Follow the steps to limit purchase quantity in WooCommerce.
1. Select Customer Roles to Apply the Restrictions
Look for the ‘Applies To:’ setting in the Rules section.
You will get three options in the dropdown: 'Everyone,' 'Guests,' and 'Specific Roles.' You will need to choose according to your requirements.
Choosing ‘Everyone’ means this rule will be applicable to all users. ‘Guests’ state that this rule will apply to logged-out users only. Whereas the ‘Specific Roles’ will only apply to selected users' roles, such as Wholesale Customers, New Customers, etc.
I want to create this rule for Wholesale users only, so I'll select ‘Specific Roles' from the dropdown. Then, I'll select the ‘Wholesale Customer’ option from the list of user roles.
2. Add Minimum Order Quantity
Search for the ‘Minimum Order Quantity’ option in the ‘Rules’ section. Enter the minimum order quantity you want your buyers to purchase to complete the purchase in this field.
3. Select Maximum Order Quantity
Search for the ‘Maximum Order Quantity’ field in the ‘Rules’ section. Enter the maximum order quantity your buyers can purchase of all products present on your WooCommerce store in this field.
4. Click on the ‘Save Changes’ Button
Click on the ‘Save Changes’ button to save all the current changes.
Final Results
We have now figured out how to limit purchase quantities in WooCommerce. We will now check whether everything is working fine or not. So, let’s check it.
I’m currently in my Demo WooCommerce store, and I added four products to the cart. For your information, I specified ‘5’ as the Minimum Order Quantity and ‘10’ as the Maximum Order Quantity. These are the final results we got with the help of the WooCommerce Min-Max Quantities Plugin.
As you can see, the above image has a popup that states the purchase doesn't meet the minimum order quantity. So, add more to the shopping cart.
When I add more than ‘10’ items to my shopping cart, it again shows a popup asking me to remove some items.
