We have a sign maker who wants to restrict order quantities to specific amounts such as 5, 10, 25, 50 and on.
When we create an Order Quantity Option that offers just those quantities, during checkout the first Checkout screen (image below) shows 0 price (because the price is NOT on the product screen) and a quantity of 1, then below that it shows the Quantity ordered via prod options, and we're concerned that the customer may get confused.


Is there some way to address making that checkout screen less confusing?

I assume we can use a different proddetail screen that would NOT show the Quantity field while ordering.

Hi Tim, try this setting

quote:

---

Hide product option price difference

By setting the switch . . .
$hideoptpricediffs=true;
. . . you can hide the price difference in the product option drop down menus and the checkout page. Only the total price will be shown.

Thank You for that, dbdave ... is there a way to address the remaining "disagreeing quantity fields"? Remove the "1" or get it to agree with the "25"?

Hi Tim, I don't think so, not with the scenario you are wanting for force the quantities like that.
I don't personally use the alt-prod-id feature, but you could try that and see if it does what you want.

Thanks,
David

Tim,
My Minimum product quantity mod allows you to set a minimum quantity OR set multiples of quantity at the product level.
So if you set the quantity at 5 it will allow for 5,10,15 etc.

That sounds great, Mike.

Let me clarify this a little so I can take it to our client: do the quantity breaks have to use a particular multiplier, like 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, etc? Or can we create and enforce arbitrary quantities like 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, and those are the ONLY order quantities that can be placed?
