Bulk quantity

I’m not sure exactly what you’re looking for – could you please explain a bit more? A screenshot would also be great.

Thanks!

I am showing user bunch of product in the form of table (its a kind of food menu)
I want user to enter quantity (number of people) as a whole as oppose to put quantity for each product. for instance user just have to input number of people (one time input somewhere) he need food for and just select the product from the table.

Thanks

Thanks for explaining!

Do you need to track stock for all of those different food items? And does it need to be possible for people to make different selections from that table, i.e. one group wants items 1 and 2, while another group wants items 2 and 3?

stock tracking is not really required as its food item but its always better to have the functionality but you can leave that for now if that’s really complex.
the answer to other point is “yes” different people can order different items, there is a check box to select and people can select random items and just add to cart.

Thanks

Thanks for explaining!

I don’t know of any plugins that have this kind of option built in. The closest I can think of is the Gravity Forms Product Add-ons plugin:
https://woocommerce.com/products/gravity-forms-add-ons/

Otherwise, you’d need to add some custom code into WooCommerce to handle the calculation for multiple people.

This is a fairly complex development topic. I’m going to leave it open for a bit to see if anyone is able to chime in to help you out.

I can also recommend the following places for more development-oriented questions:

Hey Hannah
I found a plugin “WooCommerce Product Add-ons” and I am able to add custom field with price, and its doing the job nearly as I want but I am worried about the quantity, is there any way I can add a place holder or text in front of the quantity field like “Number of guest” on single product page for this product only and so on cart page (for this product only).
I found some code on google but that is a global change for all products.

please look at this link https://bigvaluedeal.com/product/new-product-1/

quantity field should say “number of guest” and after adding to cart quantity column should be “number of guest”

please advise.
Thanks

Hey there,

As with all of the other solutions, Product Add-ons doesn’t know how to set the quantity. However, you might be able to get around this just by adding a field using Product Add-ons called “Number of guests” – then customers could tell you how many guests they’d like. It wouldn’t affect any calculations, but it would tell you.

I hope that helps you in the right direction!

in that case can I hide default woocommerce quantity field (for this product only) bcoz that is not needed and will create confusion ?
also quantity is not needed on cart page (for this product only) as it has no role now.

Thanks

Hey there,

I’m not able to help you further with this – your requirements are so precise that your best bet is to work with a developer to get exactly what you need. I highly recommend contacting one of the services on our customizations page: https://woocommerce.com/customizations/
