Thread: Max quantity / quantity limit for shippable items

Is there a way to set a limit, say "100 units". if a customer attempts to add more than that quantity, they should get a "call to order" type message...

I have looked through the code and can't find this; I see MultiShipMaxItemsAllowed but that is not applicable to this scenario I believe.

We just want to set a limit beyond which customers are told to call in to order...

thanks in advance!!

Well, the easiest to get around it is to set Restricted Quantities for those Shippable Products...

RESTRICTED QUANTITIES under the variants would force me to enter 1,2,3,4,5.... to 100 units and limit it that way, but they could still add this same SKU into their cart and order a second hundred, right?


I want them to be able to add any amount into their cart, but if it exceeds, say, "100 units" it is supposed to trigger a message to call for pricing and not let them complete the order.

99 units = order goes through

100= call to order

Well, you could try this modification:

First add two AppConfig parameters:
Name Type Value
LimitQuantityOnProduct Boolean true/false
QuantityLimit Int number (e.g. 100)

Then under the AspDotNetStorefrontCore.ShoppingCart.GetAddToCartF orm method, add the highlighted parts:

Code:

            if (!CustomerEntersPrice && (AppLogic.AppConfigBool("ShowQuantityOnProductPage") && !forKit) || (!AppLogic.AppConfigBool("HideKitQuantity") && forKit))
            {
                tmpS.Append("	if ((theForm.Quantity.value*1) < 1)\n"); // convert form val to integer
                tmpS.Append("	{\n");
                tmpS.Append("		alert(\"" + AppLogic.GetString("common.cs.84", SkinID, LocaleSetting) + "\");\n");
                tmpS.Append("		theForm.Quantity.focus();\n");
                tmpS.Append("		submitenabled(theForm);\n");
                tmpS.Append("		return (false);\n");
                tmpS.Append("    }\n");

                if (AppLogic.AppConfigBool("LimitQuantityOnProduct"))
                {
                    tmpS.Append("	if ((theForm.Quantity.value*1) >="+ AppLogic.AppConfigUSInt("QuantityLimit")+" )\n"); // convert form val to integer
                    tmpS.Append("	{\n");
                    tmpS.Append("		alert(\" The limit quantity exceeds and it must called to order\");\n");
                    tmpS.Append("		theForm.Quantity.focus();\n");
                    tmpS.Append("		submitenabled(theForm);\n");
                    tmpS.Append("		return (false);\n");
                    tmpS.Append("    }\n");
                }
                
                if (RestrictedQuantities.Length == 0 && MinimumQuantity != 0)
                {
                    tmpS.Append("	if ((theForm.Quantity.value*1) < VariantMinimumQty_" + ProductID.ToString() + "_" + VariantID.ToString() + ")\n"); // convert form val to integer
                    tmpS.Append("	{\n");
                    tmpS.Append("		alert(\"" + String.Format(AppLogic.GetString("common.cs.85", SkinID, LocaleSetting), "\"+VariantMinimumQty_" + ProductID.ToString() + "_" + VariantID.ToString() + " + \"") + "\");\n");
                    tmpS.Append("		theForm.Quantity.focus();\n");
                    tmpS.Append("		submitenabled(theForm);\n");
                    tmpS.Append("		return (false);\n");
                    tmpS.Append("    }\n");
                }
            }

and that's it...

I would like to know if this can be done in version 8.0. There is no AspDotNetStorefrontCore, but the code is in a AspDotNetStorefrontCommon file.
