Websites for food wholesalers and trade suppliers
A website for wholesalers, built to sell to the trade. Buyers see your whole range, check when you can deliver and send you an order enquiry at any hour, without having to call first.
Not a wholesaler? We build for every kind of business, so tell us what you need.
What a wholesaler needs from its website
- The whole range, easy to search
- Trade buyers know what they want. They need to find it fast by category or by name.
- Pack sizes on every product
- Buyers order by the case, the box or the tray, so every product page should say what they are getting.
- A way to order without a public price list
- If you quote prices on enquiry, the site has to let buyers put an order together without a checkout.
- Delivery answers before the first call
- Buyers want to know if you deliver to them, on which day, and the cut-off for ordering.
- A simple way to open an account
- New customers should be able to apply for a trade account online.
- A look as professional as the business
- Buyers judge a supplier by its website. A dated site undersells a serious operation.
What we build for wholesalers
Gyros City Wholesalers supplies takeaways, restaurants, cafes and shops, and works with businesses only. Their old website looked dated and had few of the tools trade buyers need. We designed and built the whole website around the catalogue, with search, pack sizes, an enquiry list, a delivery checker and online trade accounts.
-
A catalogue built around your range
With categories and search. Gyros City Wholesalers’ products sit in 17 categories.
-
Product pages with pack sizes
As on every Gyros City product page.
-
An enquiry list in place of a basket
Buyers add products, set quantities and send the list. Gyros City quotes prices on enquiry, so it takes the place of a checkout.
-
A delivery checker
A buyer types a postcode or town and sees the weekly route and the order cut-off.
-
Trade account applications online
So new customers can sign up without a phone call.
-
Phone, WhatsApp and email
So buyers can reach the team the way they prefer, as on the Gyros City site.
-
A B2B ordering portal
Behind a login, where each trade customer has their own account and trade pricing, and can reorder past orders and check out. We scope it with you first.
With categories and search. Gyros City Wholesalers’ products sit in 17 categories.
Questions owners ask
Do I have to show my prices online?
No. If you quote on enquiry, the website can work that way. For Gyros City Wholesalers, buyers add products to an enquiry list, set quantities and send it, and the team replies with prices. If you do want prices or a full checkout for logged-in customers, we plan that with you in the scope.
What is the difference between a trade website and a B2B ordering portal?
A trade website shows your range to everyone and takes enquiries. A B2B ordering portal sits behind a login, so each customer sees their own account and can order again quickly. Some wholesalers start with the first and add the second later. Our guide on B2B ordering portals explains when you need one.
Can the website show where and when we deliver?
Yes. We built a delivery checker for Gyros City Wholesalers: a buyer enters a postcode or town and sees the weekly route and the 3pm cut-off. Yours would follow your own routes and cut-off.
Can it connect to the systems we already use?
Often, yes. We build ordering into the site, and connect existing platforms where the business already uses one. What can be connected depends on the systems you run, so we check that before the scope is agreed.
How do we get a price for the website?
We quote after a conversation about your business. You then get a written scope covering what will be built, the cost, how it is paid and the timeline, before any work starts.
Tell us how your business sells to the trade. We usually reply within 24 hours.
