# MOQ & IOC

Control how many units customers can order with minimum and incremental order quantities. Learn what MOQ and IOC do and how to combine them.

In the Mimeeq configurator, we provide two essential settings to control the quantities that end customers can order: **Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)** and **Incremental Order Quantity (IOC)**.

{% hint style="info" %}
You will find these settings in the product admin settings, under the **Pricing and Codes** tab.
{% endhint %}

## MOQ and IOC settings

<table><thead><tr><th width="55.67578125">#</th><th>Setting</th><th>What it does</th><th>Example</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1</td><td><strong>MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity)</strong></td><td>Lets your customers define the minimum quantity that their end customers must order.</td><td>An MOQ of 10 means the end customer is required to purchase at least 10 units of a product.</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td><strong>IOC (Incremental Order Quantity)</strong></td><td>Specifies the quantity increments for orders beyond the MOQ.</td><td>An IOC of 2 means that after meeting the MOQ, the end customer can increase their order in multiples of 2.</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="warning" %}
We do not currently allow for the MOQ to be controlled by rules, but we do plan to add that in the future.
{% endhint %}

## Practical examples

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.mimeeq.com/pricing-and-codes/price-codes-and-promotions/moq-and-ioc.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
