How to Set up Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)

What are MOQs?

Minimum order quantities are order restrictions specified by a supplier or store. Typically for eCommerce stores of manufacturers and suppliers, there is a minimum order quantity before production is made.

Generally, the minimum order size is based on the minimum amount needed for the transaction to be profitable for a supplier. MOQs are essential for many wholesalers who rely on large orders to make a profit. Most wholesalers only make small margins on each item they sell. Sometimes this means that small orders can cost them a lot of time and effort to process.
