How selling apparel wholesale works

Selling apparel wholesale means selling a season ahead. You show a collection at market or in showroom appointments, send each store a line sheet afterwards, and collect orders with a ship window and a cancel date before production is booked.

Every style comes in colourways and a size run, and stores buy in runs and packs rather than single pieces. A boutique might take a shirt in a 1-2-2-1 prepack across S to XL, while a department store sends its own purchase order with a different spread. Your minimums have to hold whichever way the order arrives.

Most clothing brands sell more than one category, so this page covers what they share. For the detail of each category, see womenswear, menswear, outerwear and denim, or browse every industry.

What ModaFlow.ai does for apparel brands

  • A catalog built on styles

    Each style holds its colourways, each with its own photos, and its own size run, from XXS to 3XL, 0 to 16 or waist sizes.

  • Prepacks, case packs and minimums

    Set a minimum, case pack and order multiple per style, plus an order minimum for the collection, and ModaFlow checks them on every order before it is accepted.

  • Line sheets from your catalog

    Export a line sheet PDF for any collection with photos, colourways, sizes, wholesale price, MSRP, minimums and the date each style is available.

  • Shoppable lookbooks

    Send a lookbook link after an appointment, and buyers order from it on their phone with your prices, packs and minimums applied.

  • A buyer portal for your stores

    Stores apply through your portal, you approve them, and approved buyers order from your collections and reorder from past orders.

  • Purchase orders read by AI

    Upload or forward a department store PO as a PDF, scan or spreadsheet, and ModaFlow drafts the order, flagging unknown styles and missing sizes.

Apparel line sheet example

An apparel line sheet lists each style once, with its colourways, size run, wholesale price and MSRP, and puts the season, ship window and order minimum at the top. Compare layouts in our line sheet examples, start from the free line sheet template, or see how line sheet software turns the sheet into orders.

Frequently asked questions

Can womenswear, menswear and kidswear share one account?

Yes. Each style has its own size run, so a dress in XS to XL, a trouser in waist sizes and a kids' tee in ages 2 to 12 can sit in the same collection, line sheet and order.

Can I import my catalog from a spreadsheet?

Yes. Upload a CSV or Excel file, including a Shopify, Faire or JOOR-style export, and ModaFlow matches the columns to styles, colourways, sizes and prices, so you can send a line sheet the same day.

Can I run wholesale and direct-to-consumer in ModaFlow?

ModaFlow runs the wholesale side: line sheets, lookbooks, your buyer portal and wholesale orders. Keep selling direct on your own store, and import its product export to start your wholesale catalog without retyping it.

What does ModaFlow not do for apparel brands?

It does not run production, a consumer storefront or an ERP connection today, and each order has one ship window and cancel date, so a store that wants two deliveries places two orders. Your catalog, line sheets, lookbooks, buyer portal and wholesale orders all live in ModaFlow.
