For Buyers / Low MOQ
You should not need to order 500 pairs to access quality wholesale footwear. At NIZOWI, our low-MOQ program gives independent boutiques and emerging brands the same factory-direct access — starting at just 12 pairs per style. Test, validate, and scale at your own pace.
Start Your First OrderSmall-batch ordering is not a compromise — it is a strategy. Here is why the world's savviest boutique owners start small.
Order small quantities of multiple styles to see what resonates with your customers. No need to commit to volume before you know what sells.
Keep your cash flow healthy with smaller stock commitments. Reorder best-sellers quickly with our streamlined repeat-order process.
Smaller, more frequent orders mean fresher inventory. Stay on trend without being stuck with last season's stock.
Spot a trend? Our low MOQ lets you act fast — order a test batch, validate demand, and scale your order within weeks.
Combine categories and styles to reach your total order volume. No need to hit the MOQ on every single style in your assortment.
Designed specifically for independent boutiques and small chains that need wholesale access without big-box order volumes.
Minimums vary by construction complexity. Lighter styles have lower minimums — giving you maximum flexibility to experiment.

Many of our largest wholesale partners started with a 12-pair test order. Here is how the journey typically unfolds:
Phase 1
Order 3–5 styles at low MOQ. Gauge customer response. Identify your top performers.
12–60 pairs total
Phase 2
Reorder top sellers at higher quantities. Add 2–3 new test styles. Your average order value grows.
100–300 pairs total
Phase 3
Move to Growth or Volume tier. Access deeper discounts, custom packaging, and exclusive styles.
500+ pairs total
Our lowest MOQ is 12 pairs per style, available for sandals, flats, espadrilles, and slippers. Heels, boots, and sneakers start at 18 pairs per style, and tall boots at 24 pairs. You can mix multiple styles — the per-style minimum applies within each category, and you can combine categories to reach a reasonable total order volume.
Low MOQ orders fall under our Starter pricing tier, which is our base wholesale rate. While you do not receive volume discounts available at higher tiers, the per-unit price is still factory-direct and highly competitive. Many boutiques start with low MOQ orders and graduate to higher tiers as their business grows.
Yes — and it is one of the biggest advantages of the program. Once you validate a style with customers, you can reorder at any quantity. If your total order volume reaches a higher pricing tier, your discount applies retroactively to all styles in that order.
Low MOQ orders typically follow the same production timeline as standard orders — 25 to 35 days. Because the quantities are smaller, they sometimes move through production slightly faster. Rush production (15–20 days) is available for an additional fee on select styles.
Your first order could be as few as 12 pairs. Tell us what styles interest you and we will prepare a no-obligation quote with transparent pricing.
