Bulk Order Management
B2B buyers don't add one item at a time. They order in volume, reorder from saved lists, import from CSV or barcode scan, and expect pricing to reflect their quantity at the moment they're building the order—not after they submit it. Virto's bulk ordering and quantity-based pricing capabilities are designed around this operational reality.
How Buyers Can Place Bulk Orders
- Upload a file (printed or handwritten) with order details while the system understands the context and meaning of the information through AI Smart Capture functionality that automatically extracts and interprets data.
- CSV import with variant matching—bulk order entry from spreadsheet with automatic product mapping to catalog items and quantities.
- Quick order by SKU—direct entry for buyers who know exactly what they need.
- Barcode scanning—instant product lookup and order entry compatible with handheld scanners and mobile cameras.
- Copy and paste order details directly into the platform from spreadsheets, emails, past orders, or other sources without uploading a file.
- Add products manually one by one, offering flexibility for smaller bulk orders and last-minute adjustments.
All methods process orders directly online—no manual ERP re-entry required.

Use Case Examples
- Wholesale reorder: A wholesale buyer replenishes the same 40 SKUs monthly. They open their saved list, adjust quantities based on current stock needs, and see pricing updates in real time as they cross volume thresholds—submitting a confirmed order in minutes rather than hours.
- Field sales order entry: A sales representative in a warehouse uses barcode scanning to build a replenishment order on the spot. Items are added directly to the cart with real-time inventory and pricing confirmation—no manual ERP entry required.
- Distributor bulk onboarding: A distributor uploads a CSV of 200 line items from a customer's purchase order. The system maps variants, applies contracted pricing and volume tiers, and generates a cart ready for review—replacing a manual process that previously took hours.
