MOQ and Bulk Pricing Explained: How to Set Wholesale Rates That Sell
15 October 2026 · 5 min read
What is MOQ, how to set bulk price slabs, and how clear quantity-based pricing increases order size for wholesalers.
What does MOQ mean?
MOQ means Minimum Order Quantity — the smallest number of pieces a buyer must take. A toy seller might set MOQ 12 pieces; a garment seller might sell only in sets of 6 sizes.
What are bulk price slabs?
Slabs reward bigger orders with a lower per-piece rate. For example: ₹120 per piece for 12–49, ₹105 for 50–99 and ₹95 for 100+. When buyers can see the next slab, many increase quantity to reach it.
Tips for setting slabs
- Keep 2–3 slabs; more becomes confusing
- Align slabs with carton sizes so packing is easy
- Show the saving clearly — 'Save ₹25 per piece at 100+'
- Review rates every season, not every order
Let the catalog do the maths
In OrdersKaro, the buyer's cart picks the right slab automatically as quantity changes, and the same rule is checked again when the order is placed — so there are no arguments over the rate later.
