What is WooCommerce Default Quantity?
WooCommerce Default Quantity is a WordPress plugin that configures default, minimum, maximum, and step quantity values for WooCommerce products at global, category, and product levels. Available at PluginTheme.net with instant download and GPL license.
Key Features
Default Quantities
Pre-fill the quantity input with configured default values so customers start with the intended order amount rather than one unit.
Min/Max Enforcement
Configurable minimum and maximum quantity limits that prevent orders below wholesale thresholds or above stock availability.
Step Increments
Force purchases in specific multiples (e.g., packs of 6 or cases of 12) for products sold in predetermined quantities.
Hierarchy Management
Three-tier configuration system (global → category → product) with inheritance and override for organized quantity rule management.
Who is this for?
Pros
- Flexible rules: Set quantity controls at global, category, or individual product level
- Step quantities: Enforce purchase in specific multiples for case or bulk buying
- Min/max limits: Control minimum orders and maximum purchase quantities per product
- Hierarchy system: Product settings override category, which overrides global defaults
Cons
- •Complex quantity rules across many categories need careful planning
- •Customers unfamiliar with quantity restrictions may need explanation at checkout
- •Step quantities may confuse customers if not clearly communicated on product pages
Product Description
WooCommerce Default Quantity extends WooCommerce's quantity input with configurable default values, minimum and maximum limits, and step increments. The plugin provides granular control over product quantity behavior at checkout.
Quantity Controls
- Default quantity pre-filled in the add-to-cart input
- Minimum quantity enforcement per product or globally
- Maximum quantity limits for inventory or order management
- Step increment values (e.g., buy in multiples of 6)
- Category-level quantity rules applied to all products in a group
Configuration Levels
Quantity rules can be set globally (all products), per category, or per individual product. Product-level settings override category defaults, which override global settings — providing a flexible hierarchy for quantity management across different product types.
Use Cases
Common applications include wholesale minimum orders, case quantity purchasing (multiples of 12, 24, etc.), limited-edition product restrictions, and sample quantity limits. The plugin helps stores enforce business rules around order quantities without custom development.

WooCommerce Default Quantity provides practical quantity controls for stores with specific ordering requirements. The hierarchy system makes it manageable to apply rules across product catalogs without individual product configuration.
