Based on each plugin's product pages and help docs as of October 2026. ✓ means at least one of the three offers it.
FIVE WAYS IT'S DIFFERENT
01
Out of the box, WooCommerce gives every product one price for everyone. There are no buyer groups, no minimum orders, and no wholesale pricing. To sell wholesale, you pick a plugin, often add another for quotes or invoicing, then keep WordPress, your hosting, and every plugin updated and compatible. When an update breaks something, you're the one fixing it. Verai is wholesale from the first login. There's nothing to install, and updates happen on our end.
02
With most wholesale plugins, wholesale buyers shop the same storefront as everyone else, behind a login. A new buyer registers, waits for approval, and only then sees your pricing. Verai's Brand Portal is built for buyers from the start. Share a link or put a QR code on your booth, and a buyer can browse your catalog without creating an account. Need a different setup for a distributor or a new product line? Spin up another portal under the same account.
03
A WooCommerce product page holds a title, a description, a price, a SKU, and stock. There's no built-in place for a certification, a case pack, a shelf life, or a distributor note, so buyers email you to ask. Verai's product record covers all of it: certifications and claims linked to their source documents, shipment and storage details, a promo calendar, sell-through velocity, distributor info, and product-specific FAQs. It all feeds the buyer's Brand Portal, so the answer is on the page instead of in your inbox.
04
WooCommerce reports cover orders and revenue, which helps after the sale and tells you nothing before it. Verai's Buyer Engagement Insights track who opens your portal, who's showing interest, which products hold their attention, their highest-intent actions, and who keeps coming back. Verai also turns that activity into a short, plain-language AI briefing. You sent your portal to fifteen buyers last month. Three came back this week. That's your call list, not a gut feeling.
05
Quote plugins are built to negotiate price on an order. A sample request or an early "tell me more" usually ends up in email. Verai's Order Inbox catches samples, inquiries, and orders the moment a buyer submits them from your Brand Portal, no account required. Every request carries a status (Unassigned, Pending, Reviewed, Quoted, Ordered, or Rejected), so nothing sits in "probably handled." When a buyer's ready, send a Stripe checkout link and get paid without leaving the request.
WHO THIS IS BUILT FOR
You're starting wholesale and don't want to piece it together from WooCommerce plugins
You want buyers to browse your catalog without creating an account first
You want buyers to see the details a standard product page can't hold: certifications, specs, shelf life
Your wholesale setup is a stack of plugins, and every update is a chance something breaks
Buyers log in, browse, and go quiet, and you can't tell who was actually interested
You've outgrown one website and want separate portals for different buyers or product lines
Moving your product data shouldn't mean starting over. Point Verai at your WooCommerce store URL, and Verai's AI reads it and builds your product records. It works the same way with a spreadsheet, a PDF, a Shopify store, or a Faire catalog. You review everything before it goes live. Keep WooCommerce for retail and run wholesale on Verai, or move off WooCommerce altogether.

QUESTIONS
No. Verai isn't a WordPress plugin. It works alongside any storefront, or none at all.
Yes. Keep WooCommerce for retail and use Verai as the front door for your wholesale buyers, your product story, and your pricing. Or move your wholesale off WooCommerce entirely.
A plugin adds wholesale ordering to a store built for retail shoppers. Verai is built only for wholesale: a Brand Portal buyers can browse without an account, product records deep enough to answer their questions, insight into who's engaged, and checkout that gets you paid. There's nothing to install or keep updated.

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 route requests to the ordering channel you already use, including your WooCommerce store.
