Using multiple bulk forms for different customer groups

Overview

Using multiple bulk order forms allows you to:

  • Offer different pricing per customer group

  • Control product access per group

  • Scale your B2B setup without manual work

Each customer can see only one bulk order form, so correct setup is essential.


When should you use multiple bulk forms?

Use multiple bulk forms if:

  • You have different wholesale tiers

  • You sell to resellers and distributors

  • You offer region-specific pricing

  • You want different product selections per group

If all customers share the same rules, a single form is usually enough.

Recommended setup approach

Step 1: Define your customer groups

Before creating forms, clearly define groups.

Examples

  • Wholesale Tier 1

  • Wholesale Tier 2

  • Distributors

  • International partners

Each group should have distinct rules.

Step 2: Create one bulk form per group

Create a separate bulk order form for each group.

Best practice

  • Name forms clearly
    (for example: Wholesale โ€“ Tier 1)

  • Avoid generic names

This makes management easier later.

Step 3: Use tag-based visibility

The most scalable method is customer tags.

Example

  • Form A โ†’ tag: Wholesale_T1

  • Form B โ†’ tag: Wholesale_T2

This allows:

  • Automatic access

  • Easy onboarding of new customers

  • Minimal maintenance

Step 4: Avoid overlapping rules

Overlapping visibility causes confusion.

Avoid

  • Reusing the same tag in multiple forms

  • Assigning the same customer to multiple forms

  • Combining โ€œAll customersโ€ with restricted forms

Step 5: Set pricing per group

Each bulk form can have its own pricing.

Examples

  • Tier 1 โ†’ 10% discount

  • Tier 2 โ†’ fixed prices

  • Distributor โ†’ individual prices

Keep pricing logic simple per form.

Step 6: Test each group separately

Testing is critical.

For each customer group:

  • Log in as a test customer

  • Verify correct form appears

  • Verify pricing and products

Use private/incognito windows.


Common mistakes

  • Using one form with complex pricing logic

  • Overlapping customer tags

  • Forgetting to test each group

  • Renaming tags without updating forms


Example setup (simple)

Summary

Multiple bulk forms work best when:

  • Each form has one clear purpose

  • Visibility rules never overlap

  • Pricing is simple per form

  • Testing is done per customer group
