A wholesale portal should let buyers save named carts or draft orders and come back to edit and submit under their account. Week one on Parcel Build is that first working version: persist drafts for known accounts so large orders are not lost in a browser session. You own the code. Flat monthly. See custom software for wholesalers. If saved carts and draft orders for wholesale buyers is the gap, start a free 30-day build.
Which saved-cart behaviors belong in week one (and which collaboration features can wait)?
Week one can cover named personal drafts the signed-in buyer can reopen, edit, and submit. Standing-order schedules, multi-location ship-to matrices, and full company approval graphs can wait until that path earns its keep.
On Parcel Build, week one is a first working version of that path. Flat monthly. You own the code.
Why browser carts and email drafts create abandoned wholesale orders and rekey work
A large cart lives only in the browser tab. The buyer closes the laptop. The lines are gone. Someone pastes SKUs into an email draft and inside sales rekeys the order. Abandoned wholesale orders and rekey work both come from drafts that never persisted on the account.
Named saved carts keep the working order under the buyer until they are ready to submit.
What stays out of month one
Defer standing-order schedules as the primary job. Defer multi-location ship-to matrices as the primary job. Defer full company approval graphs as the primary job. Month one is personal named drafts the buyer can reopen and submit for known accounts.
FAQ
Is a saved cart the same as a standing order?
No. A saved cart is a named draft the buyer returns to finish. A standing order is a repeating schedule. They can sit together later. Week one can prove named drafts without cloning standing-order automation as the primary path.
Does week one need shared company carts with full approval chains, or is personal named drafts enough to start?
Personal named drafts are enough to start. Week one can persist drafts for the signed-in buyer. Shared company carts and full approval chains can wait until that path earns its keep.
