MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity)
The minimum number of units a factory or supplier agrees to sell in a single purchase order.
Term Definition
MOQ stands for Minimum Order Quantity. On Chinese wholesale marketplaces, manufacturers set this threshold to cover production setup and bulk packing costs. If an order falls below this requirement, the seller may decline the transaction or quote higher unit pricing.
Usage Example
«The 1688 seller required an MOQ of 50 units per color, so we consolidated sizes into one batch.»
What we do
We negotiate minimum order quantities with Chinese suppliers and purchase goods with 0% commission.
