๐Ÿงฎ Make Your Products Purchasable in Quantity Increments

Restrict product purchases to fixed quantity multiples โ€” customers can only buy in packs, cases, or bundles you define.

The Quantity Increment feature allows you to set fixed quantity steps for your products, meaning customers can only purchase items in multiples of a specific number โ€” for example, 5, 10, 15, and so on.

This is especially useful for B2B or wholesale stores, where products are often packed or sold in predefined units. By enabling this feature, you can ensure that all orders follow your packaging rules, simplify inventory control, and maintain a professional wholesale experience.

โš™๏ธ How to Enable and Configure Quantity Increments

Follow the steps below to set up Quantity Increments in your store:

Step 1: Access the Feature

  1. Go to Order Management in the app sidebar.

  2. Toggle Quantity Increments ON.

  3. Click Configuration.

  4. Click Add Rule.


Step 2: Define the Scope

Choose which products this increment rule applies to:

  • All products

  • Specific collections

  • Specific products or variants


Step 3: Set the Increment Value

Enter the increment value โ€” the quantity step customers must purchase in:

Value
Allowed quantities

5

5, 10, 15, 20...

6

6, 12, 18, 24...

12

12, 24, 36, 48...


Step 4: Save

Click Save. The rule activates immediately on matching products.


How It Works on the Storefront

  • The quantity selector's increment/decrement buttons step by the configured increment value.

  • If a customer types in an invalid quantity (e.g., 7 when increment is 5), a validation message appears directing them to the nearest valid quantity.

  • The next lower or higher valid quantity is suggested automatically.

Every time I click on the - or + button on the quantity selector, the quantity automatically jumps by 5.

If I try to input 22, for example, a warning message will be displayed under the Quantity box:

Rule Types

There are three levels at which increment rules can be applied:

Level
Description

Variant Quantity

Each variant must be purchased in separate increments. Example: 5 Black + 5 White = valid (not 5 total across both)

Product Quantity

The combined quantity across all variants of a product must be a multiple of the increment

Order Quantity

The total quantity across all qualifying products in the cart must be a multiple of the increment


Example

A beverage distributor sells 6-pack bottles. Setting increment = 6 means:

  • Valid: 6, 12, 18, 24...

  • Invalid: 7, 11, 15... (customer is prompted to adjust)

Benefits

  • ๐Ÿ“ฆ Consistent Order Sizes: Prevent random order quantities that disrupt packaging or logistics.

  • ๐Ÿท๏ธ Professional Wholesale Flow: Align your store with standard B2B purchase behavior.

  • ๐Ÿ”’ Error-Free Checkout: Avoid order mismatches and improve the customer shopping experience.

  • ๐Ÿ“ˆ Boost Average Order Value: Encourage customers to purchase in bulk naturally.


By setting Quantity Increments, you make it easier for customers to shop while ensuring your store runs smoothly and professionally โ€” a perfect combination for growing your wholesale business.
