WooCommerce Advanced Quantity By MorningTrain

WooCommerce Advanced Quantity (developed by MorningTrain) is a high-utility plugin designed to give store owners granular control over how product quantities are handled in the cart and on product pages.

Standard WooCommerce only allows for whole number increments (1, 2, 3...). This plugin breaks that limitation, making it essential for stores that sell items by weight, length, or in specific bulk sets.

Core Quantity Control Features

Decimal Quantities: Allows customers to buy fractional amounts (e.g., 1.5kg of coffee, 2.75 meters of fabric).

Minimum & Maximum Limits: Set a "floor" or "ceiling" for purchases (e.g., "Must buy at least 5" or "Limit 2 per customer").

Quantity Steps (Increments): Force purchases in specific intervals (e.g., selling soda in 6-packs, where the quantity goes from 6 to 12 to 18).

Price Suffixes: Automatically adds text after the price to clarify the unit (e.g., "$10.00 per kg" or "$5.00 per yard").

Custom Default Values: Change the starting quantity from the default "1" to any number (useful for wholesale where the minimum order might be 50).

Why Use This Plugin?

Industry Versatility: It turns a standard shop into a specialized store for Fabric/Textiles, Hardware/Construction, or Bulk Food.

Reduced Errors: By setting "Step" increments, you prevent customers from ordering quantities you can't ship (like 1.3 items when you only ship boxes of 5).

Improved UX: Clear price suffixes and pre-filled minimums make the shopping experience intuitive for the customer, reducing friction at the "Add to Cart" stage.

Best Use Cases

Grocery & Deli Sites: Selling produce or meat by weight (0.5 lbs, 1.2 kg).

Wholesale Platforms: Where products must be ordered in minimum quantities of 24 or 48.

Home Decor Shops: Selling blinds, carpets, or wallpaper by the square meter or foot.

Inventory Tip for 2025: If you are selling in decimals (like 0.5), make sure your Shipping Settings are updated to match. Most shipping plugins calculate by "unit"; if your unit is 1kg but the customer buys 0.5kg, ensure your weight-based shipping rules account for that fraction to avoid overcharging.
