As a supplier, you tell Unite the wholesale price of each item. To calculate the sales price for customers, a margin is added to the wholesale price. If you like, you can request a price report for a fee. You can then respond to the price level and price elasticity of each item by adjusting the price for Unite, allowing you to control your competitiveness.

Unite passes on its suppliers’ shipping costs to its customers without adding commission. Shipping costs are based on order value rather than weight.

EANs (European Article Numbers) should always be included in your catalogue if they have been assigned by the manufacturer. Remember, customers sometimes search for items by entering the EAN. If an EAN hasn’t been assigned by the manufacturer, please get in touch with our supplier management team.

Your product range can be expanded by updating your catalogue. Please contact your supplier manager.
