Understanding Wholesale Pricing
Mix & Max Wholesale™ is a flexible wholesale ordering model designed to help individuals, organizations, and businesses place mixed-SKU orders without traditional restrictions. Instead of requiring product-specific minimums, this wholesale model allows shoppers to combine different products and designs within the same cart and still qualify for discounted pricing.
This article outlines how Mix & Max pricing works, how discounts are applied, and what to expect when placing an order.
How Mix & Max Wholesale™ Works
The platform's wholesale pricing is based on total units per order, not units per product or design. Every item in a shopper's cart contributes to their discount tier — even if each item is a different product type or design.
Key Principles
-
Any product mix counts: Apparel, drinkware, accessories, and other SKU types all contribute to the total unit count.
-
Any number of designs: You can mix multiple designs within the same order with no penalty to your discount.
-
One cart = one total: Discounts are calculated on the combined quantity across the entire cart.
Discounts Start at Just 4 Units
Wholesale discounts begin when your order reaches 4 total units, regardless of how those units are split across products or designs. For example:
-
1 hoodie + 2 tees + 1 tumbler = 4 units, which qualifies for discount on all items
-
4 units of the same product = also qualifies
-
10 units of all different products = qualifies for a higher tier
- Unit price breaks occur automatically at 4, 10, 24, 48, 72, and 144 units.
This flexibility makes it easier to increase cart sizes and give customers more value without requiring large, single-SKU purchases.
Automatic Discount Application
There is no need to enter any codes or select special pricing.
-
Discounts are applied automatically as soon as a cart reaches the qualifying unit threshold.
-
Pricing updates in real time so shoppers can see exactly how much is saved at each tier.
-
If quantity increases, the cart's discount adjusts accordingly.
Commission Is Still Included
Even though wholesale discounts apply, commission remains built into the pricing structure. This means:
-
You continue to earn on every item sold.
-
Your commission is calculated automatically based on the discounted unit price.
-
There’s no need to adjust markup or track separate pricing models.
Maximum Discounts at Higher Quantities
The more units in the order, the deeper the discount. Larger mixed-SKU orders unlock higher savings, with top-tier discounts applied at high-volume thresholds (e.g., 144 units).
This allows for:
-
Multi-item programs
-
Multi-design projects
-
Small team orders
-
Bundled product sets
-
Last-minute reorders
— all without compromising on price or flexibility.
Why Mix & Max Wholesale™ Supports Larger Cart Sizes
Shoppers often want variety — different products, different designs, or small quantities of multiple items. Traditional wholesale models discourage this. Mix & Max removes barriers by:
-
Allowing small quantities across multiple SKUs
-
Providing savings at low unit counts
-
Incentivizing higher order quantities through tiered discounts
This creates a smoother buying experience and encourages clients to build fuller carts.

Any mix of products and designs qualifies
