More Wholesale Friendly Features - Members Page + Different Payment Options

When comparing Square online to other websites builders like Wordpress, Wix, Woocommerce, Shopify, etc. Square is very lacking in features for wholesalers or people who want to only sell wholesale. 

 

I was in the middle of creating a website and wanted to add a members section where my wholesalers can sign into their account and view their orders and to view pricing, I didn't want my wholesale pricing to be available to the public unless they are a member. I would like to be able to have my wholesalers to have their own account that they can log into, track orders and add items to a "wishlist" for items they are looking at. This is currently not possible. 

 

I would also like to add that the payment methods are great for retail but not wholesale. I have a lot of wholesalers who would rather be invoiced for 50% upfront and 50% later (30-60 days) or pay via etransfer because not all businesses have a credit card. Unless I'm taking payments in person, these people now can't order online. However, if there was a custom option to add "invoice me net 30" or maybe "invoice to pay later" and then we set the terms between processing and ready-ing the order, that would be great. Or have an etransfer option and the order is sitting in "waiting for payment" for 24 hours before it's cancelled. 

 

At this time, Square doesn't have any of these features and I can see this becoming a huge request as wholesale sites are becoming more and more popular. I hate going through multiple spreadsheets for orders and would rather people place orders online. 

 

To have the above options, I'll have to create a coupon code for "invoice me" or "etransfer" which will mess up my numbers (it will show these orders as charged twice in my reports that I got two $200 sales instead of just one $200 sale which means more work on my back end) and I'll need to password protect my website so my wholesale pricing isn't available to the public. 

 

It would be great to get those payment features in soon. The members' area can wait but the payment ones are stopping me from completing my website on Square.
