PRICING AUDIT · SHOPIFY WHOLESALE · OPEN CASE

Your buyer paid $24.00 for a $14.40 item.
Nobody told you.

Wholesale pricing on Shopify fails silently — at checkout, after theme updates, in second currencies. The Wholesale PriceGuard Kit is a repeatable audit system that helps you catch wrong prices before your buyers do.

EXHIBIT ATHE FAILURE RECORD

The same pricing failures recur
across leading wholesale apps.

We analyzed 76 recent one-to-three-star reviews across 10 top-reviewed Shopify B2B and wholesale apps, as part of a broader 203-review audit across 30 wholesale, tax, and shipping apps (2024–2026). The apps change. The failure modes don't. From the record:

REFSEVERITYDOCUMENTED FAILURECOST
APR-2025CRITICAL

Cart quantities changing on their own, pricing wrong at checkout. “…for going on 10 days.”

10 DAYS OF ORDERS
JUN-2025CRITICAL

Wholesale discount applied “only on the most recent item added to the cart.” Every other line charged full price.

OVERCHARGED BUYERS
MAY-2026CRITICAL

Pricing app's theme code broke the storefront. “We had to build our theme again from scratch.”

FULL THEME REBUILD
JUN-2026CRITICAL

Wholesale prices uploaded wrong; buyer saw shifting prices. “We missed a client because of them.” The owner had put €1,000 plus $249 into the wholesale setup.

THE INSTRUMENTWHAT YOU DOWNLOAD

One protected workbook.
Logged mismatches never count as clean passes.

Not a PDF of tips. A working QA system: you enter what your store should charge and what it did charge — variances and verdicts compute themselves, and a test marked Pass over a logged mismatch is counted as a conflict, never a clean result.

Q&ASTRAIGHT ANSWERS
Will this work with my wholesale app?

Yes. The kit tests outcomes — what your buyer actually sees and gets charged — not any specific app's settings. Customer tags, metafields, quantity breaks, Shopify Markets, or a third-party pricing app: all covered, and it stays useful if you switch apps.

Is this an app I install?

No. It's a downloadable, protected Excel workbook plus guides. Nothing touches your store — no permissions, no code in your theme. The automatic app version is on the roadmap above.

Who is it for?

Shopify merchants running wholesale or B2B pricing, and the operators who manage those stores. If your buyers see different prices than retail visitors, this is for you.

What is it NOT?

Not store setup, not custom theme work, not done-for-you audits — and it can't promise your app will never fail. It gives you a repeatable way to find problems before buyers do, when you run the recommended checks.

How is it delivered?

Instant download after checkout, plus an email with your files and a 15-minute quick start. Payments, delivery, and taxes are handled by Lemon Squeezy.

What do I need to run it?

Microsoft Excel (desktop or Microsoft 365) is recommended — that's where sheet protection, dropdowns, and conflict flags all work as designed. The workbook opens in Google Sheets and Numbers, but cell protection may not carry over, so treat those as view/edit-at-your-own-risk.

What if it's not for me?

14-day satisfaction policy. Email within 14 days of purchase and we'll make it right.
