Title: Product Quantity and Steps
Post by: jwdltd on April 30, 2014, 14:11:26 PM
Hi, I have been looking for an answer to the following on VM2

I need to sell a minimum quantity of 10 items but then the quantity can go up in steps of 1

I have set the minimum quantity value to 10 and the steps to 1 but on the front end the quantity value still starts at 1 and allows the client to add this quantity to the cart although it shows 0 value until the client manually selects a quantity of 10.

Is there a way that the quantity value can start at 10 but still go up in steps of 1 after.

in VM2.6 on the Product Status tab for each product you can enter a value for Minimum Purchase Quantity    and for Purchase Quantity Steps, and assuming you use Fancybox then the popup will display the minimum required order when someone tries to add less.

Thank you for the repsonse.

I have checked that the Minimum Purchase and Quantity steps are set correctly which they are.

Is Fancybox a plugin that I need to install as an addition to make the pop up message work.

No fancybox is a script installed by default, but some people turn it off in Configuration/Templates which stops the popup.

Thank you again for your response and sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

I have since switched on FancyBox which results in the pop up not showing but going to another page saying that the minimum quantity is 10, however, when Fancybox is on I loose functionality of the custom fields on all products.

The URL is http://hivisclothing.com.

You will see that the minimum purchase quantity has been set, but if a client selects a quantity less than the specified, it does not bring up a message about the minimum requirements.
