Before you get started with wholesale, there is some essential information you need to know so that you’re adequately prepared for what can be a successful additional income stream.
Ready to embark on wholesale but not sure where to start?
Whether you’re going to manage wholesale through printed documentation or via your online store, there is essential documentation and processes you will need to have prepared.
To put your best foot forward, and to protect yourself and your business, at a minimum you will need:
Terms and Conditions
Product Catalogue
Order Form (or Order System)
You can create three different documents or have one document which includes all of this data, it’s up to you.
You may also choose to manage everything through your online store, or via a third-party solution.
If you’re not sure where to start when creating these documents, then we’ve taken the guesswork out of the equation with our handy Wholesale for Makers trio of checklists.
Each checklist (a total of 21 pages) covers what you need to include in your Terms and Conditions at a minimum, advice on how to craft a Product Catalogue that retailers actually want to read, and the all-important Order Form information so you can secure those orders!

“I credit DBP for helping me get into my first Finders Keepers market.
The expertise provided by DBP when navigating the design market application process was invaluable.”
DBP helped me through my first Finders Keepers application every step of the way.
With their prior knowledge and experience of the Finders Keepers Markets, I felt at ease and actually excited to send off my application.
As a full-time designer and mum of three children, I don’t have a lot of time to stop and think about my business besides fulfilling orders and building stock for design markets.
After each session with DBP, I feel I have a clearer direction.
