Woocommerce min max quantity plugin is a powerful tool allowing store managers to apply quantity limits on all or individual product categories and tags. In this tutorial, we want to show you how to set minimum and maximum quantity restrictions for product categories and tags with this plugin.
Set quantity limits to all product categories in WooCommerce
If you want to apply the same quantity limit rule on all categories in your WooCommerce store, follow the below steps:

- Qty groups of: 1
By applying this rule, customers are not able to order less than 5 or more than 10 items from each category in your online shop.
Set quantity limits to Individual product categories in WooCommerce
if you have already set a general rule for all categories in your website but you need to override the restrictions of one or more categories with different rules, set a new rule on a single category, by following the below steps:

Set quantity limits to all product tags in WooCommerce
You can set quantity restrictions for all tags just like all categories as we described above. Let’s make an example to review the steps:

Once you have applied the changes, customers can only order 3 to 6 products from all product tags in your store.
Set quantity limits to individual product tags in WooCommerce
The WooCommerce min max quantity plugin allows you to set different restrictions for individual tags. Let’s suppose that you have created a Bright tag and assigned some products to it. Now, you want to apply a minimum and maximum limit quantity only on the products related to this tag.
To make this happen, follow the below steps:
- Go to Products > Tags to see the list of all tags in your store.
- Find the Bright tag and hover over it to see the Edit option and click on it.
