WMGRs Minimum Order Quantity & Amount for WooCommerce

Description

Minimum Order Quantity & Amount for WooCommerce lets you control how much customers can buy — per product and for the whole order. Set a minimum order quantity (MOQ), a maximum quantity, a quantity step so products sell in packs or cases, and a minimum order amount the cart must reach before checkout.

Out of the box, WooCommerce lets anyone buy one of anything. That is fine for retail, but it does not work for wholesale suppliers who sell by the case, manufacturers with a minimum production run, or shops where small orders cost more to pick, pack and ship than they earn. Without order limits you end up cancelling orders, emailing customers to change quantities, or absorbing the loss on orders that were never worth sending.

This plugin enforces your rules everywhere a quantity can change — on the product page, when an item is added to the cart, when the cart is updated, and at checkout — with clear messages that tell the customer exactly what to fix.

Minimum and maximum quantity per product

• Minimum order quantity — e.g. a minimum of 6 units per product line.
• Maximum quantity — cap how many of an item a single order can contain, for limited stock, launches or trade-only items.
• Storewide defaults — set limits once for the whole store, then override them on individual products.
• Per-product overrides — the fields sit in Product data → Inventory on the product edit screen, right next to stock settings.

Sell in packs and cases with quantity steps

• Quantity step — sell in multiples: packs of 6, cases of 12, pallets of 48.
• Steps count from the minimum — minimum 6 with step 6 allows 6, 12, 18; minimum 5 with step 10 allows 5, 15, 25.
• Quantity box follows the rules — on the product page the quantity input starts at the minimum and the up/down arrows move in steps, so customers rarely make a mistake in the first place.

Minimum order amount for the cart

• Require a minimum cart subtotal before checkout, e.g. 150 for wholesale orders or 25 to cover delivery costs.
• The amount is measured on the cart subtotal before shipping and tax.
• The customer sees how much they need, for example: “The minimum order amount is 150 — your current subtotal is 54.”

Enforced everywhere, explained clearly

• Product page — quantity inputs are limited to the allowed range and step.
• Add to cart — invalid quantities are refused with a message. If the item is already in the cart, the combined quantity is checked.
• Cart and checkout — every line is checked and the minimum order amount is enforced. Checkout is blocked until the cart meets the rules.
• Variable products — limits set on the parent product apply to every variation.
• Works with the classic cart and checkout and with the WooCommerce block cart and checkout.

Lightweight by design

• No extra database tables — settings in one option, product limits in product meta.
• No front-end JavaScript or CSS added to your store.
• Compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).
• Translation ready.

Who it is for

• Wholesale and B2B stores that sell by the case or require a minimum spend per order.
• Food, drink and packaging suppliers selling in fixed multiples.
• Shops with high fulfilment costs that need a minimum order value to make small orders worthwhile.
• Stores running limited releases that cap quantities per customer order.

How it works

1. Install and activate the plugin.
2. Go to WooCommerce → Order Limits and set storewide defaults: minimum quantity, maximum quantity, quantity step and minimum order amount. Leave any field empty to switch that rule off.
3. To give a product its own limits, edit the product, open Product data → Inventory and fill in the minimum quantity, maximum quantity and quantity step.
