How can I set a minimum order quantity on buy it now order in a variation. If I do not want to sell a single item but would like to sell 4 or more items in a variation, what can I do?
I'm guessing you want them to be able to select which 4 of your items they get. There isn't a good way to do this. The way I have done it in the past is to sell 4 items in each listing of the multi-variation listing and then in the description of the item let people know to message me if they want more than 4 items or different 4 items, and I will make a special listing for the items they prefer.
You would be making it way too confusing for buyers. Just make a listing with 4 items available for sale showing the four items in the picture. The buyer can then purchase as many lots of 4 they want... i.e., a total of 4, 8, 12, 16 etc.
This is what I am looking for. My variation has more than 60 items. At present they choose from 1 to as many as they want. What I am looking for is for the buyers should start from a minimum of 4. Making a set of 4 is a non starter. I wonder if what I am looking for is possible.
No, it is not possible to offer a multitude of items but set a minimum quantity purchase of 4 of those items. As @inhawaii stated above: "There is no way to set up the listing so that a customer must buy 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 but can't buy 1, 2 or 3. "
It’s 2024 now, but wondering if you ever found a workaround to this? I am gleaning that most on this thread who replied to you didn’t take the time to understand what you actually were asking, but I have the exact same question and am trying to set up a listing like this so I’m not stuck shipping out $0.50 cards one at a time (and thereby not profiting at all because of the cost of shipping materials).
