How to Force Minimum Quantity / Incremental Quantities in Volusion Ecommerce
There are a few different ways to force minimum and/or incremental quantities in your Volusion eCommerce store using jQuery to forced incremental quantities on Product Detail Pages or minimum quantities on specific product pages.
Advanced and Custom Product Category Filters and Search Result Pages for Volusion
An advanced, custom product category filer will allow you to offer your customers a personalized search experience that will boost your conversion rates. This feature is especially important if you have hundreds or thousands of products available, but you may not want to pay a monthly service fee. So what do you do?
Minimum Quantity Ordering with Set Increments
Depending what business you’re in, you may require minimum and/or maximum quantities on the products people purchase from you. Let’s say you sell business cards and require a minimum bulk purchase of 100 cards. While most people will understand that this means they can’t order 50 cards, they believe that they can still order 150 cards, or while it sounds nonsensical, even 105 cards. However, a minimum requirement may mean that you only sell your cards in increments of 100 (100 cards, 200, 300, and so on).
So that customer who wants to order 150 business cards would have to order 200 to satisfy your minimum requirement. The shopping cart of any major ecommerce platform would simply send a message saying that their quantity did not meet the requirements and the customer would have to go back and fix their order. This could become a deterrent that stops them from completing their order, which means you’ve lost a sale and have an abandoned cart to handle.
Automated Drop Shipping Product and Order Fulfillment Integration via XML or API
The biggest problem for businesses engaging in drop shipping has to be the manual oversight of the entire process. While drop shipping a small number of products and orders is doable, it becomes increasingly difficult and eventually impossible to do manually if you are dealing with thousands of products and hundreds of orders.
Automated Product, Customer and Order Migration and Integration into Volusion
The custom programming we’ve done for Volusion customers over the last few years has earned us the title of Expert Developers from Volusion. We couldn’t be more honored, yet we’re not ready to rest our laurels on our past achievements and so continue to earn our title by continuing to develop custom solutions to problems that Volusion would say are impossible to remedy. As a Volusion customer or developer, there are certain rules and guidelines you must respect when importing products into your store. For example, all products in your inventory must have a product code, a description, a weight, an image, etc. assigned to them. While this creates structure and order, it can create certain issues and challenges towards getting all that you need using the Volusion platform.
