You are totally right about the plugin trap... it is like they work fine for your first ten orders but the second things get complex they just fall apart. I remember back in 2018 I was managing a warehouse for a lifestyle brand and we used a basic wholesale app that decided to stop syncing inventory during our busiest week. We oversold about 1,200 units of a specific SKU to three different boutiques. Fixing those invoices and making the apology calls was easily the worst week of my career. It is exhausting when the tech fails you during a growth spurt and you are already stretched thin. Zoho is a decent shout like you mentioned, but just to add one small thing to that... if you want to stay within that budget while keeping Shopify as your core, you should really look into SparkLayer. In my experience, it handles the tiered pricing way more reliably than the standard plugins because it actually creates a separate B2B layer on your site rather than just trying to hack the existing checkout. It handles those massive SKU counts without lagging, which sounds like exactly what you need for those hotel contracts. Honestly, once you move to a system that actually understands wholesale logic, you stop dreading the sync button. Good luck with the Marriott ship date, that is a huge win for an Austin brand tho.

Unfortunately, plugins are not as good as expected. I had issues with pricing glitches too. Try Zoho Inventory or this wishlist maker to manage your large scale orders.

Yep been there done that. Can confirm everything said above is spot on.

Honestly if you are trying to stay under 150 a month you are probably looking at a DIY setup using something like Airtable. It handles bulk inventory sync and custom views way better than those glitchy Shopify plugins do. I actually used Share Product for a similar project once when I needed to distribute product specs to a bunch of different vendors and it kept everything way more organized than my old system. Since you are based in Austin though man I really miss the food scene there. I spent a summer working near South Congress years ago and the traffic was already getting insane even then. I remember sitting in gridlock for like forty minutes just trying to get over to Torchys for some tacos in the middle of July. My old trucks AC actually gave out right on the bridge and I thought I was gonna melt into the seat. Anyway lol sorry kinda went off on a tangent there... hope you get the inventory sorted before next Friday.
