Short answer: Wholesalers need to send targeted, priced product lists over WhatsApp and get orders back cleanly. ScanPix lets buyers order straight from the catalogue link — with quantity-tier pricing and price-on-request — so the order lands in your WhatsApp and Orders inbox, ready to turn into a one-tap quotation.
What matters for distribution
- Targeted lists. Send the exact products and prices a buyer asks for, not a 200-item dump.
- WhatsApp-first. Buyers live on WhatsApp — sharing should be a link or PDF, instantly.
- Wholesale pricing that fits. Quantity-tier rates and a per-catalogue price mode — show, hide, or price-on-request — so trade rates don't leak to walk-ins.
- Orders back from the link. Buyers should assemble the order themselves and send it complete, not leave you retyping it out of a chat thread.
- Always-current pricing. Update rates once; the shared list is the current one.
Where ScanPix fits
ScanPix is built for send-by-need distribution: keep your full range in catalogues, share a curated, priced selection with each buyer over WhatsApp, and let them order straight from the link. The order — with the right quantity-tier rates already applied — arrives in your Orders inbox and as a ready-written WhatsApp message, and one tap turns it into a branded quotation on your letterhead. That's exactly the wholesale & distribution workflow, and it suits distributors across textiles, pharma and general trade.
ScanPix isn't a payment gateway and doesn't do GST invoicing — a quotation is a priced proposal, not a tax invoice, so keep your billing software for that.
Category-level guidance based on publicly available information (July 2026). Tools change — check current details before deciding. ScanPix doesn't claim feature-by-feature equivalence; the point is fit for wholesale catalogue workflows.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best catalogue app for wholesalers?
One that lets you send targeted, priced lists over WhatsApp with quantity-tier rates, and get orders back from the link. ScanPix does this — buyers order from the catalogue, the order lands in your WhatsApp and Orders inbox, and one tap makes a quotation.
Can I set wholesale prices and hide them from walk-ins?
Yes. Each catalogue has its own price mode — show, hide, or 'price on request' — and you can set quantity-tier pricing, so trade buyers get the right rate as they build the order without exposing wholesale rates to everyone.
How do orders come back to me?
The buyer picks products and quantities in the catalogue link and sends the order with just their name and phone number. It arrives as a ready-written WhatsApp message and in your Orders inbox, where one tap turns it into a branded quotation.
