[solved] minimum quantities in cart

[ultimamedia]

Hi all, so a basic VM2 problem - if you have a minimum order quantity and put your pricing quantity from that quantity to another for example 500 - 1000
the add to cart button wont work unless you have a price point that starts at quantity of 1
Any idea how to fix?
many thanks,
Chris

Nothing to fix as I see it. Intitial price is per product unit, so in your case you enter the price to apply for the range 1 - 1000 and the next quantity price would start at 1001 (for example). If your minimum purchase is 500 then they buy that 500 (and up to 1000) at the per product price.

Hi Kelvyn but if you do your product pricing to start at quantity 500 for a product the add to cart button disappears....
it only appears if you start quantity at 1

Sorry to bump but does anyone know a solution to this?
Many thanks,

where is the problem with a 1->1000 price and a minimum purchase of 500?

[ultimamedia]

Because customers think they can buy less than 500!

so this product has minimum quantity of 500 - but we have to put a price in for 1 - 500!!!

You must have idiot costomers then. But where is the simple statemt "Minimum order 500"  on the sample page you show?

[GJC Web Design]

you can't go lower than 500 in the quantity input unless you type it - then it is rejected

is the probelem the line 0 - 0    £0.26 in the price table?
Is that rendered by a plugin or something?

if so just use some css to hide the first tr of

.vm-multi-prices table tr:first-child {display:none;}

Hi GJC that would be great but some times we can sell 1 product!!!

[GJC Web Design]

then filter the css by cat id or something...

solved by filtering by minimum order in product object
