Custom Pricing provides you with the flexibility of bulk importing your wholesale discounts through a spreadsheet file. Uploading this file bypasses having to set up the pricing discounts from within the app's admin.
Using the Shopify product export feature and a spreadsheet editing program (Excel, Google Sheets, etc.), you're able to set specific discounts for each of your price tiers and products.
