What It Does

Maximum Quantity for WooCommerce Shops is a simple extension for WooCommerce that lets you set a maximum limit for the number of items that can be added to the cart, for each product, per order.

It is like a sign at the grocery store that says, “LIMIT 2 PER CUSTOMER!”. This plugin will not add a sign like that, but the quantity input field will hit a limit.

You can set a global limit to affect all products in your WooCommerce store or a different limit for each product, individually. Each product’s own limit will always override the global limit.

This works for all products in your WooCommerce store: Simple and Variable products.

Customers do not have to be logged in for this to work. This works for guest buyers, as well as logged-in buyers.
