WooCommerce Advanced Quantity 3.0.6

WooCommerce Advanced Quantity is a specialized category of plugins designed to give you precise control over how customers select product quantities. By default, WooCommerce only allows users to increase or decrease quantities by 1, with no limits on minimums or specific "step" increments.

As of 2026, these plugins are essential for wholesale (B2B) stores, stores selling items by weight (decimal quantities), or businesses that package items in fixed sets (e.g., "sold in packs of 6").

🚀 Core Functionality

Most "Advanced Quantity" plugins (such as those by Addify, MorningTrain, or WPFactory) provide four main features:

Min/Max Limits: Force a minimum purchase (e.g., "Must buy at least 5") or cap a maximum (e.g., "Limit 2 per customer").

Quantity Steps (Intervals): Restrict purchases to specific multiples. For example, setting a step of 6 means a customer can only buy 6, 12, 18, etc.

Decimal Quantities: Allows selling products by weight or length (e.g., 1.5kg or 0.25 meters).

Quantity Dropdowns: Replaces the standard number input with a clean dropdown menu containing only allowed quantities.

⚙️ How to Set It Up (Typical Workflow)

Global Rules: Navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Product Quantity. Here you can set a store-wide minimum (e.g., "No order can be less than 2 items").

Product Level: Edit a specific product and look for the "Quantity Rules" tab in the Product Data box.

Minimum: Set to 10.

Maximum: Set to 50.

Step: Set to 5.

Result: Customer can only select 10, 15, 20... up to 50.

User Role Restrictions: (Premium feature) Set it so that "Wholesale" users must buy a minimum of 100, while "Retail" customers have no minimum.

💡 Pro Tip: Cart-Level Restrictions

If you want to ensure the entire cart meets a certain quantity (e.g., "You must have at least 12 items in your cart to checkout, regardless of which products they are"), look for plugins that support Cart-Based Rules. This is common in the wine and beverage industry where shipping is optimized for boxes of 6 or 12.
