What to know before you order
- Local wholesalers versus importers and flower auctions each have different minimums and lead times
- Understand grading and quality tiers so you know what you're actually paying for
- Plan around seasonality, some flowers are far more available and affordable at certain times of year
- Ask about minimum order quantities before you commit to a supplier
- Build relationships with two or three reliable suppliers rather than depending on just one
Receiving a shipment
- Inspect stems for damage, disease, or poor hydration as soon as they arrive
- Process and hydrate flowers promptly, see our flower care basics guide
- Track what you received against what you ordered and paid for
Florisyn's wholesale marketplace also lets florists browse and order from wholesale sellers directly inside the platform, alongside your everyday inventory and recipe tools.
Common questions
How do I find wholesale flower suppliers?
Local wholesale florist markets, flower auctions, and importers are common starting points; many shops also find suppliers through other local florists.
Do I need a resale license or tax ID to buy wholesale?
Most wholesale suppliers require some form of business or resale documentation; requirements vary by supplier and location, so confirm directly with the wholesaler.
Can I buy wholesale without a physical storefront?
Many wholesalers work with delivery-only or online florists as long as you can provide the required business documentation.
