How can I offer custom quantity values for my print store?

Store Design

Topic summary

Core Issue:
Store owners need to offer custom quantity increments (e.g., 25, 50, 100, 250) for specific products like printed materials, rather than the standard 1, 2, 3 quantity selector.

Primary Solution:

  • Replace the default quantity input field with a dropdown <select> element in the theme code
  • Modify product.liquid or similar template files to include predefined quantity options
  • The standard quantity field can be commented out or removed entirely

Product-Specific Implementation:

  • Multiple users asked how to apply custom quantities to individual products without affecting the entire store
  • Recommended approach: Create a unique product template so changes only apply to selected products
  • Reference tutorial provided for creating custom product templates

Alternative Solutions:

  • MultiVariants - Bulk Order app mentioned for setting quantity interval increases (e.g., increments of 12, 100)
  • Supports different quantity rules for different products
  • Includes visual quantity grid interface

Additional Requests:

  • Radio button selectors instead of dropdowns for better UX
  • Dynamic text display based on selected quantity (e.g., “production period: 8 days” for 1 item, “15 days” for 10 items)

Status: Initial code solution confirmed working; discussion remains open for product-specific implementations and UI variations.
