Limit maximum quantity of free products in Woocommerce cart

    Hello,

    My client has asked for the ability to offer free samples of their variable products on their Woocommerce online store, with a maximum of 1 of each unique product sample and 5 of any of the samples on their order.

    I’ve achieved part of this by adding an extra “Free Sample” variation to each product and then using a free Min/Max quantity plugin to limit the amount of each individual free sample to 1 per order, please see the following screenshots:

    So far I haven’t established a way to limit the maximum number of any combination of the “Free Sample” variations to 5 though. The only way I can see is by limiting the total number of free products (i.e. price = ￡0) per order to 5, or alternatively by assigning a specific shipping class to each variation (i.e.”Free Samples”) and then somehow limiting the amount of products assigned with this shipping class in each order to 5. Is this possible?

    Cheers,

    M.

    Hey @mlbrock,

    It sounds like you are on the right track, though, I’m not aware of a free plugin that can do everything your client is asking for. Our Mix and Match Products extension adds a “group” feature that allows you to limit the number of products being purchased from that group, which is what I would recommend taking a look at.

    Hi Shaun,

    Thanks for your reply, good to hear from a developer :).

    This is a different idea than I had in mind but certainly has some interesting features so I’ll bear it in mind.

    Yes I’m aware that there may not be a free option available we’re quite open to the idea of a paid solution if it offers the type of functionality we’re looking for but so far nothing has come around that matches our exact interest. It may be that a custom coded solution is the answer or that we can reach some kind of compromise with functionality.

    Cheers,

    Hi @mlbrock,

    Thanks for getting back.

    With regards to a custom solution, if you require further assistance with that, you could hire a web developer to help create that portion of the code. If you would like to investigate that possibility further, you could reach out to some of the official WooCommerce development partners via this link below:

    Hope this helps.
