Candid Wholesale is a good fit for a consumer brand that sells to boutiques and independent shops and wants to stop taking orders by email and spreadsheet. The storefront can be embedded in your existing site or hosted on Candid, and buyers can build orders with you, message, reorder, track shipments and pay online. Every plan includes multiple price lists and catalogs, order minimums, a CRM, advanced reporting and inventory sync with Shopify, Squarespace or WooCommerce. Pro costs $179 per month billed annually, or $219 monthly, for 1 user and up to $1.5M in yearly order volume. Complete at $599 adds 5 users, sales rep management, multiple currencies and preferred payment rates. Card payments on Pro cost 2.9% + 30¢ and ACH 1.0% + 30¢, so add those to the plan fee. Candid is not designed for distributors with ERP-driven contract pricing; Sana or OroCommerce fit that better.
