The Three Rule Types
| Rule | What it does | Common use case |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum quantity | Customers cannot add fewer than X units | Wholesale minimum orders, pack rules, avoiding uneconomical small orders |
| Maximum quantity | Customers cannot add more than X units | Limiting quantities on limited-stock or promotional items |
| Step / pack size | Quantity must be a multiple of X | Products sold in cases (e.g. 6-packs), rolls of set lengths, defined pack sizes |
Where Rules Are Enforced
- Product page — quantity input updates automatically to only allow valid values.
- Add to cart — invalid quantities are blocked.
- Cart quantity update — invalid changes are rejected.
- Checkout — a final check prevents order placement if any line item violates a rule.
Common Workflows
- Store-wide pack size — set the step in site-wide defaults. Everything sold in packs of 6 unless overridden per product.
- A few products with minimums — leave defaults at zero (no restriction), add minimums only to the products that need them.
- Single product in quantities of 12 — set that product’s Min Max tab to minimum 12, step 12.
