A careful Candid Wholesale and Shopify build
Shopify Candid Wholesale Integration, That Survives Real Orders
A Shopify Candid Wholesale integration is native for products and stock only: Candid imports product data and can sync inventory with DTC locations, buyers can push purchased items to their Shopify store, and Candid's help centre says orders are not sent to Shopify automatically. An old Zapier template creates orders unofficially. A $179 Pro plan is reported. We set up, test and hand over, from $690.

Our track record
Over 450 Stores Built Since 2015. Here Is What That Means for Your Candid Wholesale Link.
Long experience with hundreds of Shopify stores shows up in small decisions: which id to use as the key, when to retry, which side wins a conflict. Those decisions keep a commerce or point-of-sale platform integration quiet and reliable.

Problems solved
Shopify Candid Wholesale Integration: Six Faults We Fix First
Wholesale links fail on order sync and stock. These are the six faults we fix.
The problem
Orders expected in Shopify
The outcome
They do not arrive. We set expectations.
The problem
Stock double-counted
The outcome
DTC and wholesale disagree. We set allocation.
The problem
Product details drift
The outcome
Listings differ. We choose one source.
The problem
Unofficial Zap breaks
The outcome
Reports go wrong. We weigh the risk.
The problem
Plan too low
The outcome
Inventory sync is locked. We check first.
The problem
No handover
The outcome
Setup is unwritten, so the next change starts from guesswork. We write down the triggers, fields and tests.

How We Build Your Candid Wholesale Integration, Step by Step
A fixed order of work keeps the project predictable. You know what happens next at every point.
- 1
Brief and scope
We start with questions: what you sell, how Candid Wholesale fits your day and which events matter. Reading through your orders and products shows where the flow begins and what it must never touch.
- 2
Access and connection
You grant limited access to Shopify and Candid Wholesale through an API key or an app installation. Before building, we read live data to prove both connections.
- 3
Map and rule
Together we map SKU, price, stock and customer email, decide which system wins each clash and write down how blanks behave.
- 4
Build in a copy
A copy comes first: test data only, a visible plan and, where helpful, a recorded run.
- 5
Test on real cases
The tests cover a new product, an in-store sale and a returning customer, along with refunds and edits, and we check each result against Shopify.
- 6
Go live and hand over
When you say go, the flow goes live. We watch the first runs and leave you notes, a diagram and a recorded walkthrough.

Inside every project
Six Safeguards Built Into Every Candid Wholesale Integration
None of these costs extra. They are simply how we work.
Build in a copy, never live
We never build on live data: the flow is tested on test records and your real orders and products wait for your approval.
Plain scope, two revision rounds
You see the price before paying. Changes within scope go through two structured rounds, so a tweak never becomes an hourly invoice.
Secrets kept in a vault
Keys and tokens live in a secure vault, not in notes, spreadsheets or chat.
Narrow access, in your name
We ask for the least access that works, through an API key or an app installation, and every account stays under your ownership.
A written definition of done
We call it complete when a new product, an in-store sale and a returning customer work as agreed and the log proves it.
Counts compared, not assumed
After any load we compare counts with the source, so missing or doubled records are caught early.
Interactive price calculator
Price Your Shopify Candid Wholesale Integration
Pick a package, answer three short questions and add any extras. Your total and delivery window update as you click, with nothing hidden until checkout.
Request a custom quote

Why Store Design Expert
What You Get From Us That a Template Does Not
Templates cover the happy path. We cover the rest, and we put the result in writing.
Tested on your real cases
We check against your own cases, like a new product, an in-store sale and a returning customer.
Experience since 2015
We have launched more than 450 Shopify stores since 2015 and met most of the quirks that trip up integrations.
A price you can plan around
You see the cost and extra days for each choice in the calculator. Any Candid Wholesale subscription is billed by Candid Wholesale, so check what it charges today.
Notes a colleague can follow
Our handover records what moves where and which settings were chosen, so a future developer will not have to guess.
A direct line to the builder
Ask the person who built it. Questions about triggers or fields get a direct reply.
We live inside Shopify
Daily work on orders, refunds and metafields gives us Shopify depth that Candid Wholesale menus alone do not.
What we need to get started
What to Prepare Before We Start Your Candid Wholesale Integration
The list is short. Most owners have everything ready in a day.
Approve a collaborator request
If the store is live, send us its address and approve our request. Ownership stays with you, our role is limited, and removal takes one click.
Starting from nothing? We build first
We can assemble the store in our own Shopify Partner account, connect Candid Wholesale there, then hand the whole store over by ownership transfer. You pick a Shopify plan only at the end.
Or share a staff login
Sharing a staff login is possible. The collaborator route is safer, though: one click removes it and no password is passed around.
Your Candid Wholesale access
You can create the account and invite us, or we can create it with your email. In both cases you hold the owner role, and we connect using an API key or an app installation.
Sample records
Share a few typical records from both tools, or point us to them. Real examples reveal how your data is really structured.
A decision-maker
We need one person to approve the plan and the test, plus a rule for what wins when Candid Wholesale and Shopify clash.
Your Shopify owner password and card details never reach us. Changes are made in a copy, and we note every setting we touch.
