Minimums and sample windows suppliers will stand by. We keep it on one page sellers can print or share without a login maze.
The MOQ card captures the minimum order quantity, sample allowance, and any split-carton rules a supplier applies to a product line. It gives South African sellers one place to check whether a first buy is testable before cash is committed.
Rosebank reviews usually compare the card against the latest supplier message and the planned sales channel. For coastal stock, teams often note moisture-sensitive packing, sample transit risk, and whether courier handling changes the first order size that makes sense.
Use the card before publishing products on Takealot, a Shopify store, or social commerce stock lists. A printed copy helps when buyers need to confirm inner pack quantities, paid samples, and the point where a supplier moves from trial orders to standard MOQ.
Check the numbers again when carton costs, courier bands, or supplier packing terms shift. Small corrections on the card prevent a test order from turning into dead stock or a margin miss.
Cross-check the wording with FAQ, compare reference material in resources, and line it up with the relevant suppliers page.
Minimums and sample windows suppliers will stand by. Owners matter. An orphaned stack becomes wallpaper real fast.
Revise the card whenever a supplier changes carton counts, paid sample rules, or wholesale thresholds. Dating each version matters when a team is comparing old WhatsApp pricing against a newer PDF.
Rosebank teams often keep a printed copy next to the latest supplier terms during review sessions. Coastal operators may add notes about damp storage, tape quality, or sample packaging if those affect a first order outcome.
Keep the MOQ card aligned with the supplier shortlist and the intended selling channel. A product that works for direct website orders may fail on a marketplace if the minimum buy is too high for an opening run.
At review time, the page is printed, marked up, and matched against current supplier messages before anyone places a trial buy. That creates a dated record of the MOQ, sample terms, and any exceptions discussed in the room.
Where the card conflicts with supplier paperwork, the supplier wording takes priority until the page is corrected. The goal is to stop listing and buying teams from working off two different minimums.
Notes from Durban or Cape Town checks can stay on the paper copy until the team agrees they are standing rules. Once confirmed, those details should be typed into the clean version so the next buyer sees the same conditions.
