Can I automate wholesale discount approvals?

As a growing e-commerce business with wholesale customers, I'm struggling to manage manual discount approval processes. Currently, our team spends hours reviewing wholesale account applications, verifying credentials, and manually setting up custom pricing tiers. We need a scalable solution that can automate wholesale discount approvals while maintaining control over who receives special pricing and ensuring our margins remain protected. What strategies and technologies can help streamline this complex process?

The short answer

Growth Suite does not include a wholesale approval workflow - it is designed for direct-to-consumer discount campaigns. For B2B wholesale discount automation, combine Growth Suite customer segment targeting (using Shopify customer tags) with a wholesale app or custom Shopify logic for approval workflows.
