The Buyer Dashboard
After logging in, your wholesale customers land on their Portal Dashboard — their home base for all B2B purchasing activities. The dashboard provides a quick overview of their account and easy access to all portal features.
Dashboard Overview
The dashboard displays:
- Account information — The buyer's name, company, and email
- Quick stats — A summary of their recent ordering activity
- Quick links — One-click access to browse the catalog, place a quick order, or view order history
Sidebar Navigation Menu
The left sidebar provides navigation to all areas of the wholesale portal. Here's what each menu item does:

Top Bar
At the top of the portal, a header bar shows:
- The customer's name (or company name)
- A Logout button to securely end their session
Mobile Responsive Design
On mobile devices and smaller screens, the sidebar collapses into a hamburger menu (the three-line icon in the top corner). Tapping this icon slides open the full navigation menu. This ensures the portal works smoothly on phones and tablets for buyers who need to place orders on the go.
The Cart Drawer
On desktop screens, the cart drawer is always visible on the right side of the portal. It's your buyers' running tally of everything they've added to their current order.
What the Cart Drawer Shows
For each item in the cart, buyers see:
- Product image — A thumbnail of the product
- Product name and variant — Which specific item they've added (e.g., "T-Shirt – Red / Large")
- Quantity controls — Plus and minus buttons to adjust the quantity, or type in a specific number
- Unit price — The wholesale price per unit
- Line total — The subtotal for that line item
Volume Tier Savings Previews
If volume pricing is active for any item in the cart, the cart drawer shows tier savings previews for each applicable item. This tells the buyer:
- How much they're currently saving based on their quantity
- How many more items they'd need to add to reach the next tier and save even more
This is a powerful upselling feature that encourages buyers to add more items to unlock better pricing.
Cart Actions
- Clear All — A button to remove all items from the cart at once
- Order Total — The running total of all items in the cart is displayed at the bottom
Empty Cart State
When the cart is empty, buyers see a friendly message encouraging them to start browsing the catalog or use the Quick Order form.
Portal Theming
The portal's visual appearance — including colors, fonts, logos, and layout styles — is controlled by the merchant through the Portal Styling settings in the BulklyCart admin. Any changes you make to the Portal Styling are immediately reflected in what your buyers see, ensuring the portal matches your brand identity.
