking.
Test the theme before publishing it to your storefront
Step 1
Go to Online Store > Themes in your Shopify admin and look for the theme that includes Wholesale Hub in your theme library. Click on the button with the three dots, and then select Preview.
💡 The theme with Wholesale Hub installed will include the abbreviation "WC" in its title.
To ensure wholesale pricing displays correctly during testing, verify that each product has a valid SKU in Shopify and that Wholesale Hub has completed syncing. You can check your sync status in the dashboard of the app.
Additionally, assign customer tags and ensure they are associated with targeted collection items.
Step 2
In the preview of your theme, sign in as a test wholesale customer. To create a test wholesale customer, create a customer profile for yourself and add one of the wholesale tags you created in Wholesale Hub.
Step 3
Go to a collection you've targeted with your wholesale discount. Make sure the collection is targeted by the wholesale tag you've applied to your test account, and click on one of the products. On the collection page and product page you'll see the original retail price crossed out with the wholesale price next to it.
Step 4
Add the product to your cart. Wholesale discounts will show in the line item price and the cart total. If you have created Advanced Minimums or Volume Discounts rules you will see a notification on the cart page.
💡 Your theme must use a page cart in order for wholesale discounts to work.
If wholesale discounts do not display despite using a page cart, ensure that your wholesale customer tags are accurately entered and test the configuration under a tagged customer account using a theme preview.
Step 5
When you're ready to make your wholesale discounts available to your customers, select Publish from the Action menu on the theme with Wholesale Hub installed.
