What Is a Private Trading Group?
The open InStockRx marketplace connects you with thousands of verified pharmacies nationwide. A Group is a layer on top of that. It's an invite-only, private trading community where listings and offers are visible only to members you've approved. Think of it as your inner circle on the platform. You can build a group from any set of pharmacies: your long-term buying partners, the stores in your ownership group, your state association members, or a cluster of independents in your area who've agreed to trade within the network first.
Members can list items exclusively within the group before they go to the open market, giving your network first access to available inventory. It's a practical way to keep strong relationships with pharmacies you already know while still having the full marketplace as a backup.
Building a Trust-Based Pharmacy Network
Creating a group takes about two minutes. You name it, set the membership rules, and send invite links to the pharmacies you want to include. Once members join, their listings show up in the group feed first. Many state pharmacy associations use Groups to give their members a first-look marketplace as a membership benefit, without any technical infrastructure required on their end.
Groups work well for chains managing inventory across multiple locations, regional buying clubs, and any situation where you want to trade with pharmacies you know before opening up to the broader marketplace.
Can my pharmacy belong to more than one group?
Yes, there's no limit. You might be in a regional buying group, your state association's private marketplace, and a multi-store chain group at the same time. Each has its own feed and you manage activity in each one independently.
