min purchase setup

[GwaiTsi]

I am trying to setup a wine site.

I want to have minimum quantities for individual products i.e. 2 bottles, but have an overall minimum quantity for the order i.e. 12 bottles.

I still haven't been able to work out what is: -

product qty minimum
product qty maximum
product qty units
Product qty min/unit mix

Grateful if someone can explain these and advise how i may achieve above example.

Thanks

You can set the minimum quantity for a Product by setting the:

Product Minimum: 2

when adding/editing a product ...

As to the minimum quantity for the order, you would need to alter the code in the checkout_blah header_php.php files to test for what is in the cart or alter the code that allows the links to checkout to display on the main header and shopping_cart ...

Personally, I'd do both ... changing the links to not show so they don't try to check out but rather see something like 12 bottle minimum for checkout somewhere ... and then a safety in case they try to circumvent the block ...

To make the customer order: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 ... you need units of 2

To utilize Attributes and allow 1 Red and 1 Green to equal 2 you need Mixed ON ... to utilize Attributes and Force 2 Red or 2 Green to equal 2 you need Mixed OFF ...

Hi Ajeh, you seem to understand the product mix attribute, i am trying to create a product which is 9 bottles of cider, which can be made up of any combination of 3 types to make 9. In your previous post you mentioned having 1 blue and 1 red to equal 2. I cant see how this works. When i set up an example, i followed the instructions and looked in the example set up store and couldnt figure this out. i could give it attributes, but not make each attribute equal a unit. Could you give me a pointer as to where i am going wrong?

would be grateful for any help!

Thanks!

im trying to set a minimum order quantity of say £300 on all products on the site, i think i'll have more success selling items as single units. Please help i've had no joy searching so far

There is an add-on either in the Downloads or the older contributions for a minimum order amount ...

I am not sure precisely where ... but it does exist ...

I am also trying to find the download for minimum order. I went to http://www.modyourzencart.com/free-o...n-order-amount but the download does not work for me. I got "file" which I cannot read anyway.. Most of the stuff regarding the minimum order on that web site does not work for me..

My understanding is that the Minimum Order Mod only lets you set a minimum monetary amount, not the number of products purchased.

Ajeh, you mentioned editing code in the header/checkout files which seems like the best solution. (Until some sort of admin-based feature could be added hopefully?) Is there anyone out there that could help with the php for this? I'm guessing it needs to be some sort of if/then where you just set the number you want the minimum to be, but I'm not sure where to look exactly. Would these be the files under the templates? Or in the languages? Or elsewhere?

Thanks in advance!
