Rule Types

MOQ Manager supports three target types. Each rule has a title, a minimum quantity, and one or more targets.

Product Rules#

A product rule targets a specific product. The minimum quantity applies to the combined total of all variants of that product in the cart.

Example: A rule with MOQ 10 on "Custom Circle Stickers" — if the customer adds 6 Regular and 5 Laminated, their total is 11 and they pass.

Best for: Enforcing a blanket minimum on a single product regardless of variant.

Variant Rules#

A variant rule targets one specific variant of a product. Only that variant's quantity counts toward the minimum — other variants of the same product are unaffected.

Example: A rule with MOQ 10 targeting only "Laminated sticker" — adding 6 Laminated fails, but adding 10 Regular stickers (a different variant) is unaffected.

Best for: Wholesale tiers where specific finishes, sizes, or options have their own minimum.

Collection Rules#

A collection rule applies to every product in a collection. Products are linked to a collection rule via an internal metafield (moq.rule_id) that the app sets automatically when you save the rule.

Best for: Enforcing minimums across a large catalogue without configuring each product individually.

How Multiple Rules Interact#

There is no priority system. All matching rules are evaluated independently. If a product is covered by both a variant rule and a product rule, both will be checked at checkout and either can produce an error.

Disabling a Rule#

There is no per-rule toggle — a saved rule is always active. To stop enforcing a rule, delete it from the MOQ Rules page.
