A wholesale portal should let buyers mass-add lines by SKU paste or CSV instead of hunting the catalog one SKU at a time. Week one on Parcel Build is that first working version: paste or upload SKU and quantity, validate, and land the cart. You own the code. Flat monthly. See custom software for wholesalers. If mass add to cart by SKU paste or CSV in a wholesale portal is the gap, start a free 30-day build.
When is SKU paste or CSV mass-add better than catalog browsing in week one?
Week one can cover paste or upload of SKU and quantity lines, validation against known catalog and account rules, and a cart that lands under account pricing. Catalog browsing still helps discovery. Mass-add helps when the buyer already knows the SKUs and quantities from a spreadsheet or buying list.
On Parcel Build, week one is a first working version of that path. Flat monthly. You own the code.
Why retyping SKUs from a spreadsheet into search boxes creates wrong-variant orders
Buyers copy a SKU from a spreadsheet, paste it into search, pick a close match, and move to the next line. A wrong variant or unit of measure slips in. The order ships wrong. Inside sales spends time correcting lines that should have validated on add.
Mass-add validates lines before the cart is final. Unknown SKUs and bad quantities surface in one pass instead of one search at a time.
What stays out of month one
Defer EDI 850 as the primary path. Defer OCR handwritten PO capture as the primary path. Defer warehouse barcode packing. Month one is paste or upload SKU and quantity into a validated cart for known accounts.
FAQ
Is mass-add by SKU the same as reorder from order history?
No. Reorder from order history starts from a past order the buyer already placed. Mass-add by SKU paste or CSV starts from a list the buyer brings now, including new mixes of SKUs. They can sit together later. Week one can prove mass-add without cloning reorder as the primary path.
Does week one need CSV upload if paste-from-spreadsheet already works?
No. Week one can start with paste of SKU and quantity lines if that matches how buyers already work. CSV upload can wait until paste earns its keep, or ship beside paste when both are needed.
