Eligibility & Account Types
Who is eligible to open a wholesale account?
Any licensed retailer, convenience store owner, smoke shop operator, or ecommerce reseller with a valid business license or resale certificate is eligible for a wholesale account. We serve businesses of all sizes, from single-location shops to multi-store operations.
Do I need a resale certificate to buy wholesale?
Yes, a valid state-issued resale certificate or equivalent business documentation is required to access wholesale pricing and place orders. This allows you to purchase tax-exempt for items you intend to resell. Visit our tax & resale certificate FAQ for details on accepted documents.
Can individuals buy from Shop The King without a business?
Shop The King is a wholesale-only supplier, and a valid business license or resale certificate is required to register and purchase products at wholesale prices. This policy ensures we can maintain the lowest possible pricing for our retail customers. See our tax FAQ for information on required credentials.
Do you offer different pricing tiers for high-volume buyers?
Yes, we offer volume-based pricing tiers that reward larger orders with lower per-unit costs. The more you buy, the more you save on each case or unit. Visit our pricing FAQ or contact our sales team to discuss volume pricing for your order size.
Can nonprofit organizations open a wholesale account?
Nonprofit organizations with valid documentation may be eligible for a wholesale account on a case-by-case basis. Requirements may differ from standard retail accounts depending on your organization type. Contact our team to discuss your specific situation and requirements.
Do you work with ecommerce-only businesses that don't have a physical store?
Yes, we serve ecommerce resellers who sell on platforms like Amazon, eBay, and their own online stores. A valid business license is still required to open a wholesale account, regardless of whether you have a physical retail location. Learn more on our reselling FAQ page.
Can I add team members or employees to my wholesale account?
Yes, you can authorize additional users on your account so that team members or employees can place orders on your behalf. Multi-user access helps streamline purchasing for businesses with dedicated buyers or multiple locations. Contact our support team to set up multi-user access for your business.
