Quantity steps / Fixed quantities

    Howdy!

    I do have a print store and I’m trying to find a way to set up “quantity steps” or more specifically “fixed quantities” in the woocommerce quantity field, and as a drop down menu.

    I need to set fixed quantities for different products, with min 1 to max 500 quantity.

    For example, product A : 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2500,…
    Product B : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 50…

    But, as you can see in examples above, I want to set the steps on specific quantities, not just a fixed interval of 5 or 10 or any number.
    I wanna choose the step numbers myself.

    I’ve checked at the “Advanced Product Quantity” plugin from woocommerce, but I’m not sure that it allows the set of fixed quantities, but just fixed interval.
    And there is no demo, I don’t wanna pay for nothing…

    Does this plugin would work as I want ? can you confirm that ?

    Or would you recommand any other plugin that allows that for sure ?

    BTW, I’m currently using quantity as an attribute, so it allows me to custom the fixed quantities, which was good so far. But some of my products have more than 1000 variations now, and it makes the product page very slow.

    So I’d like not using this trick anymore. That’s the reason I’m looking for a plugin.

    I have also found this : https://aceplugins.com/making-the-quantity-field-a-dropdown-in-woocommerce/
    Which is exactly what I want. But I’d prefer not using code. better use a plugin.

    Thanks in advance for help!

    Another option you can use here, is making the product a variable product, with the quantity field being an attribute.

    Here’s how that would look:

    You can then create a variation for each of those values, and define a different price for each:

    (in this screenshot, it shows the price for the 250 quantity variation, $500)

    If you then make sure that the “Sold Individually” setting (in the “Inventory” tab of the product editing page) is checked, it will then end up being like this:

    Admittedly, it’s a bit of a hack, but it might be what you’re looking for without the use of codes or plugins.

    Hello Senff,
    Thanks for your help (BTW, I can’t see your reply here, only in my email box)

    Actually, as I mentionned in my previous message, this is currently exactly what I do.
    Indeed I use the quantity as attribute.

    The thing is, as you said it’s a big headache, plus the problem is that it makes hundreds of variations.
    So, firstly it takes me hours and days to add prices to each variation
    finally, and not least, it makes my product pages very slow…

    I’m very surprised that woocommerce doesn’t allow that.
    It’s a very very commom feature that we can see on many wholesale websites.

    If you or anyone else got a better idea ? ??

    Kind regards

    My apologies, I missed the part where you said that’s exactly what you do!

    Indeed it would take a bit of work to set that all up, but you can work around that by editing a .CSV file, put your products/variations in there, and then import it to your site. Though, again, that could come across as “hacky” as well.

    Thas aside, I’m afraid there is no other way than to use a plugin, or use custom code.
