Create your first private catalogThe problem: how Indian sellers currently handle distributor pricing
Most sellers with multiple distributors are managing pricing through a combination of memory, WhatsApp messages, and spreadsheets. Each approach has its own failure mode:
Separate WhatsApp messages per distributor
You send price updates individually to each distributor. It’s easy to send the wrong rate to the wrong person, or forget to update someone when prices change.
Problem: Manual errors and accidentally exposed pricing are common
Multiple PDF price lists
You maintain different PDFs for different distributors. When a price changes, you recreate and resend each PDF — and hope no one is still ordering from the old one.
Problem: PDFs go out of date; wrong version gets shared
One price list for everyone
Simpler to manage, but high-volume buyers who deserve a better rate don’t get one — or you give everyone the low rate and lose margin on smaller orders.
Problem: High-volume buyers lose loyalty; margin squeezed on low-volume buyers
Why WhatsApp catalog cannot solve this
WhatsApp Business lets you create one catalog — but it’s a single catalog with one set of prices, visible to everyone. Here’s what it cannot do:
No per-buyer pricing
Every buyer sees the same price. There is no way to show Distributor A one rate and Distributor B another.
No login or access control
Anyone who has your WhatsApp number can see your catalog. You cannot restrict it to specific distributors.
No structured order placement
Buyers can ’add to cart’ but orders come through as a WhatsApp message — which you then have to interpret and retype.
No MOQ enforcement
A buyer can try to order 1 unit even if your minimum is 100. There’s no system-level guard.
No automatic invoice
Once you receive an order message, you still need to manually create and send a GST invoice.
No order history or audit trail
Orders are buried in chat. There’s no searchable log of what each distributor ordered and when.
How Growkit’s buyer-specific catalogs work
Growkit lets you create a separate catalog for each distributor — with their own prices, their own product list, and their own login. Here’s the setup:
Add your distributor as a buyer
Enter their name, business name, email, and phone number. Growkit creates their buyer profile.
Create a private catalog for them
Set up a catalog visible only to this buyer. You configure the products they can order and the price for each one.
Set their specific prices and terms
For each product, enter the price this distributor should see. You can also set MOQs, bulk discount tiers, and payment terms specific to this catalog.
Invite them to their catalog
Growkit sends the distributor a login link. They log in and see only their catalog — no other distributor’s rates are visible.
Orders flow to your dashboard
When the distributor places an order, it appears in your dashboard with their name, catalog, and all order details. GST invoice is auto-generated.
What you can customize per distributor catalog
| Setting | What you control |
|---|---|
| Price per product | Set a different unit price for each product — different from your open catalog or any other distributor’s price |
| Product selection | Show only the products relevant to this distributor — hide products they don’t order or shouldn’t see |
| Minimum order quantity | Set a per-product or per-catalog MOQ for this distributor specifically |
| Bulk discount tiers | Define quantity-based discount tiers that apply only to orders from this catalog |
| Payment terms | Set net-30, net-60, or advance payment terms — tracked in the dashboard per distributor |
Complete pricing privacy — no distributor sees another’s rate
Each private catalog requires a login. Distributor A gets login credentials for their catalog; Distributor B gets credentials for a completely separate catalog. There is no cross-visibility. Even if Distributor A guesses Distributor B’s catalog URL, they cannot access it without the right login. Your negotiated rates stay between you and each distributor — exactly as they should.
Manage 10 distributors or 100 — from one dashboard
As your distributor network grows, Growkit’s dashboard scales with you. Everything is in one place:
See all distributors and their catalogs
A single view shows every buyer, their catalog, and when they last placed an order.
Track orders by distributor
Filter your order log by buyer — see what Distributor A ordered this month versus last month.
Update prices across catalogs
Change a product price in one catalog or push a price update to multiple catalogs at once.
Send new catalog invites
Add a new distributor to your network in minutes — they get an email with their private catalog link.
Monitor payment status per distributor
See which invoices are paid, which are pending, and which are overdue — broken down by buyer.
Frequently asked questions
How many private catalogs can I create?
On the Starter plan (free), you get 2 private catalogs. On Growth (₹1,299/month), up to 10. On Pro (₹2,999/month), unlimited private catalogs for as many distributors as you have.
Can a distributor share their catalog link with someone else?
Private catalogs require a login — the catalog link alone isn't enough to access it. If a distributor shares their login credentials, that person can access the catalog, so treat credentials as you would any business login. You can revoke access from your dashboard at any time.
What if I change a distributor's price?
Price changes take effect immediately. The next time that distributor opens their catalog, they see the updated price. Orders that were already placed and confirmed are not affected — they stay at the confirmed price.
Can I create a catalog for a group of distributors who all get the same pricing?
Yes. You can invite multiple buyers to a single private catalog. Everyone in that catalog sees the same prices and product list. This is useful for distributors in the same region or tier who all get the same deal.
Can distributors see each other's information?
No. Each private catalog is fully isolated. Distributor A cannot see Distributor B's catalog, products, prices, or orders. There is no shared view across private catalogs.
What happens when a distributor places an order?
The order appears in your dashboard immediately with the distributor's name, their catalog name, the products ordered, quantities, and prices. A GST invoice is auto-generated for the order. You confirm it and the invoice is sent to the distributor with a payment link.
Give every distributor their own catalog
