Why merchants need this

The challenge and how Nex MOQ solves it

The Problem

Without order limits

A stolen credit card places a $3,000 order on a Sunday night. By Monday, the merchandise is shipped and the chargeback is filed. One fraudulent order wipes out a week of profit — and you eat the cost.

Lost revenue, compliance risk, or unfair access
The Solution

With Nex MOQ

Cap the cart total so orders above your risk threshold are blocked automatically. Legitimate large orders go through draft orders or custom invoicing — automated checkout stays protected.

Automated enforcement at checkout
