No more missed or forgotten invoices. Whatever your terms, however you bill, Candid’s simple, secure payment system is always up to date and integrated directly into orders.

Skip the spreadsheets and build orders together with Candid’s intuitive, shareable order forms. We consulted with dozens of brands, retailers and showrooms to design our best-in-class ordering system, which takes the best parts of traditional paper order forms and brings them into the 21st century with integrated messaging, reserved inventory tracking, two-party approval workflows and so much more.
Cut through the noise with powerful tags and filters. Need to get your data out of Candid? No problem – export a CSV or PDF and keep working the way you prefer.
We know how tight margins are for apparel, especially when you include materials, labor, shipping. We don’t take commissions or fees on your sales, so you are able to make the profit you need to keep growing. We make a point of having a pricing plan for every size business.
Yes! We’re happy to be your one and only wholesale channel, but we also don’t mind sharing. Wholesale is hard enough as is – we don’t want to add to that!
Unlimited orders at all plan levels.
You can add as many users as you need. The primary contact defaults to the person who signed up, which you are able to change at any time.
We do not charge order transaction fees. Instead, we offer monthly paid subscription plans that you can read more about here. If you choose to use Candid Pay, our optional order payment processor powered by Stripe, you will be charged a small, standard processing fee which you can read more about here.
We are similar to a wholesale marketplace in that we are a buying and selling platform, but we are different in that Candid is primarily a tool used to manage your wholesale activities all in one place.
Most marketplaces are good for discovery, but that’s about it, and they generally offer more benefits to the buyer. You also run the risk of competing with similar brands and having fewer repeat customers. Candid’s software, however, makes it easy to create and maintain relationships with your vendors – sellers get to know buyers, see order history and have direct communication. Candid will also never advertise competitors’ goods to your customers, which is the main feature of some marketplaces.
Yes! Candid supports tracking numbers from all platforms (and integrates directly with Shipstation) so your order and shipping info are synced and buyers can track their shipments.
Yes! Candid’s analytics can show you best-selling products across buyers, seasons, or any other criteria you’d like.
Candid can sync inventory with your e-commerce store for up-to-the-minute numbers, so you never oversell a product. If an item is out of stock, it will be highlighted and the buyer can make a request order on future stock.
Yes. This is a common way for brands to move through older stock. Bulk editing makes it easy to change the price on multiple products at the same time. You can also add discounts on your invoice.
We let brands choose their own terms, because you know what is best for your company. Our invoices accommodate whichever payment terms & methods you prefer (including integrated credit card payment via Candid Pay).
