The WC Min Max Quantities lets you set quantity rules for specific categories. These rules control how much customers can buy from a category or products within it.
Configure Category Limits
To configure category restrictions, go to Products > Categories, choose a category or subcategory, and click Edit. Scroll down to access the following two sections:
Product-Level Rules (within the Category)
These rules apply individually to each product within the selected category:
- Minimum Quantity – Sets the minimum purchase quantity per product.
- Maximum Quantity – Sets the maximum amount allowed per product.
- Minimum Total – Ensures each product’s total price exceeds a minimum amount.
- Maximum Total – Restricts each product’s total price under a maximum threshold.
- Quantity Step – Force purchases in fixed intervals (e.g., 2, 4, 6).
Category-Level Rules
These rules affect the entire category, regardless of the settings for individual products:
- Minimum Category Quantity – Minimum total quantity of products customers must purchase from this category.
- Maximum Category Quantity – Maximum total quantity of products allowed from this category.
- Minimum Category Total – Minimum combined purchase amount required from this category.
- Maximum Category Total – Maximum combined purchase amount allowed from this category.
- Minimum Products – Minimum number of different products from the category that must be purchased.
- Maximum Products – Maximum number of different products from the category that can be purchased.
For all fields above, leave them empty to disable the corresponding rule.
Disable Category Rules
If you’d prefer to ignore category-level rules across your store, go to WooCommerce > Min Max Quantities > General, scroll down to and check the option to disable category rules for all products. This ensures global or product-level settings take full control.
