How Glovesnstuff Generated £1,309 Within Hours of Launch Using Pareto’s Custom Mix and Match Widget

Within just a few hours of their website going live, Glovesnstuff had already generated £1,309.72 in revenue, with an average order value of £163.72 and a 3% conversion rate. Not month-end numbers. Not a campaign result. That was day one.

Here is how a UK safety equipment brand rebuilt its buying experience around self-service bulk pricing and saw results almost immediately.

About Glovesnstuff

Glovesnstuff has been selling safety gloves, PPE, safety footwear, workwear, and hi-vis workwear to sole traders, purchase managers, and small to mid-sized businesses across the UK since 2006.

Their philosophy has always been simple: show buyers the price, show the bulk discount, let them check out. No calls, no emails, no waiting. Nearly two decades in, that commitment to transparency is still the backbone of everything they do.

So when they decided to rebuild the site, the goal was clear. They needed a buying experience that matched how their customers actually shop, fast, self-serve, and with no friction.

The Challenge: Bulk Ordering Was Still Too Manual

Glovesnstuff’s customers are not casual shoppers. They are purchase managers ordering 3 mediums, 5 larges, and 2 XLs, often in multiple colours, for an entire team. The traditional quantity break widget they had in place was not built for that.

Standard quantity break tools show flat per-SKU discounts. They do not support mixed-variant orders. So buyers had to add each size one by one, with no unified running total and no live feedback on how the price was changing as they added more.

Volume discounts existed, but they were invisible at the point of actually building an order. Buyers had no way of seeing how close they were to the next pricing tier until after the fact.

The obvious alternative was a request-a-quote form. But that was never on the table.

“A quote form adds friction. It slows things down and puts a barrier between the customer and the purchase. We have always been upfront about pricing. Bulk discounts are clear, no hidden costs. The widget just makes that easier to see and act on, all in one place. Self-service is not just faster, it builds trust.”

Without a proper bulk builder, buyers who wanted to order more simply did not have a smooth way to do it. The site was leaving money on the table.

The Solution: Mix and Match Variant Builder by Pareto

When Glovesnstuff came to Pareto, the brief was straightforward. Build something that works the way B2B buyers think, not the way most e-commerce tools assume they think. And do it fast.

What followed was not a months-long implementation. The entire custom solution was scoped, built, and live within a few days.

From day one, the process was hands-on. Ed reached out to the Pareto team via 24/7 live chat whenever something came up, and followed up on WhatsApp when he just needed to drop a quick message to tweak something or flag a change. No support tickets, no queues. Just fast, direct communication with people who understood the brief and acted on it.

The build itself covered three key areas.

1. Mapping the discount logic.

Glovesnstuff sells gloves across dozens of size and colour combinations, each with its own protection category. Before writing a single line of code, Pareto’s team worked through the product catalogue with Ed to get the wholesale pricing tiers right. The right discount structure at the right quantity thresholds, built around actual margins and buying behaviour.

2. Deploying the mix and match variant builder across the store.

The widget was not just placed on product pages. It was also integrated into the quick view, so B2B buyers browsing the catalogue could build and price a multi-variant order without ever leaving the collection page. Every touchpoint where a buyer might decide to add more was covered. The solution was also built to be fully compatible with Glovesnstuff’s existing Shopify apps, no conflicts, no workarounds needed.

3. Launching a seamless, reliable buying experience.

The new site went live with the mix and match builder as a core part of the wholesale buying flow, not an add-on bolted on at the end. Buyers could select different sizes and colours in one place, watch the per-unit price drop in real time as they added more, and check out without a single extra step. Fast, reliable, and built to handle the way professional buyers actually shop.

What Made the Biggest Difference

When we asked Ed which part of the widget his buyers would appreciate most, the answer was immediate.

“The mix and match variant builder, no question. Our buyers are not ordering one size. They are kitting out teams. 3 mediums, 5 larges, 2 XLs, maybe a few in a different colour. Before, that was painful. Now they can build the whole order in one go, see the running total, and watch the price per unit drop as they add more. The instant pricing is great, but the variant builder is what actually changes how people buy from us.”

Ed, Glovesnstuff

There are a few reasons why this worked so well for a B2B audience specifically.

Multi-size ordering in a single flow. Buyers no longer need to add each variant separately. The whole kit gets built in one interaction, which is exactly how a purchase manager thinks about an order.

Live price-per-unit feedback. As the quantity grows, the unit price drops in real time. The value of ordering more becomes obvious without any mental math on the buyer’s side.

Transparent pricing built into the UI. Glovesnstuff has always been upfront about costs. The widget makes that promise visible and tangible at exactly the moment a buyer is deciding how much to order.

The Results

The site went live. And within a few hours, Ed was already in the inbox with numbers.

• £1,309.72 in revenue generated within hours of launch
• £163.72 average order value
• 3% conversion rate

A £163.72 AOV on day one tells you the mix and match builder is doing exactly what it was designed to do. Buyers who came to pick up a few pairs of gloves are leaving with a full team kit instead.

“I am pleased to announce the website is officially live. Just a few hours after launch, your widget helped us generate £1,309.72 in revenue with an average order value of £163.72 and a 3% conversion rate. It works really well, and we are ready for the case study!”

Why This Worked

Pareto’s role here was not just installing a widget. It was understanding what Glovesnstuff had always stood for, radical pricing transparency, no barriers between the buyer and the purchase, and then building something that reflected that from the ground up.

The result is a storefront where the checkout experience feels native to how real PPE buyers think. See the price, build the order, get it done.

If your store sells to B2B buyers, teams, or anyone ordering in bulk across multiple variants, this is exactly the kind of buying experience that moves the needle.
