Quantity steps

    Hi everybody!
    I’ve been wondering about this for a long time and I can’t find a good solution and I’ve decided to ask here. And before I even ask – please note that I’m not a web dev, I am just a designer who has to make an e-store for their family business (a printing service).
    So… I am trying to set up flyers product page in my store, and as you can imagine this kind of product is sold rather in big amounts, so I don’t want to allow my clients to buy less than a 100 of them, or a weird amount like 2184 flyers… I’ve been wondering if there is a way to set up “quantity steps” (for example the min. quantity is 100, then the next step is 200, then 300 etc.), but only for chosen products? I’ve tried to use a few different plugins, but each of them bugs in a different way. I also thought of making a dropdown quantity menu, but I can’t really make it work.
    Does anybody have an idea how it can be done? I can’t come up with any solution, help!

    Hi @brachmanskamaria,

    I know you said you tried a few plugins already, but this is my suggestion: https://woocommerce.com/products/advanced-product-quantity/
    The WooCommerce Product Quantity plugin allows you to do the things you mentioned (ie, Limit minimum and maximum product and cart quantities, Configure interval-based quantity (e.g., 2, 4, 6)).

    Thank you,
    Joey

    Hi @jricketts4, thanks a lot for your suggestion. I saw this plugin previously, but it’s a bit too expensive for me, so I can’t really use it :(. Does anybody have any other ideas that would be slightly cheaper to implement?

    @brachmanskamaria – there are plenty of other options out there to get you started while the budget is lower. Keep us in mind in the future, as a plugin license comes with dedicated support and updates. Nonetheless, here are some other options that may get you by for now:

    1. https://wordpress.org/plugins/product-quantity-for-woocommerce/
    2. https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-min-max-quantity-limit/
    3. https://wordpress.org/plugins/minmax-quantity-for-woocommerce/
    4. https://codeastrology.com/woocommerce-min-max-quantity-step-single-products/

    I don’t know how well any of these work, since they are free and open-source, but they could be worth a try on a staging or test site. 😁

    Thanks,
    Joey

    We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.

    Howdy!

    I’m in the exact same situation like @brachmanskamaria

    I do have a print store and I’m trying to find a way to set up “quantity steps”

    But, I want to set the steps on specific quantities, not just a fixed interval of 5 or 10 or any number.
    I wanna choose the step numbers myself.

    For example I want the min. quantity is 100, then the next step is 250, then 500, 1000,…

    I’ve also checked at the same plugins as you mentionned above, but couldn’t find a way to do what I want.
    I’ve tested “Product Quantity for WooCommerce” but it doesn’t allow that.

    So, I thought maybe trying “Advanced Product Quantity” from woocommerce, but as there is no demo, I don’t wanna pay for nothing…

    Does this plugin would work as I want ? can you confirm that ?

    Or would you recommand any other plugin that allow that for sure ?

    I have also found this : https://aceplugins.com/making-the-quantity-field-a-dropdown-in-woocommerce/
    Which is exactly what I want. But I’d prefer not using code. better use a plugin.

    Thanks in advance for help!
    Regards

    BTW, I’m currently using quantity as an attribute, so it allows me to custom the fixed quantities, which was good so far. But some of my products have more than 1000 variations now, and it make the product page very slow.

    So I’d like not using this trick anymore. That’s the reason I’m looking for a plugin.
