# Module 14: Wholesale

Everything up to this point works with Retail Arbitrage or Online Arbitrage: buying as a normal customer, no account or application needed. Most sellers stay on that path for a long time, and there's nothing wrong with staying on it indefinitely.

Wholesale is a different model. Instead of buying single units from shops and retailer websites, you set up an account with a business-facing supplier and buy stock in bulk, usually at a lower unit cost, with more consistent availability. It suits sellers who've proven a product works with RA/OA and want to buy deeper into it, or who want the kind of invoice that unlocks ungating on a specific brand (7.3).

It also comes with more setup: a supplier account, minimum order quantities, and a different rhythm of ordering and waiting. This module covers what that looks like when you're ready for it. If you're not there yet, skip it and come back later.
