Uninstalling Process Wholesale: what is removed and what stays
When you uninstall Process Wholesale, the app immediately deletes almost all of its own records for your store: every discount you configured, your settings, your signup form setup and email templates, your plan record, and the customer and order history behind Analytics. Process Wholesale does not remove the data it wrote into your Shopify store, such as customer tags and the processwholesale order tag. If you reinstall later, Process Wholesale starts from an empty setup.

What Process Wholesale deletes when you uninstall#
As soon as Shopify tells Process Wholesale that the app was uninstalled, the app deletes these records for your store:
| Deleted | Includes |
|---|---|
| Discount configuration | Flat discounts, tier discounts (quantity, cart value, cart quantity, loyalty), price lists and their prices, cost plus markup discounts, and the products, collections and variants each one applies to |
| Settings | Everything on the Settings page, including discount settings, customer settings, net payment terms, checkout rules and hidden payment methods |
| Signup form setup | Custom signup form fields and form settings |
| Email templates | Your edited wholesale application emails |
| Customer and order history | The app's copy of the customers and orders it recorded (wholesale or not) and their order lines, the data behind Analytics and at-risk customers, saved Quick Buy carts and recovery email history |
| Store and plan records | Your store's record in the app and the plan record |
| Sign-in sessions | The app's access to your store |
Process Wholesale keeps two kinds of record after an uninstall: the progress of the Quick guide checklist on the Dashboard, and the records of price list CSV imports, including the rows of each uploaded CSV.
When those services are turned on for the app, Process Wholesale also removes the store email from its mailing contact list and notifies the Ada setup assistant that the app was uninstalled.
What stays in your Shopify store after uninstalling#
Process Wholesale makes no changes in your Shopify store when it is uninstalled, so it does not remove the data it wrote there:
- Customer tags. Process Wholesale does not remove
B2B,B2B_Registeration(spelled this way),B2Bnettermsor your discount tags from customers. Remove them in Shopify admin if you no longer need them. See Customer tags and order tags used by Process Wholesale. - Order tags. Process Wholesale does not remove the
processwholesaleorder tag from orders. - Draft orders. Process Wholesale does not delete draft orders created by Quick Buy net payment terms.
- Customer notes. Process Wholesale does not remove the business details that applicants entered in the signup form from the customer's note.
Process Wholesale does not delete your Shopify customers, orders or products when it is uninstalled.
What a reinstall starts from#
If you install Process Wholesale again after uninstalling, the app starts from an empty setup:
- No plan is recorded, so the app opens Shopify's plan page until you choose a plan.
- There are no discounts, price lists or saved settings. You create them again.
- Analytics and at-risk customers start from zero. Orders placed before the reinstall are not loaded back in.
- Customers who still have the
B2Btag in Shopify are still wholesale customers. A customer who still has a discount tag receives that discount again once you create a discount with the same tag. - The Quick guide checklist on the Dashboard can show steps ticked from before the uninstall.
Worked example of uninstalling and reinstalling Process Wholesale#
A store on the Enterprise plan has two flat discounts (gold and silver), a minimum order amount of 200, and 40 approved wholesale customers tagged B2B and gold or silver. The merchant uninstalls Process Wholesale.
- The
goldandsilverdiscounts, the minimum order amount and the Analytics history are deleted at once. - Process Wholesale does not remove the tags
B2Bandgoldorsilverfrom the 40 customers in Shopify. - A month later the merchant reinstalls, chooses Enterprise again and creates a new flat discount with the tag
gold. Customers who still have thegoldtag receive it again. The minimum order amount has to be set again, and Analytics starts from the reinstall date.
