What Is a B2B Wholesale Portal for Leather Footwear?

A B2B wholesale portal for leather footwear is a private, authenticated platform where manufacturers show buyers digital line sheets — filterable product catalogs with specs, MOQs, and pricing tiers. It replaces PDF catalogs and WhatsApp quote chains with structured pre-order workflows, deposit collection, and private-label customization tools. Both sides get a single source of truth for seasonal buying, instead of chasing each other across three different apps.

Your Current Site May Be a Liability

Common gaps we find in nearly every audit.

Buyers request quotes over WhatsApp and email with no structured data
Risk: Orders get lost, pricing errors pile up, and your team burns 60% of its time on back-and-forth instead of actually selling.
PDF line sheets are outdated before the season even starts
Risk: Buyers see discontinued styles, place orders on unavailable SKUs, and start wondering whether your catalog is worth trusting.
No deposit or pre-order system means production starts on verbal commitments
Risk: When orders get canceled after leather is cut, you're left holding thousands in wasted material and labor — with nothing to show for it.
Private-label requests get handled manually, no version control anywhere
Risk: Wrong logos on soles, incorrect colorways on uppers, expensive production reruns. All of it eats directly into your margins.
No buyer authentication means your full catalog is either completely public or hidden behind a login wall with no tiering
Risk: Competitors see your pricing, or legitimate buyers leave because they can't browse before requesting access.
Inventory and availability live in spreadsheets spread across factories
Risk: You oversell popular styles, undersell slow movers, and have zero real visibility into what's actually in production.

How We Build This Right

Every safeguard, built in from Day 1.

Digital Line Sheet Engine

Filterable, image-rich catalogs organized by season, style, material, and size range. Buyers browse 2,000+ SKUs with leather grain closeups, sole details, and EU/US sizing — no PDFs, no downloading anything.

Pre-Order & Deposit Collection

Stripe-powered deposit workflows lock SKUs and trigger production signals. Deposit percentages are configurable per buyer tier, with automatic balance invoicing before shipment goes out.

Private Label Customization

Buyers upload logos, select colorways, and specify branding placement through a guided wizard. Every revision gets versioned so production teams always work from approved specs — not the one buried in an email from three weeks ago.

Tiered Buyer Access

Public browsing for discovery, gated pricing for approved buyers, VIP access for volume accounts. Each tier sees different MOQs, pricing, and exclusive collections.

Real-Time Inventory Sync

Live factory inventory feeds show real availability per style, size, and colorway. Automatic status updates prevent overselling and give buyers the confidence to actually commit.

WhatsApp & CRM Integration

Structured quote requests flow into your CRM with full product context. WhatsApp Business API sends order confirmations and shipping updates — your team stops copying and pasting things manually.

What We Build

Purpose-built features for your industry.

Seasonal Collection Management

Publish, archive, and schedule collections by season with one click. Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter catalogs managed independently.

Multi-Currency Pricing

Display wholesale pricing in USD, EUR, TRY, or INR with automatic conversion and buyer-specific price lists.

Bulk Order Sheets

Buyers build orders across multiple styles in a spreadsheet-like interface, selecting sizes and quantities inline without navigating away from what they're looking at.

High-Resolution Image Zoom

Cloudinary-powered image delivery with pinch-to-zoom on leather grain, stitching details, and sole construction. Those details matter when buyers are making decisions without ever touching the product.

MOQ & Volume Break Rules

Set minimum order quantities per style and automatic price breaks at volume thresholds. The platform enforces the rules so your sales team doesn't have to have that conversation every time.

Export Documentation

Generate pro-forma invoices, packing lists, and origin certificates directly from confirmed orders, pre-filled with factory and buyer details.

Our Development Process

From discovery to launch. Quality at every step.

01

Catalog & Workflow Audit

Week 1

We map your current line sheet format, buyer communication flow, and order pipeline. We figure out which manual steps become automated platform features and define your buyer tier structure before anything gets built.

02

Platform Architecture & Design

Weeks 2–3

We design the catalog browsing experience, pre-order flow, and admin dashboard. You review interactive prototypes showing exactly how buyers will filter, select, and commit to orders — no surprises later.

03

Build & Integrate

Weeks 4–7

Next.js frontend with Supabase backend. Stripe for deposits, Cloudinary for product images, WhatsApp Business API for notifications. Your existing inventory feed gets a structured API endpoint.

04

Data Migration & Testing

Week 8

We import your existing product catalog — styles, specs, images, pricing tiers. Buyer acceptance testing runs with 3-5 real wholesale accounts to validate the ordering flow end-to-end, with actual people placing actual orders.

05

Launch & Optimize

Week 9+

Go live with your current season's collection. 30 days of post-launch support covers buyer onboarding issues, catalog adjustments, and performance monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

A digital line sheet is a live, filterable product catalog where buyers search by style, material, size range, and availability in real time. Unlike PDFs, it updates the moment you add styles or adjust pricing. Buyers build orders directly from the catalog instead of emailing you a list of style numbers they copied from a static file.
Yes. The pre-order engine collects configurable deposits via Stripe — typically 30-50% of order value. Once a deposit clears, the SKU locks and your production team gets notified. Balance invoicing triggers automatically before shipment. Every transaction has a full audit history on both sides.
Buyers use a guided wizard to upload logos, select colorways, specify placement, and add notes. Each revision creates a versioned record so your production team always works from the latest approved spec — no more hunting through email threads for the right logo file or color code.
Yes. The tiered access system supports public browsing for discovery, standard wholesale pricing for approved buyers, and VIP pricing with exclusive collections for volume accounts. Each tier is configurable — you control MOQs, price lists, and which seasonal collections each buyer group can actually see.
A typical build runs 8-9 weeks from audit to launch. That covers catalog architecture, the pre-order engine, payment integration, product data migration, and buyer testing. Complex private-label workflows or multi-factory inventory sync can add 2-3 weeks. You get a fixed timeline before we touch anything.
Yes. We integrate the WhatsApp Business API so order confirmations, shipping updates, and quote responses send automatically with full product context. Your sales team stops copying style numbers into chat — the platform sends structured notifications triggered by order events in the portal.
