Wholesale plays a central role in the global supply chain and is especially important for B2B businesses. In this guide, we break down what wholesale means, how it works, and how you can make the most of it on AnatoliaSource.
Wholesale refers to the practice of businesses purchasing products directly from suppliers or manufacturers at a lower price, and then selling those products to other businesses — typically retailers — for resale or further distribution.
On AnatoliaSource, "wholesale" always refers to this B2B transaction model, where only registered businesses can connect with suppliers and explore sourcing opportunities.
