# Quantities and minimum orders - Wholesaleline 1.x documentation

> Minimum, maximum and pack-size quantities per product and group, and a minimum order value per group.

Trade customers often buy by the case. Wholesaleline lets each group have its own quantity rules for a product, and its own minimum order value.

## Quantity rules for a product

1. Edit the product and open its **Wholesale** tab.
2. For each group, fill in what applies:
   - **Minimum**: the fewest the customer may order.
   - **Maximum**: the most they may order.
   - **Step**: the pack size. With 6, they order 6, 12, 18 and so on.
3. Click **Update**.

Leave a field empty for no rule. A variable product's rules apply to each of its variations.

### What customers see

- The quantity box on the product page starts at the minimum (rounded up to the pack size) and goes up in steps of the pack size.
- **Add to cart** buttons on the shop and category pages add the minimum (rounded up to the pack size).
- Adding an amount that breaks the rule shows a message straight away, such as "Order at least 6 of "Stoneware mug"." or ""Stoneware mug" is sold in multiples of 6."
- The cart and checkout, classic or block, don't let an order through until the quantities are right. The classic cart shows a message for each line to change; the Cart block changes a line's quantity to the nearest one allowed by itself.

Customers without a group, and guests, order any quantity.

## A minimum order value

1. Go to **WooCommerce → Wholesale** and edit the group.
2. Under **Ordering**, enter the **Minimum order**, for example `150`.
3. Click **Save group**.

The group's customers can't check out until their cart subtotal reaches it. They see "Your account has a minimum order of $150.00. Your cart comes to $52.50." in the cart and at checkout, and the minimum under My Account → Wholesale account.

The subtotal is the one the customer sees: with or without tax, as the store (or the group's **Show prices**) displays it. Shipping isn't counted.
