Requirements with suppliers (MOQs, Licences, Fees, Pricing)

When you explore partners within SaleHoo's trusted supplier network, you will notice that some suppliers list specific requirements on their profiles. This is a standard practice in retail that helps establish a secure, professional partnership between you and the supplier.

To help you skip the confusion and navigate these requirements easily, here is a breakdown of what you might encounter inside your dashboard:

• Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs): This is the minimum number of items or dollar amount you need to purchase per order. Buying in bulk like this unlocks the lowest wholesale prices, but if you want to test the waters first, about 50% of the suppliers in our network have zero minimum order requirements.
• Reseller Licenses and Tax IDs: Some suppliers request a tax ID or business license to verify that you are a legitimate retail business. While not all partners require this documentation up front, obtaining one is a great step toward building long-term trading relationships.
• Account and Processing Fees: A few specialized suppliers or dropshippers charge a small fee to cover the extra care it takes to handle individual orders on your behalf. You can easily bypass these entirely by using the advanced filter options directly inside your search panel.

We make it easy to see these details at a glance so you can eliminate the guesswork, protect your business from supplier scams, and move forward with confidence. If you want to master the art of negotiating the best terms, check out our free guide on how to contact and engage with suppliers.
