Some products are not sold one by one: bottles by 6, plants by 3, a limited edition at 2 per customer. If the quantity field lets customers type anything, you end up refunding, calling or splitting orders.
Three useful rules
| Rule | Example |
|---|---|
| Minimum | Samples from 2 units |
| Maximum | Limited edition: 3 per order |
| Multiples | Wine sold by 6, eggs by 12 |
Apply them everywhere
- The product page quantity field starts at the minimum and moves by the step.
- The cart quantity selector follows the same rules.
- Adding more than allowed shows a clear message instead of failing silently.
Show the rule
A short line near the button (“Sold by 6 · maximum 24 per order”) avoids surprises and questions.
Variations
For a product sold in sizes or colors, the rule usually applies to each variation: 6 bottles of each wine of a case, for example.
Limited editions
A maximum per order keeps a launch fair. Combine it with a pre-order if the stock is not there yet.
Limitly adds minimum, maximum and multiples per product, enforced on product pages and in the classic and block cart. Try it on the demo and read about minimum order amounts.
