ELARLACE offers two ways for retailers to purchase jewelry:
- Use the Sample Cart for small sample orders that can be paid online.
- Submit a Request Order for larger, mixed-style, or more customized wholesale orders.
Both options use wholesale pricing. The main difference is the size and complexity of the order.
What is the Sample Cart?
The Sample Cart is designed for retailers who want to purchase a small number of pieces and check out online.
When you add a product to the Sample Cart, the cart uses the displayed Wholesale / Sample Price. It does not use the Suggested Retail Price.
The Sample Cart is useful when you want to:
- Test a new jewelry style
- Review product quality before expanding the assortment
- Purchase a small number of sample pieces
- Check how a style fits your store display
- Start with a straightforward product selection
The checkout total is calculated using the wholesale or sample price shown on the product page.
What is the Request Order?
The Request Order is designed for retailers who are planning a larger or more customized purchase.
You should consider submitting a Request Order when you want to:
- Order 10 or more pieces
- Combine several styles or categories
- Build a mixed assortment
- Ask about additional savings
- Confirm availability from a U.S. warehouse
- Discuss a larger opening order
- Review a planned trial order starting from 20 pieces
Submitting a Request Order does not require payment at the request stage. ELARLACE will review your selected styles and quantities, then confirm availability and possible additional savings.
You can submit a request through the ELARLACE wholesale inquiry page.
Which option should I choose?
| Your buying situation | Recommended option |
|---|---|
| You want one or a few products | Sample Cart |
| You want to check out online | Sample Cart |
| You are testing one style | Sample Cart |
| You want 10 or more pieces | Request Order |
| You want mixed styles | Request Order |
| You want to ask about additional savings | Request Order |
| You need availability confirmed first | Request Order |
| You are planning a 20-piece trial assortment | Request Order |
If your purchase is simple and small, the Sample Cart is the faster option. If your order includes multiple styles, larger quantities, or specific buying requirements, the Request Order gives the ELARLACE team more information to review.
How does pricing work?
ELARLACE product pages show two prices:
- Wholesale / Sample Price
- Suggested Retail Price
The wholesale or sample price is the retailer purchase reference. It is used in the Sample Cart and shown in the checkout process for eligible sample purchases.
The suggested retail price is a customer-facing reference. Retailers can use it when planning how to display and price the products in their stores.
| Price type | Used for |
|---|---|
| Wholesale / Sample Price | Retailer purchase and Sample Cart checkout |
| Suggested Retail Price | Customer-facing price planning |
The Suggested Retail Price is not used to calculate the Sample Cart total.
For larger or mixed orders, additional savings may be available depending on the selected styles and quantities. These details are reviewed through a Request Order.
Can I use the Sample Cart for a mixed order?
The Sample Cart is best for a simple sample purchase with clearly selected products.
If you want to combine several styles, categories, or quantities into a larger assortment, submit a Request Order instead. This allows ELARLACE to review the full product mix and discuss possible additional savings.
