Small Orders

Small Order is a feature introduced in January 2020 to enable business buyers and sellers to transact faster for orders with smaller quantity. The feature aims to deliver the same experience as a regular business-to-consumer transaction journey.

The standard Request-for-Quotation requires prospective buyers to initiate a request online. A negotiation and confirmation process is required on the platform before the buyer pays for the order. This standard process yields the best deal and benefits for orders which are large and substantial.

Small Orders, however, allows sellers to pre-determined price for sales of small quantity on the platform, prospective buyers can make a transaction and pay for them directly without further requests, negotiation, and confirmation. This will helps to expedite deals which are small in quantity.

To enable this feature, sellers will have to pre-set a Small Order price on the platform to enable instantly.
