Would you like customers to add products in set increments, such as in twos or threes, instead of one at a time? The Quantity Step Control feature in Botiga Pro lets you change the default WooCommerce increment of one to a custom step that fits your store.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to set up Quantity Step Control in Botiga.
Before you get started, make sure you’ve installed and activated the Botiga theme on your WordPress site. If you’re using features from Botiga Pro, ensure that both the Botiga theme and the Botiga Pro plugin are installed and active. Quantity Step Control is a Botiga Pro feature, so this requires Botiga Pro.
Why change the quantity steps?
In most cases you want customers to buy as many products as they like, but there are exceptions. You might run deals for customers who buy more than one item, or offers for couples, friends, or families where a quantity step of two increases engagement with the target group. Here’s a short video of what a product with custom quantity steps looks like on the frontend.
1. Activate the module
First, enable the module from the Appearance » Theme Dashboard page. Find the Quantity Step Control module and click the Activate button.
2. Configure the settings
Once the module is enabled, new Customizer options appear in the Appearance » Customize » General panel.
The four settings are:
- Quantity Min: The minimum allowed value.
- Quantity Max: The maximum allowed value.
- Quantity Step: The increment step for the value.
- Quantity Default: The default value on first page load.
3. Pick a style for your quantity step buttons
You can choose from nine different quantity input styles. The design options sit above the quantity step settings in the Customizer.
4. Configure quantity steps per product
The same options also appear on individual product pages, so you can set different values for each product. To find them, edit a product, scroll down to the Product data box, and open the Inventory section. Here you can set custom step, min, max, and default values for that product.
