Why businesses pick Crate over B2B Wave
- Far lower list price: B2B Wave is 270 GBP a month, Crate is $50-$150 a month by active buyers.
- Your Square, Shopify or Clover catalog syncs in, so you do not maintain a second product list.
- A branded portal on your own domain, per-customer prices and private-label products.
- Standing orders (Growth) and an email-to-order inbox that turns emailed and texted orders into orders.
- Roaster tools: roast weekdays, order cutoffs and a production sheet.
B2B Wave may still fit if you want to keep billing in pounds.

Crate imports your Shopify, Square or Clover catalog, and reads customer and product spreadsheets in any column layout. Run both tools side by side until it looks right.
- 01
Connect your store or upload products
Connect Shopify, Square or Clover and your catalog syncs into Crate, variations included. No store? Upload a product spreadsheet with a name and price for each item.
- 02
Upload your customer list
Upload the customer export as a CSV, in whatever column layout your old tool produced. Crate matches the columns for you. Each wholesale account needs a business name and an email. Choose their payment terms, such as Net 30, as you import.
- 03
Set each account's prices
Recreate your price lists and individual customer prices in Crate. Send us your price export and we will help you set them up.
- 04
Invite buyers when you are ready
Run both tools side by side while you check prices. When it looks right, send each buyer an invite to their portal. They set a password and order from their own portal.
Keep in mind
- Keep the order export for your records. Crate starts new order history from your switch date.
