What is the minimum quantity per product?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Setting a minimum order quantity per product <\/strong>is a smart method for selling your products in a way that every sale worth it. Using this feature helps you set the minimum quantity of each product that your customers can order to make sense for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, suppose that you are selling stickers in your online shop and to make the process profitable for your business, customers must order 50 stickers at least. So, you need to set a minimum quantity <\/strong>for printing stickers per order, otherwise, the printing process costs too much and no profit remains for your business in that purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maximum product quantity limit <\/strong>is another way for stock management. If you set a maximum quantity for your products, it means customers can not order more than the specified threshold from your store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n let\u2019s take a look at a real-life example to give you an idea of how popular brands use this feature to manage their requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you visit Walmart’s website, you can see that they restrict the maximum quantity of popular items to force customers to order less than the specified amount from their shop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It makes sense for them because many customers are visiting their websites and if the earlier visitors can order as many items as they want, most of the items are consistently out of stock for other visitors. By setting up a maximum order quantity per product, they ensure that all visitors have the same portion of the stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n WooCommerce, by default, has no option to set a limit for adding any product quantity to the customer cart. The only option is when you enable product stock, which means when the product is out of stock, it is no longer available for ordering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, the only solution to set WooCommerce limit quantity per product is using the WooCommerce min max quantity plugin<\/a>. <\/strong>In this plugin, you can input any quantity and let WooCommerce set minimum quantity per product or maximum quantity per product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s go through a step-by-step guide to see how you can enforce quantity limits in the WooCommerce max min quantity plugin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The easiest way to get started is to download the .ZIP file of the WooCommerce min max plugin and buy a license. Then, follow these steps to install and activate it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have activated the plugin, it is time to open the main page by clicking on the Min Max Quantity<\/strong> menu in WordPress Dashboard<\/strong> > iThemeland<\/strong> as shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, there are some easy steps that you have to follow based on the WooCommerce limit quantity per product rule you need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s review them one by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most common use case of WooCommerce limit quantity per product is applying the same rule on all products in your store. It means when customers want to buy any product from your store, they need to meet the requirements of the specified product quantity rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To make this happen, follow the below steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s make an example to better understand how the min max quantity plugin works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s suppose that you are selling clothes in your online store and paying the cost of shipping and other costs is only profitable for you if customers purchase more than 3 products in each order from your shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this situation, you need to set the minimum quantity per product to 3 by following the below steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n By applying this rule, the customers can only see the cart page and proceed to the checkout page if they add more than 3 quantities from each product to their cart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In some cases, you just need to set a quantity limit on one of the products in your store. To do this, you just need to go to the edit page of that product by navigating to WordPress Dashboard > Products<\/strong> and press the Edit<\/strong> option after hovering over the targeted product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, we tried to set a rule for Hoodie, Tshirt, Cap as illustrated below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the Edit<\/strong> page, scroll down to find the Min\/Max settings<\/strong> tab in the Product Data<\/strong> box:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click on the Min\/Max settings<\/strong> and follow the below steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n By applying this rule to your store, customers are forced to order 2 or 4 quantities of Hoodie, T-shirt, and Cap product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are selling different variations of a product in your store, you may need to set different min max quantity rule for each variation. In this case, you can follow the below steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, suppose that you want to let customers order 4 to 8 products from grey and medium variation in groups of 4 items. So, you need to set the items as follows: <\/p>\n\n\n\n MINMAXiT – Min and Max Quantity for WooCommerce<\/p>\n\n\n\n The easy way to set limit quantity per product in WooCommerce<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you need to add a quantity limit rule to more than one product in your store, the WooCommerce min max quantity plugin makes it easy for you by allowing Bulk Actions. In this way, you can apply the same rule to multiple products at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s go through the step-by-step by step guide for applying quantity product limit to multiple products in WooCommerce: <\/p>\n\n\n\n In this example, we want to let customers order more than 6 quantities from some of the products in the online store. To make this happen, we need to set the product minimum quantity <\/strong>to 6 for the targeted products by following the below steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the rule is applied to the selected products, you can see the plugin added a separate row for each product in the Bulk Action<\/strong> list. It makes editing or removing each rule so simple for store managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the amazing features of the WooCommerce min max quantity plugin is the options designed in the Notification<\/strong> tab for managing the messages displayed to the customers on the product page and cart page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The plugin will show some messages to the customers on the Cart page<\/strong> when the quantity of products they have added to their carts is not in accordance with the specified rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, store managers can enable to show activated on the Product page<\/strong> and when the customers click on the Add to Cart <\/strong>button. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The good news is that all texts set by default in the plugin can be customized by the user. It is possible to add any text as well as allow placeholders in the text box to be displayed to the customers in different situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have set up the required notifications, the customers will see them in the specified area. For example, let\u2019s suppose that you have applied the limit quantity per product rule of example 1<\/a><\/strong> in your store:<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, the customers will receive the following notifications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, when customers order the right quantity of products:<\/p>\n\n\n\nMinimum quantity per product example<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
