Minimum order quantity

We have a customer who sells the same products in two different webshops. Now shop A has to deal with a minimum order quantity, but shop B would like have not. We have now adjusted this in shop B on the front-end, so that any quantity can be ordered. Unfortunately, the quantity automatically changes back to the minimum order quantityof shop A. Is there a solution for this?

Hi Rene,

If you use the standard MinimumOrderQuantity field, DW will use it to validate the quantity when you add the product to cart.

I suggest you create a custom ProductField where you store that value and use it in the Cart where you need it.

It won't validate the quantity server side (as it would if you use the MinimumOrderQuantity field) but you can still create your custom logic for a front-end validation.

Hi Adrian

There is some serverside - not checks, but calculations - to ensure the MinimumOrderQuantity is enforced. So a regular addto cart with a qty that does not match MinimumOrderQuantity, would round to the MinimumOrderQuantity value...

So I think this requires that the built.in MinimumOrderQuantity field is not used as it would be enforced (some times)
