Shipping limited to X items

Hi,

I need to limit each purchase using item.php to X products (because of high fixed costs incurred by the shipping method).

Do you know a way to do this ?

Thanks!

Re: Shipping limited to X items

Could you further define more specifically what you mean by limit each purchase?

Pretend we have no clue what you are talking about and type really, really slow ... :smile:

Re: Shipping limited to X items

Hi,

Thanks for the answer.

I need to limit the number of products sold with each purchase
to a maximum of X items (X being an integer like 2 or 3).

For clarity, this is meant for fast delivery purchases only. With fast delivery, we have a fixed cost with each delivery that doubles if there are more than X items in the package. So, the idea is avoid ending up loosing money.

Thanks..

There is a Minimum Order add on in the Free Software Add Ons that you might be able to adapt for this to be based on Item Count and limiting the number of items allowed ...

Re: Shipping limited to X items

Wouldn't it be smarter to limit the shipping methods available instead of the number of items you sell?

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.
