This powerful plugin allows you to define precise rules for product quantities, enabling you to set minimum and maximum limits, enforce quantity increments, and manage bulk purchasing behavior with ease. Whether you are running a wholesale business, a boutique shop, or a subscription service, this tool helps you optimize your inventory management, improve order accuracy, and drive higher average order values by guiding customer purchasing decisions.

Use Cases / Who It’s For
WPC Product Quantity is designed for any WooCommerce store owner who needs to move beyond the default “one-by-one” quantity selection. It is an essential tool for wholesalers who require minimum order quantities (MOQ) to make shipping and handling cost-effective. It is equally valuable for retailers who sell products in fixed sets or bundles, such as a beverage company that only sells by the case or a fabric store that requires customers to buy in half-meter increments.
By enforcing these rules, you reduce the likelihood of small, unprofitable orders and streamline your fulfillment process. Additionally, the plugin is perfect for flash sales or limited-time promotions where you need to cap the number of units a single customer can purchase to ensure fair distribution of stock.
Setup / How It Works
- Install and Activate: Upload the plugin to your WordPress site and activate it through the Plugins menu.
- Configure Global Settings: Navigate to the plugin settings page to define default quantity rules that will apply to your entire store.
- Apply Product-Specific Rules: For items that require unique handling, edit the specific product in your WooCommerce dashboard and use the dedicated WPC Product Quantity tab to override global settings.
- Define Increments and Limits: Enter your desired minimum, maximum, and step values in the provided fields.
- Save and Test: Save your changes and visit your product page to verify that the quantity input reflects your new rules and that the cart correctly validates customer input.
