Config Category

table product

When the admin configures a quantity rule for a category, the rule applies to all products assigned to that category as their default category. Each product within this category must meet the specified quantity requirements, whether minimum, maximum, multiple, or limit quantity rules. This approach ensures consistent quantity rules for all products grouped under the same category.
 
  1. Minimum Quantity

    If a minimum quantity is set for a category, each product within that category must meet the minimum quantity requirement.

    Example:
    Suppose the "Stationery" category has a minimum quantity rule of 3. Any product assigned to "Stationery" (e.g., pens, notebooks) must be ordered in quantities of at least 3. If a customer tries to add only 2 pens or notebooks, they won’t be able to proceed to checkout.

  2. Maximum Quantity

    When a maximum quantity is configured for a category, each product within that category has a limit on the quantity customers can add to their cart.

    Example:
    Imagine the "Health Supplements" category has a maximum quantity limit of 5. Any product within this category, such as vitamin C tablets or protein powder, cannot exceed 5 units in the cart. If a customer tries to add 6 units of any supplement, they will be restricted from checking out until they adjust the quantity to 5 or fewer.

  3. Multiple Quantity

    If a multiple quantity rule is set for a category, all products in that category must be ordered in specific multiples.

    Example:
    Consider the "Cleaning Supplies" category with a multiple quantity rule of 4. This means that any product within this category, such as disinfectant sprays or sponges, must be added to the cart in multiples of 4, such as 4, 8, or 12. If a customer tries to add 5 or 7, they won’t be able to proceed until the quantity aligns with the set multiples.

  4. Limit Quantity

    The Limit Quantity rule restricts customers to ordering in fixed multiples until a threshold quantity is reached, after which they can order freely. This rule will apply to all products within the specified category.

    Example:
    Suppose the "Bulk Foods" category has a multiple quantity rule of 5 with a limit quantity of 20. For any product within this category (e.g., rice bags or canned beans), customers must order in multiples of 5 until they reach 20 units. Once they reach 20 units, they can add any additional quantity without following the multiple rules (e.g., 21, 22, 23, etc.).

  5. Duration

Amount Configuration

table cat amt

When the admin configures an amount rule for a category, the rule applies to all products assigned to that category as their default category. Each product within this category must meet the specified amount requirements, whether minimum or maximum amount rules. This approach ensures consistent amount rules for all products grouped under the same category.

  1. Minimum Amount
    If a minimum amount is set for a category, each product within that category must meet the minimum amount requirement. This rule ensures that the total value of the products from the category in the cart meets or exceeds a specified minimum amount.

    Example: Suppose the "Electronics" category has a minimum amount rule of $50. Any product assigned to "Electronics" (e.g., headphones, chargers) must have a total value of at least $50 when added to the cart. If a customer tries to add items from this category that total less than $50, they won’t be able to proceed to checkout.
  2. Maximum Amount

    When a maximum amount is configured for a category, each product within that category has a limit on the total amount customers can add to their cart. This rule ensures that the total value of the products from the category in the cart does not exceed a specified maximum amount.

    Example: Imagine the "Luxury Goods" category has a maximum amount limit of $1000. Any product within this category, such as designer handbags or premium watches, cannot have a total value exceeding $1000 in the cart. If a customer tries to add items from this category that total more than $1000, they will be restricted from checking out until they adjust the total value to $1000 or less.
