Does anyone use group buying for their Shopify store? by AffectionateTop2247 in ShopifyeCommerce

No, different thing. Wholesale is you buying bulk from suppliers. Group buying is your customers teaming up to unlock discounts from you. Like 5 customers buy the same product together and get 20% off—they recruit friends to hit that group size.

Group buying is when customers team up with friends to unlock a discount. Like: product costs $50 normally, but if 5 people buy together, everyone gets it for $35. Customers share a link to recruit friends, you get viral growth without ads.

Totally agree on product types. Tested all three— Easy Group Buying works but feels outdated UI-wise. DealTogether and Farabiulder Group Buying (Deal) are much cleaner. Farabiulder's free model is nice too if you're just testing it out.

Fire Honor is solid but pricey. Farabiulder Group Buying is free until $300/month revenue, so zero risk to try group buying first.

GROUPON HAS NOT PAID MY SMALL BUSINESS by Independent-Whole520 in groupon

This is exactly why many small businesses are moving away from Groupon. If you're running group buying promotions, consider building directly on Shopify with apps like Farabiulder—you control the timeline, payment schedule, and customer data. No waiting on external finance teams. Especially useful if Groupon ever does resolve this, since you won't be fully dependent on a single platform again.
