How to Set a Minimum Order Quantity in WooCommerce

Set a minimum order quantity #

A minimum order quantity stops customers from buying fewer units than you allow, either per product or across the whole cart. You set it in the Minimum Quantity section of the Min Max Step Quantity Limits Manager for WooCommerce. The store-wide and per-product forms are free.

Minimum Quantity options in Quantity Manager, including the cart total minimum

Steps #

  1. Go to WPFactory > Quantity Manager (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > Product Quantity).
  2. Open the Minimum Quantity section and tick Minimum quantity to enable it.
  3. To require a minimum for each product, set Per Item Minimum Quantity Options > All products (wpfmmsq_min_per_item_quantity). Set to 0 to disable.
  4. To require a minimum total across the cart, set Cart Total Minimum Quantity Options > Cart total quantity (wpfmmsq_min_cart_total_quantity).
  5. Edit the matching Message fields if you want custom wording, then click Save changes.
