Squarespace makes your brand look great to DTC shoppers. But wholesale buyers need more: pricing for their account, case packs, certifications, samples, and a simple way to order. Verai gives you Brand Portals that look like your brand, with every wholesale feature you need, built in.
No credit card needed. Takes about two minutes.

FIVE WAYS IT'S DIFFERENT
01
Squarespace gives every product one price. To sell wholesale on Squarespace alone, you export your catalog, change every price, and re-import it as a second store behind a password. Wholesale orders then run through your retail shipping and payment settings. The other route is Candid Wholesale, the only wholesale extension in Squarespace's Extensions marketplace. It replaces the second store with its own storefront and checkout, but it's still a separate copy of your products to look after. Verai starts with one product record. Build a Brand Portal, share the link, and you're selling wholesale.
02
A grocery chain, a regional distributor, and a neighborhood boutique don't want the same products, prices, or terms. On Squarespace, they all land on the same wholesale page. Candid gives them a proper wholesale storefront, but it's still one catalog for everyone. With Verai, you build a Brand Portal for each account, region, or product line from the same catalog. Each one gets its own products, pricing, and look. Keep it open, have buyers request access, or keep it private. At Expo West, put a QR code on your booth and send buyers straight to the right one.
03
A Squarespace product page is built to sell to a DTC shopper: photos, a description, a price. Candid brings those same details into its wholesale catalog. Buyers ask different questions. What's the case pack? What's the shelf life? Is it certified organic, and can you prove it? Verai's product record has a place for all of it: certifications and claims linked to their source documents, shipment and storage details, your promo calendar, sell-through velocity, distributor info, and product FAQs. Buyers find the answer on the page instead of in a follow-up email.
04
Squarespace shows your orders and site traffic, but not which buyer looked at which product. Candid's Selling Signals goes further and shows which buyers visited your collections. Verai's Buyer Engagement Insights show who opened your Brand Portal, which products held their attention, what they did next, and who keeps coming back. An AI briefing sums it up in plain language, so you know who to follow up with first. That's your call list, not a gut feeling.
05
Squarespace gives you a retail checkout and manual invoices. Candid adds collaborative orders, invoicing, and Net 30, and it's good at all three for buyers who are ready to buy. A lot of wholesale happens before that point, though: a sample request, or an email asking for pricing for 12 stores. Neither one has a place for those, so they end up in your inbox. Verai's Order Inbox catches samples, inquiries, and orders from every Brand Portal. Each request gets a status, from Unassigned to Ordered, so nothing slips. When a buyer's ready, send a Stripe checkout link.
WHO THIS IS BUILT FOR
You want a wholesale presence that looks as good as your DTC website
You want a separate wholesale site for each account, region, or product line, without building a new store each time
You want a product page that answers a buyer's questions before they email you
Your wholesale products live on a separate page from your retail ones, and keeping prices current in both is a weekly job
Every account sees the same wholesale catalog, whether it's a chain buyer or a corner shop
You can see who ordered, but not which products caught a buyer's eye
Your Squarespace site keeps doing what it does well: selling to your DTC customers. Verai handles wholesale. Import your products from Squarespace, and Verai's AI turns them into product records you review before anything goes live. Then link your Brand Portal from your site's wholesale page, or use it in place of a password-protected store.

QUESTIONS
Not on its own. Squarespace gives each product one price, and its discounts can't be limited to specific customers. Most brands either run a password-protected second store or add Candid Wholesale, the wholesale extension in Squarespace's Extensions marketplace.
No. Keep Squarespace for your DTC site and use Verai for wholesale. They run side by side.
Candid is a wholesale ordering and invoicing platform, and the only wholesale extension in Squarespace's Extensions marketplace. It imports your Squarespace products into a wholesale storefront where approved buyers can order and pay.
Candid adds one wholesale storefront, ordering, and invoicing to your Squarespace store. Verai builds a Brand Portal for every buyer or channel from one product catalog, with detailed product records, sample requests, engagement insights, and checkout.
Yes. Each Brand Portal can be open to anyone with the link, open to buyers who request access, or private.
Yes. Share your Squarespace URL and Verai's AI builds your product records. You review everything before it goes live. Verai can also read a spreadsheet, a PDF, a URL, Shopify, or Faire.
Verai has multiple plans depending on what you need. See the full breakdown on our pricing page.
Both work. Buyers can check out directly through Verai's Stripe integration, or you can send requests to whatever ordering channel you already use.
