SmartTrade Pro is coming to the Shopify App Store soon — it will work on all paid Shopify plans (Basic, Shopify, Advanced, and Plus). Once installed:
That's it. Tagged customers will automatically receive their wholesale discount at checkout — no discount codes needed.
SmartTrade Pro works with all paid Shopify plans: Basic, Shopify, Advanced, and Plus. You do not need Shopify Plus for wholesale pricing. The app uses Shopify Functions which are available on all paid plans.
No. That's the main benefit of SmartTrade Pro over manual discount codes. Discounts are applied automatically at checkout based on customer tags. Your wholesale customers simply log in and shop — their trade pricing appears on product pages and is applied at checkout without any code entry.
Most merchants are up and running in under 5 minutes. Install the app, set your discount percentage, tag a customer, and test at checkout. No developer needed, no theme code to edit, no complex configuration.
Standard ($25/month) gives you a single global discount percentage that applies to all tagged trade customers. It includes the trade registration form, analytics dashboard, and email support.
Premium ($49/month) adds everything you need for a more sophisticated wholesale operation:
No. SmartTrade Pro charges a flat monthly fee with no per-order charges, no commission on sales, and no hidden fees. Whether you process 10 wholesale orders or 10,000, the price stays the same.
Yes. All new users get a 14-day free trial with full access to all features. No credit card is required to start the trial. You can try everything — including Premium features — before being charged.
Shopify Plus starts at $2,300/month and is designed for enterprise businesses. SmartTrade Pro starts at $25/month and provides automatic wholesale discounts, tiered pricing, and per-product overrides on any paid Shopify plan. For most small and medium businesses, SmartTrade Pro delivers the wholesale features you need at a fraction of the cost.
Yes, with SmartTrade Pro Premium. You can create unlimited discount tiers — for example, Gold (25% off), Silver (20% off), and Bronze (15% off). Each tier gets its own customer tag, and customers are automatically matched to their tier's discount at checkout.
Yes, with the Premium plan. On the Products page in SmartTrade Pro, toggle "Exclude from all trade discounts" for any product. You can also set custom discount percentages per product per tier — so Gold customers might get 25% off most items but only 10% off low-margin products.
Yes. SmartTrade Pro Premium supports per-variant overrides. If a product has variants (size, colour, etc.), you can set different wholesale discount percentages for each variant independently. This is useful when certain sizes or configurations have different margins.
When a trade customer checks out, SmartTrade Pro follows this priority order:
This gives you fine-grained control while keeping the default simple.
Yes. SmartTrade Pro includes a built-in trade registration form that embeds directly into your Shopify storefront via the App Embed. Potential wholesale customers fill out the form with their company details, and you receive the application in your SmartTrade Pro dashboard for approval.
Yes, for UK businesses. When a customer submits a trade application with a VAT number, SmartTrade Pro validates it in real time with HMRC and displays the registered company name. Approved customers with valid VAT numbers are automatically marked as tax exempt in Shopify.
When you click Approve, SmartTrade Pro automatically:
The customer can start ordering at their trade price immediately.
Yes, with SmartTrade Pro Premium. When the App Embed is enabled, logged-in trade customers see:
Prices update automatically when variants change. Retail customers see normal pricing.
SmartTrade Pro supports most Shopify themes including Dawn, Horizon, and other popular themes. The pricing display uses JavaScript that adapts to standard Shopify theme structures. If prices aren't displaying correctly on your theme, contact support and we'll add compatibility.
SmartTrade Pro uses Shopify Functions — Shopify's native discount engine that runs directly at checkout. This means discounts are applied by Shopify itself, not by an external server call. The result is zero latency, 100% reliability, and full compatibility with Shopify's checkout.
No. The discount calculation runs on Shopify's infrastructure via Shopify Functions, not on an external server. The storefront pricing display loads asynchronously and doesn't affect your store's page load speed or Core Web Vitals.
Yes. SmartTrade Pro uses Shopify Functions which integrate directly with Shopify's native checkout. There are no redirects, no external checkout pages, and no code injection. The discount appears naturally in the checkout flow.
You can cancel anytime through your Shopify admin under Apps > SmartTrade Pro > Manage subscription. There are no cancellation fees. When you cancel, the app continues working until the end of your current billing period.
All your data (tiers, orders, customer records) is automatically deleted when you uninstall the app, in compliance with Shopify's data protection requirements. Customer tags in Shopify are not removed. If you reinstall later, you'll start fresh with a new setup.
Yes. You can upgrade to Premium at any time from the Plan page in the app. If you downgrade from Premium to Standard, your tiers and product overrides are removed, and the app switches to a single global discount percentage.
