What is MOQ and how do I calculate it?

MOQ is the minimum order quantity a supplier will accept. It drives your unit price and total spend, so check it before committing. Supplymo's MOQ calculator helps you model quantity against cost.

MOQ (minimum order quantity) is how many units a supplier requires per order. On 1688 it varies a lot by product, supplier, and whether you accept mixed variants.

Why MOQ matters

  • It sets the smallest order you can place, which affects your cash outlay.
  • Unit price often drops at higher quantities — so MOQ and price are linked.
  • Variants (size/color SKUs) can each carry their own minimums.
  • A high MOQ may push you to a sample order first to reduce risk.
