Brandboom

Overview

Brandboom is a wholesale sales platform for brands that present products to buyers and manage orders through line sheets, reps and a marketplace. It is best suited to apparel and product businesses that want those sales workflows connected to catalogue management. Its free tier offers a way to start, while more complex operations may need paid capacity or the Business plan.

Key features

Brands can build digital line sheets and share them as live links or PDFs, with buyers able to order directly from a presentation. Buyers can do so without an account or fee, which keeps the purchasing path straightforward. Brandboom also supports buyer self-service carts, sales-representative web entry, iOS order entry and barcode workflows, with order validation.

Catalogue tools cover individual and bulk product creation, CSV imports, inventory, variants and pricing tiers. That combination is useful for sellers with changing stock or multiple price structures, and the Startup plan adds volume discounts. The curated Brandboom Marketplace provides a separate discovery channel and guarantees brands payment after an order is delivered; free users get unlimited Marketplace orders, but face a limit on orders placed outside it.

Integrations include Shopify, ApparelMagic, Stripe, PayPal, Shippo, Zapier, AIMS360, NetSuite, Aptean, A2000, Pavo, DigitBridge, Calendly and Sync Mobile. Payments include credit card and ACH through Stripe, as well as PayPal and PayPal Pay Later. Custom integrations use the API, but live API connections require the Business plan, making Basic and Startup a poor fit for businesses that need a live connection to other systems.

The iPad app supports offline presentation viewing and order writing, a practical advantage for sales conversations away from a reliable connection. It cannot create invoices or process payments, so those tasks require a desktop or laptop. Brandboom Pro is available for iOS devices only. Presentations cannot be password protected, although owners can monitor visitors, disable links and use custom access codes. Brandboom advertises phone support Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST, and email support at [email protected].

Pricing

Brandboom is freemium, with a free plan and paid plans starting at 50.00 USD per month billed annually. Basic costs 50.00 USD per month billed annually and supports one brand, 25 active products and 50 active SKUs. It includes orders and invoices, Stripe and PayPal, and Shopify integration. That cap makes Basic a measured starting point for a small catalogue, not a natural home for a broad assortment.

Startup costs 83.00 USD per month billed annually. It raises capacity to 150 active products and unlimited SKUs, and adds external reps, buyer activity tracking, volume discounts, a quick-order mobile app, and the ability to quote and send orders. It is the stronger option for a growing sales team that needs those tools, but it still does not include the live API connections reserved for Business.

Free costs 0.00 USD per free. It includes product creation, presentation building and sharing, and unlimited Marketplace orders, but limits orders outside the Marketplace. It suits sellers exploring presentation-led sales or using the Marketplace, but is restrictive for direct wholesale ordering. Business has custom pricing and includes unlimited brands and products, API integrations and ERP file-drop sync, future ship windows, buyer-order management, private invite emails and priority support. Enterprise also has custom pricing and targets larger teams with custom integrations and solutions, sales-rep management, advanced reporting and a dedicated account manager. A free trial is available; the paid plan prices shown are billed annually.

Platforms

Brandboom supports web, iOS and API. The iPad app’s offline viewing and order writing are useful for reps in the field, but invoice creation and payment processing still require a desktop or laptop. Brandboom Pro is iOS-only, so teams needing Android mobile access should look elsewhere.

Who it's for

Brandboom is a good fit for brands whose wholesale selling depends on digital product presentations, buyer orders and rep-assisted sales. It is less suitable for businesses that need Android apps, password-protected presentations, mobile invoicing or payments, or live API connections without moving to Business.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Buyers can order from line sheets without an account or buyer fee, reducing friction for wholesale customers.
• Pro: The free plan permits unlimited Marketplace orders, and the Marketplace guarantees payment after delivery.
• Pro: Product tools include bulk creation, CSV imports, inventory, variants and pricing tiers.
• Con: Free limits orders outside the Marketplace, restricting sellers who depend on direct presentation-led sales.
• Con: The iPad app cannot invoice or process payments, leaving those tasks to desktop or laptop users.
• Con: Live API connections require Business, whose price is custom.
• Con: Presentations cannot be password protected, and Brandboom Pro is limited to iOS devices.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison, see Order Entry Software.

• Simplisales is worth considering if a free forever plan with 100 sales orders per month and manual entry suits your workflow; its free tier includes one user, one catalogue and one price list.
• RepZio may suit teams focused on sales-rep tools, but its free Basic sales rep license has no iOS access and cannot submit orders.
• RepSpark is an alternative for businesses seeking an enterprise subscription with a customized quote, unlimited B2B users and extensive platform integration.
• FieldAssist may be a better fit for field sales and distribution workflows centered on offline-first operations, order capture, invoicing, collections and returns.
• Onsight is an option for teams prepared to pay 54.00 USD per month for its Starter plan, which covers up to 1,000 products, 1,000 customers and 500 orders per month.
• OrderTaker may suit businesses seeking an annually billed plan at 50.00 USD per month with unlimited sales orders, purchase orders, customers, companies, locations and contacts.
• Orderwerks is an alternative for teams seeking a web portal and sales app at 60.00 USD per user per month, with volume pricing for teams of five or more and no transaction fees.
• Zoey may suit businesses prepared for a 600.00 USD per month Starter plan that includes one user license and 50 accounts.

Verdict

Choose Brandboom if your brand sells wholesale through line sheets and needs buyer ordering, product management and rep workflows in the same platform. Its account-free buyer ordering and free Marketplace orders are meaningful strengths. Look elsewhere if mobile payments, Android apps, password-protected presentations or live API connections on a lower plan are essential.
