Nº 01 — The Build

What I'm shipping

01.

Order forms that look like fashion buying works.

Build buyer-facing order forms around styles, colors, sizes, seasonal drops, and wholesale quantities instead of forcing buyers into a retail product page or a spreadsheet attachment.

02.

Prepacks, size runs, and MOQs built in.

Define reusable templates like 1S / 2M / 2L / 1XL, case packs, increments, and minimums. Buyers see the rules while ordering, before the math turns into cleanup work.

03.

Shopify draft orders without re-keying.

Review the submitted order, expand prepacks into individual variants, and create a Shopify draft order without typing every size/color quantity back into admin.

Nº 02 — From the Floor

A note from Kyle

It's Friday night. A stockist sends back another edited spreadsheet.

One buyer wants 240 units across five sizes. Another wants prepacks. A third changed two colors but not the total. The order is real, but now someone has to check the MOQ math, expand the size runs, and re-key every variant into Shopify by hand.

I spent years in fashion wholesale manufacturing, production side, inventory management. I've seen the complexity from the other side: the SKU/size/color matrix, the retailer-specific size-run mixes, the prepack logic, the minimums that protect production. What looks like chaos is usually a system trapped in the wrong format.

Hemly is starting with that format problem: fashion wholesale order forms for Shopify brands. Not a giant B2B suite. Not another generic quote button. A buyer-friendly way to collect size-run and prepack orders, validate the rules, and turn the result into a Shopify draft order.

If this is the part of wholesale you still run through spreadsheets, send me your current order sheet. I'll map how Hemly should handle it and reply with notes.

Nº 04 — Frequently Asked

Before you send a sheet

What happens when I send my order sheet?
I review how your wholesale orders work today: sizes, colors, prepacks, minimums, weird edge cases, and where Shopify draft orders become manual work. Then I reply with how Hemly would model that workflow.
Is Hemly live yet?
Not yet. I'm narrowing the product around real fashion order sheets before building the Shopify app. The goal is to design from actual wholesale workflows, not guesses.
Who is this for?
Kidswear, swimwear, activewear, and apparel brands on Shopify that already sell wholesale through size runs, prepacks, case packs, or MOQ rules.
Is this another app that injects code into my theme?
No. The product direction is Shopify-native and theme-safe. The order form should live through app surfaces and app proxy patterns, not by editing your theme files.
How is this different from SparkLayer, BSS, or quote apps?
Those are broader B2B suites or generic quote tools. Hemly is starting smaller and deeper: fashion wholesale order forms with size grids, prepacks, MOQ validation, and Shopify draft-order creation.
What if I already sell on Faire or use line sheets?
Keep them if they work. Hemly is for direct wholesale orders where buyers already know you, send you quantities, and someone still has to turn the order into Shopify admin work.
Who's building this?
Kyle. I worked in fashion wholesale manufacturing, production side and inventory management. Email me directly at kyle@gethemly.com; I read every message.
