Purchasing Products with a Minimum/Maximum Quantity – Customer
To purchase a product with a minimum/maximum quantity, at first customer needs to select a product and add the selected product to the cart.
Now, while adding a product that has a minimum amount set then it will show that minimum quantity in the cart. Suppose when the customer buys Beanie, they need to order a minimum of 2 pieces in order to complete the order. So, when they click on the add to cart button, it will automatically add 2 pieces of that product to the cart.
If the customer reduces the quantity from the minimum amount ( in this case to 1 ), then the Proceed to checkout button will disappear. And it will show a message “min quantity X”.
Also, if the number of products exceeds the maximum quantity then the customer also can’t complete the checkout.
Only if the quantity matches the set number, then customers can complete the checkout process.
Now, let’s see how to configure the Enable Min/Max Amount.
Activate “Enable Min/Max Amount” – Admin
