Minimum order and quantity step

Setting the minimum order and the step of adding items to the cart

Updated over a week ago

For each product on the website, you can set the minimum number of units to order, as well as the step of adding a product to the cart. The function is useful primarily for those who sell products in packages and need to display the price per unit on the product page.

This option is available starting from the Standard plan.

How to turn this option on

You can enable/disable this option in the SettingsGeneral settingsProducts section.

Minimum order and quantity step settings in the admin panel — Cartum

Settings for products

The values of these parameters are set in the product properties, in the Minimal quantity to order and Quantity step fields.

Minimum order and quantity step in the product properties — Cartum

With the specified settings, the minimum possible order of an item is 6 units, and each time you add an item to the cart, 3 units will be added.

Warning: the quantity step takes precedence over the value of the minimum order.

For example, if a product is configured with a quantity step of 4 units, and the minimum order is 10 units, then 12 units will be added to the cart when the customer first clicks Buy now.

Import of minimum order and quantity step values

You can add or change these parameters in bulk using import. The import table must contain the SKU column and columns with the values of the minimum orders and quantity steps.
