Prepare the trade account information
A supplier may ask for the business name, contact details, selling channel, website and the types of products required. Accurate information helps the supplier apply the right account terms and communicate product or availability updates.
Kokoshungsan trade registration allows eligible business users to see trade and retail prices together. The displayed gap is not a profit promise because delivery, fees, VAT treatment, promotions and operating costs remain to be deducted.
Compare the full purchase cost
Check whether prices include or exclude VAT, how delivery is charged and whether quantity breaks apply. A slightly higher unit price with predictable delivery and smaller buying quantities may be more practical than a low price tied to excess stock.
Record the landed cost for each SKU and set a minimum acceptable contribution after payment fees and fulfilment. Recalculate whenever supplier prices or delivery charges change.
- Trade unit price and quantity break
- VAT treatment
- Inbound or direct-to-customer delivery
- Storage, picking and packaging
- Payment, marketplace and advertising fees
- Expected returns and damaged stock
Check the product information
Obtain the current product name, ingredients, allergen information, directions, warnings, quantity, storage information, identifiers and imagery that you are permitted to use. Listings should match the product actually supplied.
If the provider updates a label or specification, update the website promptly. Keep batch and purchasing records appropriate to the way the business operates and seek specialist guidance where required.
Build a range that can sell through
Select products around a defined customer rather than ordering every available item. Measure views, basket additions, completed orders, repeat demand and return reasons. Reorder proven products and remove listings that cannot be maintained accurately or profitably.
A disciplined small range can create stronger category pages, clearer email campaigns and less cash tied up in slow-moving stock.
Common questions
Who can apply for trade prices?
Trade access is intended for businesses buying for resale or business use. Registration requirements and approval can vary by supplier.
Is the retail-to-trade gap my profit?
No. It is only a price comparison before delivery, payment fees, tax, discounts, marketing, returns and other operating costs.
Should I buy the largest quantity for the lowest unit price?
Only when demand, shelf life, storage and cash flow support it. A smaller first order can reduce the cost of learning which products customers actually buy.
