Exp:resso Store: Max Order Quantity

Question

Is it possible to set a maximum order quantity with Exp:resso Store? The site I'm working on would like to offer free samples. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

There's no option to set a maximum quantity in the Store field itself but you could do a check for this in your templates with a little javascript to stop users from adding more than X items to their cart by checking for the quantity field

<input type="text" name="item_qty" size="3" value="1" />

If it applies to the order as a whole then you can use checking in your templates:

{if order_qty > '10'} You are only allowed a maximum of 10 items {/if}

I can see that it could be a common use case however.

Answer 2

I had the same situation on a site recently where client was offering samples on a SINGLE product. They needed to limit the samples to a maximum of 2 per order. Depending on how dynamic you need to make it you could do the following:

{if url_title == "your-product-name"}
  <label class="field_label">Qty 
  <select name="item_qty">
        <option value="1">1</option>
        <option value="2">2</option>
  </select>
{if:else}
 <label class="field_label">Qty <input type="text" name="item_qty" size="3" value="1" class="input_sml" /></label>
{/if}
