Minimum Quantity Ordering

[Cheryl]

Hi,

I have a product that has a minimum order of 12 pieces. Meaning, a customer
has to buy AT LEAST 12 pieces. Does ShopSite accommodate this feature?

Thanks,
Cheryl

There is no option to set a minimum order quantity. You could use the
quantity pricing feature (Pro store only) and set the price for up to 12
items at such a high rate that the shopper would never choose that
option. If they must be sold in lots of 12, (ie 12, 24, 36 etc and not
12, 13, 14) then you should make the product a case and set the price to
the 12 item cost. You could also use the quantity as an order option
and start the options at 12 and go on up from there. You would set the
per option pricing to calculate the total for the quantity selected so
the option list would look something like this

Select quantity;n
12;*12
13;*13
14;*14
..
..
..
50;*50

When they select a quantity it will multiply the quantity selected times
the base price. They will need to select a quantity before they
checkout or they will be prompted to make a selection. You can find

There is also a minimum total order amount setting in Manager and Pro
which may or may not work for you depending on your scenario. It does
not control how many of a specific item that must be ordered, but it can
force the shopper to purchase X dollar amount worth of items before they
can checkout. This setting is in Commerce Setup -> Order System ->
Shopping Cart.

Could you use the Shipping API to ensure that 12 items were ordered, and
return status=fail if not?

I've never used the Shippng API, but as far as I know, it's the only one
that can return data to ShopSite.

I guess so, but only if you used the Shipping API (a.k.a. Custom
Shipping Add-on) exclusively. Even if the Shipping API returns a 'fail'
status, other non-api shipping options, if any, should still be
displayed, allowing the shopper to checkout if they choose one of those
other options.
