What does Minimum order quantity mean?
A minimum order quantity is the smallest quantity a supplier accepts for a specified offer or transaction. It is a commercial condition that needs confirmation for the actual package.
Why it matters
Do not infer it from the smallest image on a pricing page or from another supplier’s system. Ask whether it applies to an initial purchase, later top-ups or a particular role. Compare the minimum with realistic consumption and any validity conditions. A package that is inexpensive per unit can still be unsuitable if the required quantity is far beyond the intended activity.
A practical example
For example, a small reseller should ask whether the proposed starting balance and later top-ups have different minimums. The answer affects the workflow and budget, but it does not predict customer demand. Keep the supplier’s confirmed rule rather than treating a hypothetical calculation as evidence that a larger purchase will sell.
