On my site I don't need the ability to have more than one product bought.

They are digital products.

Is there a way to turn off the ability to have quantity?
I know I can simply hide the class but I need the ability of the store to recognize that you cannot buy two of the same.

No feedback on this one. Is there not a way of doing this?

You would think that if you are selling digital products, for instance a manual, that you would only allow it to be bought once. If the customer accidentally bought two, that a message or error would appear and not allow this.

There are sites that do this. Photo sites for one.

Hi Terry,

You can remove the Quantity box from the product, by removing 'quantity' from the $productpagelayout list in your includes.php file.

This may not be exactly what you want, but may help? I don't think it would stop the customer from adding the same item to the cart more than once, but at least the default would be that they only get one item when adding to cart.

The full list of items available is:
$productpagelayout='productimage, addtocart, productid, sku, productname, manufacturer, discounts, reviewstars, instock, custom1, description, options,dateadded, listprice, price, currency, quantity, custom2';

and you can read more about how to use them here https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/phphelp/ecommplus/parameters.asp#csslayout

Ellen's suggestion is the only built in option, but of course that won't stop them from adding to the quantity in the cart itself, although I think that would be unusual.

If you lust have this feature, I can see a path to it, but it would require custom coding, so you might want to post in the developers forum.

It's also not a bad idea to post in the suggestions forum to gauge interest and that's where (often) new ideas are picked up from.

Thanks,
David

Yes thanks Ellen and Dave. I knew about the $productpagelayout. I think I'll put that down to the suggestions forum.
