Understanding Beventi Wholesale
Beventi Wholesale lets authors and vendors offer products to approved bookstores at wholesale terms.
On Beventi Wholesale, sellers can create bookstore-facing listings, set wholesale prices and order rules, control buyer access, manage shipping, receive wholesale orders, and respond to bookstores about order questions.
How Wholesale works for sellers
Create a wholesale listing from products or bundles already in your Beventi catalog.
Choose whether the listing is your main marketplace catalog or a private share listing.
Add wholesale pricing, stock, quantity rules, pack sizes, lead times, preorder details, and embargo dates where needed.
Add seller terms, a refund policy, delivery instructions, and your shipping setup.
Publish the listing when all blockers are resolved.
Share the listing, invite bookstores, or approve access requests if the listing is invite-only.
Manage orders, shipping updates, tracking, and bookstore messages from Wholesale.
Who can buy from your wholesale listings
Wholesale purchasing is for approved bookstore buyers. A customer must have an approved bookstore profile before they can place a wholesale order.
Listing access can also affect what a bookstore can see or buy. Public marketplace listings can be discoverable by approved wholesale buyers according to your access settings. Invite-only or private share listings can be set to require a direct invite or approved access request before the bookstore can view pricing or order.

Wholesale versus direct sales
Wholesale is designed for bookstore purchasing. Wholesale listings allow you to set bookstore-only pricing, quantity tiers, minimum order quantities, pack sizes, access controls, wholesale-specific seller terms, and shipping rules built for business buyers.
Direct sales are reader-facing retail forms. Use Direct Sales when you want readers or general customers to buy directly from you at retail terms.
Seller responsibilities
Sellers are responsible for keeping listings accurate, honoring your published terms, fulfilling orders, updating shipping statuses, responding to bookstore messages, and handling refund, cancellation, replacement, or dispute questions according to your policies.
