I sell wheels and tires. I want people to be able to choose any quantity they want, but 99% of sales are in quantities of 4. How can I make that the default on the quantity selector, but not the minimum, since I am willing to sell 1 or 2, etc
Topic summary
Set the product quantity selector’s default to 4 while still allowing customers to choose any amount. The aim is a default, not a minimum.
Suggested approach:
- Add a default value to the quantity input: .
- Edit the theme file where the quantity field is rendered.
Likely file locations (varies by theme):
- templates/product.liquid or sections/main-product.liquid.
- Snippets such as product.liquid, product-form.liquid, or quantity.liquid.
Optional logic:
- Use conditional Liquid to apply the default only to certain products, e.g. {% if product.type == “tire” %} value=“4” {% endif %}.
Notes:
- Implementation depends on the theme; you may need to trace the template logic to find the exact quantity markup.
- No confirmation of resolution; more context (store URL, theme name) would help. The discussion remains open with a clear technical direction provided.
Hi @WheelGuys 
this will vary wildly among themes so you just have to dig or hire someone.
Add the value attribute to the quantity:
Find either the main templates/product.liquid , or look in sections for something like main-product.liquid or similar and follow the logic to find where the quantity is output.
Sometimes the quantity in in a product.liquid snippet. product-form.liquid , or even quantity.liquid snippet.
And you may need to use logic like {% if product.type == “tire” %} value=“4” {% endif %} if selling any other type of product now or in the future.
