Trade ordering
Trade customers order online.
It goes on their account.
Give pubs, caravan parks, farms and sites their own place to order. They sign in, see the prices you agreed and choose Pay by invoice. No card needed. The order comes into Bottle and is invoiced on their usual terms.
- Your website stays as it isthamesidegas.co.uk
- Trade customers order heretrade.thamesidegas.co.uk
Their own prices
Agreed rates, price lists and quantity prices show as soon as they sign in.
Straight into Bottle
The order arrives ready to plan onto a round. Nobody types it in.
Keep your website
You don’t have to
move your shop.
Keep selling to the public on WooCommerce or Shopify. Set Bottle Shop to Trade customers only and give it its own address. Your products and prices stay hidden until a trade customer signs in, and search engines leave it alone.
Add a link such as “Trade customers: order here” to your website and you are done. Paid orders from your WooCommerce or Shopify shop can come into Bottle too, so every delivery is planned in one place.
- Your website
- Your card payments
- Your domain
Pay on account
Their prices.
Their terms.
Signed in, a trade customer sees their agreed prices and any quantity prices, without VAT. You choose which products are for trade only.
At checkout they choose Pay by invoice and add their own reference or PO number. There is nothing to pay now. The order is invoiced like any other, on their usual payment terms. If you take cards online, they can pay by card instead.
Pay by invoice is turned off while a customer has an overdue invoice, and they are asked to pay by card or call you. To stop their orders altogether while any invoice is unpaid, turn on Block new orders on the customer.
- Pay by invoice
- PO number
- Or pay by card
Trade accounts
You decide
who gets an account.
A business applies from your shop with its name, phone and VAT number. You approve it in Bottle as a new trade customer, or join it to a customer you already deliver to. Set their payment terms as you approve. Decline with a reason and they are told.
Once approved, they get an email with their trade prices, and any colleagues they named are invited.
People on the account
The right people
can order.
Give each person a role. A Manager orders, sees invoices and invites colleagues. A Buyer orders only. Accounts sees invoices and cannot order.
One sign-in can order for several sites, and is asked which one each order is for. For a computer behind the bar, they can set an order PIN that is asked for before every order on account.
In their language
13 languages,
one button away.
The trade sign-in page shows every language as a large button, so a new customer picks theirs before reading anything else. The shop, checkout and their emails follow. Your own product names and pages stay as you wrote them.
English, Polish, Romanian, Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Arabic, Chinese, Spanish, French and German.
