Scenario 1: Configuring Quantity Attributes
Problem
You need to allow customers to select different quantities for different variations of the same product (e.g., Small, Medium, Large garments) while ensuring these selections are treated as a single order quantity in the cart.
Solution
- Navigate to the Admin Panel > Catalogue > Attributes > Product Attributes section.
- Create a new attribute or edit an existing one. These attributes will refer to the variation themselves. So for our example, we would have three attributes “Small”, “Medium” and “Large”.
- Set the Attribute Link to "Quantity."
- Note: Only Dropdown, Radio, and Number control types are supported.
- Assign the quantity attributes to a product.
- Configure values in each of these attributes:
- This can be done either within the Product Attribute Values section (Admin > Catalogue > Attributes > Product Attribute Values) if you wish to define values globally, or on attributes individually assigned to products.
- For attributes intended as Dropdown or Radio controls, ensure all values are positive integers.
- For Number controls, specify a default value, minimum value, maximum value, and step value. These are controlled within the main product restrictions (Product Variant Settings > Info Tab).
- This can be done either within the Product Attribute Values section (Admin > Catalogue > Attributes > Product Attribute Values) if you wish to define values globally, or on attributes individually assigned to products.
- Test in the storefront to ensure the correct quantity selection interface appears.
