Inventory Integration

Quantity selection works with inventory tracking:

3. Quantity maximum is automatically limited to available stock

When inventory runs low:

• Maximum quantity adjusts to remaining stock
• “Sold Out” message appears when inventory is 0

See Limiting Inventory/Stock for details.

Add the Order Summary field to show quantity details:

1. Go to Form Fields tab
2. Add Order Summary field

Customers see:

Item Name × 3      $75.00
────────────────────────
Total              $75.00

Coupons with Quantity

When coupons are applied:

1. Subtotal calculated (price × quantity)
2. Discount applied to subtotal
3. Final total shown

Example with 20% coupon:

• Item: $25 × 4 = $100
• Discount: -$20
• Total: $80

Validation

The form validates quantity:

• Can’t go below minimum
• Can’t exceed maximum
• Must be a whole number
• Must be within inventory limits

Tips

For Physical Products

• Set reasonable maximums (10-20)
• Consider shipping implications
• Link to inventory tracking

For Digital Products

• Higher maximums are fine (no shipping)
• Consider license implications
• Bulk pricing tiers work well

For Services

• Maximum = your capacity
• Consider time constraints
• Maybe disable quantity entirely

For Events

• Maximum = venue capacity per order
• Consider group booking limits
• Track total tickets sold

Troubleshooting

• Verify Allow Quantity is enabled
• Save the form and refresh

Can’t increase quantity

• Check the maximum setting
• Check inventory limits
• Verify JavaScript is working
