How to increase the quantity using decimal numbers

[Renko2022]

Hey there,

I would like to increase the quantity for ordering using decimal numbers (0.1, 0.2, 0.3...), not integers. That would apply only for products that use a default template (in the code below it's the first IF condition).
I hope you can give me a hand.
Regards,
Renko

{%- if template.suffix == nil -%}

<quantity-input class="quantity">
<button class="quantity__button no-js-hidden" name="minus" type="button">
<span class="visually-hidden">{{ 'products.product.quantity.decrease' | t: product: product.title | escape }}</span>
{% render 'icon-minus' %}
</button>
<input class="quantity__input"
type="number"
name="quantity"
id="Quantity-{{ section.id }}"
min="2"
value="2"
form="{{ product_form_id }}"
oninput="changeMaxQuantity(this, 24)"
>
<button class="quantity__button no-js-hidden" name="plus" type="button">
<span class="visually-hidden">{{ 'products.product.quantity.increase' | t: product: product.title | escape }}</span>
{% render 'icon-plus' %}
</button>
</quantity-input>
<script>
function changeMaxQuantity(_this, max) {
if (_this.value > max) _this.value = max;
return;
}
</script>
{%- else -%}
<quantity-input class="quantity">
<button class="quantity__button no-js-hidden" name="minus" type="button">
<span class="visually-hidden">{{ 'products.product.quantity.decrease' | t: product: product.title | escape }}</span>
{% render 'icon-minus' %}
</button>
<input class="quantity__input"
type="number"
name="quantity"
id="Quantity-{{ section.id }}"
min="1"
value="1"
form="{{ product_form_id }}"
>
<button class="quantity__button no-js-hidden" name="plus" type="button">
<span class="visually-hidden">{{ 'products.product.quantity.increase' | t: product: product.title | escape }}</span>
{% render 'icon-plus' %}
</button>
</quantity-input>
{%- endif -%}

Hi @Renko2022,

Shopify does not support you entering Quantity as Decimal Numbers. Refer https://shopify.dev/themes/architecture/templates/product#the-quantity-input

So this is not possible.

Hope it is clear to you.

While Shopify does not support decimal order quantities, there is a workaround which is being used by most fabric stores. For example

https://fabrics-fabrics.com/

The way it works is that the lowest fraction is considered a unit and quantities are manipulated for ordering the correct number. So 1.5 becomes 3 quantity of half unit.

how is it done? by app?
