Set minimum and maximum quantity order rules. You can establish a required minimum number of each product that must be ordered. You can also establish a maximum number of each product that can be in a single order. You can also force multiples in a drop down quantity input. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Single screen for setting rules.
The admin control panel permits the store owner to specify all products (as a wildcard) in a store to have the same quantity rules or apply individual and different quantity rules for each product code which will be restrained by order quantities. For ease of use, the individual product ranges are entered in a single admin input box rather than from tabs at the individual product edit screens. This allows the store owner to easily build the quantity rules in a word processor and simply copy and paste hundreds of codes into the input box quickly.
Default or store morph customizable error message.
When the customer selects an out-of-range
amount, the quantity is adjusted to fall within the permissable range and a non-fatal message is displayed telling the customer that the quantity was adjusted. The store owner can configure the text in the out-of-range message box or leave the box out of the store altogether by deleting the
override message text in admin.
Force multiples in a drop down.
You can change the quantity input into a drop down select list with multiple values. For example, setting the multiple to 2 will result in a select list of 2, 4, 6, 8, etc up to the maximum. You can also make a non-equal interval, e.g. 1, 3, 7, 10. If you fill in the intervals rather than using a multiple, you can also give each interval amount a label to go with it. Using this technique you can make an easier to understand quantity selection, e.g. 1, 1 dozen, and 1 case could be the drop down options that go with the hidden quantities of 1, 12 and 24 respectively. The module uses the built in store morph system to place the select list token on the product and basket screens for the quantity input.
Price Group Restriction.
Apply restrictions only to customers in specified price groups if they are logged in when adding to the basket. This forces them to buy specified minimums if they are going to get a price group discount. If you are using a 3rd party module which recalculates the basket price after logging in, then this feature won't prevent them from getting the lower price if they did not meet the minimum when they were not logged in.
