Overview
Have you got products that need to be sold in packs and also have minimum purchase quantities? For example, product XYZ has a Pack Quantity of 4 so your customers need to buy it in multiples of 4 only (4, 8, 12, and so on). But you also want the minimum quantity to be 32. So let's say a customer adds 28 (7 packs) to cart. The number wil automatically change to the minimum quantity. If a number that is not a multiple of 4 is added, e.g., 35, it is changed to the nearest lower valid pack number, e.g., 32, will be added. enter 35. The rules are also enforced when the product is added in cart, when a cart quantity is updated, and again at checkout.
While this feature is implemented by Commerce Vision so it is ready to go, here are the settings to check if the feature suddenly stops working:
For each Role that pack and minimum quantities must be enforced, make sure these functions are set like this:
Force Pack Quantity on Order Entry: Yes
Disable Minimum Order Quantity: No
In Settings → Settings → Orders:
Forcs Orders Lines in Pack Quantities: ticked
Update Widget Options
Widgets that render where customers might add items to the cart contain Increase Quantities in Pack Qty and/or Add Minimum Qty to Cart:
- in a search results list
- on a product detail page
