Hi Pmt,
In Shopify, the quantity field only allows for whole numbers and does not support decimal quantities. This is because the system is designed to track inventory in whole units.
However, there are a few workarounds you could consider:
-
Product Variants: You can create product variants that represent the fractional amounts. For example, if you’re selling fabric, instead of selling 0.5 yards as a quantity, you could create a variant called “Half Yard”.
-
Use an App: There are existing apps in the Shopify app store, such as Convert+, that allow for fractional quantities. These apps allow you to sell products by weight, length, or other measurements.
-
Custom Development: If none of these solutions work for you, you might consider hiring a Shopify expert to customize your store’s theme to support decimal quantities.
Hope this helps!
