Wholesale + Spocket

Keep the custom storefront and Stripe so residual stays with Blaze. Use Spocket to dropship while you open wholesale accounts — then switch SKUs to better unit cost as customers prove demand.

1 · Sell on your site

Guest or account · Stripe · no Shopify tax

2 · Fulfill via Spocket

No inventory · map variant IDs · 2–5 day ship

3 · Lock wholesale

Email brands · case buys · better residual

Subject: Wholesale / barber account — Blaze the Barber (Rochester, NY)

Hello,

I'm Jared with Blaze the Barber in the Rochester, NY area. We sell a small
chair-tested shelf online (our own storefront + Stripe) and want to buy
wholesale rather than only marketplace dropship.

Interested in:
- Product(s): [NAME / SKU]
- Expected monthly volume: [start low — e.g. 1–2 cases]
- Ship-to: Rochester / Chili, NY area
- Need: wholesale price sheet, MOQ, case pack, MAP if any, net terms if available

We're not Amazon-first — we sell under our brand to clients from the chair
and our site. Happy to provide resale certificate / EIN when you send the
application.

Thank you,
Jared
