How to open a wholesale trade account
What you need, how approval works and what changes once your account is active.
By Universal Wholesale

Universal Wholesale sells to licensed businesses only. A trade account unlocks wholesale pricing, online ordering and your order and invoice history across the website and mobile app.
What you need
- Your business name, address and a contact phone number
- Your tax ID (EIN), if you have one
- Your tobacco or retail licence number
How approval works
Apply online in about two minutes. Our team verifies every application before wholesale pricing is enabled — usually within one business day — and may call you to confirm details. You'll receive an email as soon as your account is approved.
Once you're approved
- Your prices appear on every product page and in your cart
- You can order by the piece, pack or case where available
- Your dashboard shows open orders, invoices, balances and payment terms
- Any past order can be repeated in one click
