How do i remove quantity for each product input box?

The products on my site are hand made so there no need for a quantiy of product option in the admin or anywhere. How do get rid of the quantity option??

Re: How do i remove quantity for each product input box?

Just hide the quantity box ...

In the Products you have a setting for:

Products Quantity Box Shows: Yes, Show Quantity Box No, Do not show Quantity Box

Re: How do i remove quantity for each product input box?

NOTE: to prevent more than 1 being added once the first one is added be sure to set Maximum 1 and it will clean the cart if someone tries to add more than 1

Re: How do i remove quantity for each product input box?

You might even want to turn off the Multiple Add To Cart option on the product listing so that quantity fields aren't displayed. Admin->Configuration->Product Listing->
Display Multiple Products Qty Box Status and Set Button Location
set to 0

Is this setting in the Configuration > Maximum Values section? I can't seem to find it.

Re: How do i remove quantity for each product input box?

When the Multiple Add to Cart button(s) show then the Add to Cart Qty Box is 0 ...

NOTE: You don't want the customer to have to delete what they do not want to add to the cart or delete later on the cart because you added too many things ...

When the Add to Cart button with Qty Box shows per Product then the Add to Cart QTY is 1 ... (or the minimum qty)

NOTE: qty adjusts based on how many are in cart and minimum qty set for Product ...

Must be why my fiance bought me a helmet to wear when I'm on my computer!!

I'm still having issues with the quantity area. I did some screenshots to show you what I mean. I'm getting a product mix message which is happening when I have it set to off:

in Admin:

Product Listing:

Item Page:

To get rid of it, I have to turn it on.

In the Products you have a setting for:

Hi,

I am having the same problem.

I wan to hide the quantity box. HOwever, after performing the setting as you said "No do not show quantity box", I still see on front end "0 units in stock".

The "0" units in stock is taken from an input field. If I left blank, it says "0 units in stock". Can I totally remove this field from the front end when I am viewing a product item?

Thank You.

Re: How do i remove quantity for each product input box?

A quantity box is where you type in the number of the products you want to buy such as:
3 widgets

The text on the screen of:
0 units in stock

is not a quantity box that is the display of the number of items in stock ...

If you want to remove, from the product _info page, the units in stock, then go to the Catalog ... Product Type ... EDIT LAYOUT ... and turn off what you do not want to see ...
