our call
Start with Wholesale Helper — highest vibe code, weakest moat.
Logik.io
Building a basic conditional form UI is easy, but Logik.io is a headless constraint solver with real-time rule evaluation and dynamic Bill of Materials (BOM) outputs. Rebuilding high-speed nested rule resolution with a non-technical admin UI requires significant software engineering that quickly spirals beyond an AI prompt.
you can rebuild
- Step-by-step visual product configuration frontend wizard
- Basic conditional field visibility rules (if X selected, show Y)
- Frontend price accumulation based on selected variant attributes
- Standard JSON attribute payload generation for cart items
- Simple image swapping based on selected option variations
what you lose
- Sub-100ms headless rule engine built for enterprise catalog scale
- Visual drag-and-drop rule builder for non-developer product managers
- Dynamic Bill of Materials (BOM) multi-line creation for production ERPs
- Native multi-way synchronization with Salesforce CPQ and SAP
- Multi-attribute dynamic pricing matrices with volume dynamic recalculations
real moats
- High-performance constraint satisfaction engine evaluated at millisecond scale
- No-code administrative UI for operations and product teams to update complex business rules
- Deep bidirectional sync hooks into enterprise CRMs and ERP production systems
open source escape hatches

Wholesale Helper
Wholesale Helper's features reduce down to mapping Shopify customer tags to price override matrices. Using modern Shopify Functions for cart discounts and Theme App Extensions for bulk order forms, a custom implementation replaces the monthly app fee while removing third-party script bloat.
you can rebuild
- Tag-based wholesale price overrides and percentage discounts
- Tiered volume and quantity break pricing rules
- Bulk order grid interface for multi-variant SKU additions
- Collection and page gating based on logged-in customer tags
- Minimum purchase quantity and order value enforcement per customer group
what you lose
- Turnkey theme installer that injects scripts into non-OS 2.0 themes
- Out-of-the-box non-technical UI for CSV import/export of price lists
- Dedicated customer support for resolving third-party theme JavaScript conflicts
- Pre-built fallback mechanisms for legacy draft-order checkout workflows
- Zero-maintenance updates when Shopify alters store Admin UI standards
real moats
- Extensive library of legacy theme integration handlers
- Pre-bundled app ecosystem (Pricing, Order Form, Lock Manager)
- No-code admin interface for merchants lacking developer resources
