Buyers often order by size runs, colourways, prepacks, case packs, and seasonal drops.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You do not need Shopify Plus to take wholesale clothing orders. Shopify now supports B2B features on Basic, Grow, Advanced, and Plus, but plan limits still matter. Basic, Grow, and Advanced support up to 3 active B2B market catalogs, while Plus supports unlimited B2B market catalogs and direct company catalog assignment.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For apparel stores, the most important workflow is: gated catalog, wholesale pricing, MOQs, size-grid ordering, pre-orders, payment terms, and clear shipping\/returns.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wholesale Pricing Discount B2B can handle customer-specific pricing, quantity breaks, order minimums, net terms, Shopify Markets, VAT\/tax controls, multi-currency, and POS wholesale pricing. It is Built for Shopify, starts at $24.99\/month, and has a 4.8 rating from 546 reviews.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>WSH Order Form &amp; ReOrder is especially useful for clothing stores because buyers can order many sizes, colors, and variants from one page instead of opening each product page. It is Built for Shopify and has a 4.9 rating from 116 reviews.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You do not need Shopify Plus to take wholesale orders for a clothing store. But you do need a setup that matches how apparel buyers actually buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide shows how to take wholesale clothing orders on Shopify without Shopify Plus. We\u2019ll cover gated catalogs, wholesale pricing, size-run ordering, MOQs, prepacks, pre-orders, net terms, shipping, tax, and returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='why-apparel-wholesale-is-different-and-what-to-plan-for'  id=\"boomdevs_1\" id=\"0-why-apparel-wholesale-is-different-and-what-to-plan-for-\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why apparel wholesale is different (and what to plan for)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selling apparel wholesale or B2B online requires complex setups due to the diversity of products and their color and size subcategories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Variants everywhere:<\/strong> sizes (XS\u20133XL), colorways, inseams, fits.
