I am hoping I can find a free solution to my issue. I sell products where some of them may be sold in bundles of more than the usual “1” for add to cart.
For example, I’d like to have a product where you’d select the size, the style, and then whether you’d like 10, 50, 100, 500, or 1000 of that item. I’d like to do this where I don’t have to have those as variants and ALSO have the “1” quantity, so as to not confuse the customer in that they’re ordering “1” of 500… and just make it a simple button that adds that qty to the cart.

One option to achieve this functionality in your Shopify store without using an app would be to use line item properties. Below are the steps.
Go to the product in your Shopify admin and click on “Edit”
Scroll down to the “Variants” section and click on “Edit options”
Click on “Add option” and create a new option called “Quantity”
In the “Quantity” option, add the values “10”, “50”, “100”, “500”, and “1000”
Save the options and then go to the “Variant details” section
For each variant, enter the price and SKU, and then select the appropriate size and style
In the “Quantity” column, enter “1” for each variant
Scroll down to the “Product details” section and click on “Edit” next to “Additional information”
In the “Additional information” section, click on “Add custom property” and create a new line item property called “Quantity”
Save the product
Now when a customer adds the product to their cart, they will see a dropdown menu to select the quantity of 10, 50, 100, 500, or 1000, and they can also enter a custom quantity in the line item property field. To make it even simpler, you can add a note on the product page instructing customers to select their desired quantity from the dropdown menu and leave the “Quantity” field blank if they want to order a different quantity.
Keep in mind that this method doesn’t provide a simple button that adds a certain quantity to the cart, but it should achieve the functionality you’re looking for without using an app.
Hello, If you want to sell your product in variations of sets with different variants like size, color etc then you can do that with the MultiVariants - Bulk order app.
With the app, you can set the bundle quantity or predefined bundles for products like 10, 50, 100, 500, or 1000 of that item. If the customers choose any set and go for checkout then the stock will be deducted from the inventory that you set for this product. This bundle quantity will also work on the cart page. The set of quantities will be also displayed as a drop-down.
Along with this, through this app, you can apply restrictions for minimum-maximum quantities, minimum-maximum order value, interval quantities, limits on variants can be achieved. You’ll get 3 days of trial for going through all the available features.
You’ll get 3 days of trial along with great customer support for exploring all other features. You can set restrictions on any specific product or group of products in your store.
Here is the Sample product where customers can choose only those set of quantities that you’ve set up and the selected quantities will be deducted from the inventory on the product page. And here is the Sample store with more available features.
Just in case you’re looking for an app, our app is able to meet your needs as it is primarily a bundle inventory management system so it will also be able to track the SKUs for variants of each product.
The bundle inventory is automatically set based on the available inventories of the bundle item(s), including the inventories of the variants. Proper quantity will also be taken out of the inventory of each bundle that is being purchased.
I had a similar situation where I wanted customers to pick packs like 10 / 50 / 100 / 500 without creating a huge number of variants or confusing them with “Qty = 1 of 500”. Shopify doesn’t support this natively unless you turn each pack into a variant, which quickly becomes messy.
If you don’t want to create variants, the alternatives are:
Hard-coding buttons that add a specific quantity to cart
Or using a rule-based app that lets you define preset purchase quantities without touching variants
For my store, I ended up using an order-limit app so I could set fixed quantity options (10, 50, 100…) and control how much of each product can be added, without rebuilding all my variants. Tthis is the app I used
