See every featureMOQ Validator lets you enforce minimum order quantities at the variant level using metafields. Apply rules only to products tagged with MOQ and optionally override limits with a custom “available override quantity.” Built with Shopify Functions, it blocks invalid quantities at checkout while keeping the buying experience smooth. Perfect for wholesalers and bulk sellers.
MOQ Manager lets you set minimum and maximum order quantities per product. You can also enforce quantity increments (for example, 4, 8, 12).
