What it means

QD (Quantity Discount) are price discounts offered by suppliers when ordering larger quantities. Typical QDs are 5% for 100+ units, 10% for 500+ units. QDs reduce PCOGS and improve margins but require higher inventory levels. Sellers should calculate QD economics and decide whether higher order quantities deliver positive ROI.
