Rule Types and Priority
Understand how product, variant, and collection rules interact with each other.
The Three Rule Types
MOQ Manager supports three scopes. When multiple rules could apply to the same product, the most specific one wins.
Product Rules
A product rule sets the minimum for all variants of that product unless a variant rule overrides it.
Best for: Setting a blanket MOQ on a single product.
Variant Rules
A variant rule applies only to one specific variant (e.g., size M of a t-shirt).
Best for: Wholesale tiers where different sizes have different minimums.
Collection Rules
A collection rule applies to every product in a collection.
Best for: Enforcing wholesale minimums across a large catalogue without configuring each product individually.
Priority Order
When more than one rule matches, MOQ Manager follows this priority:
- Variant rule (highest priority)
- Product rule
- Collection rule (lowest priority)
If a product belongs to multiple collections with different rules, the rule from the collection with the higher minimum quantity wins.
Disabling a Rule Temporarily
Toggle a rule to Inactive from the dashboard. The rule is saved but not enforced — useful for sales periods.
