WooCommerce: Exclude from Quantity Rules

When managing a WooCommerce store, there are times when you need to exclude specific products from global quantity rules. The Min/Max Quantities for WooCommerce plugin allows administrators to define exceptions for certain products, ensuring that the global quantities settings do not apply to them. This can be particularly useful for managing inventory and specific promotional items.

Why You Might Want to Exclude Products from Global Quantity Rules

Excluding certain products from global quantity rules can be crucial for various reasons:

• Special Promotions: Sometimes, you may want to run special promotions on certain products that do not conform to your general quantity rules.
• Limited Stock Items: Products with limited stock might need different quantity rules to ensure fair distribution.
• High-Value Items: Expensive products may need separate quantity rules to prevent bulk buying and ensure availability for more customers.

Steps to Exclude Products from Global Quantity Rules

Step 1: Enable Global Quantities

Ensure the global quantities settings are enabled. This will allow you to apply global rules to your products.

Enable global “Quantities”: Toggle this option to apply global quantities settings.

Step 2: Access Brightplugins > Min/Max Quantities Settings

Navigate to General Options in Global Setting, and you will see the Exclude products option. In this example, we will exclude only 2 products, but you can exclude as many as you need.

• Navigate to Settings: Go to Woocommerce > Bright Plugins > Min/Max Quantities Settings.
• Select Products to Exclude: In the General Options tab, find the Exclude products field. Here, you can add the products you wish to exclude from the global quantity rules.

Example: If you want to exclude “Product A” and “Product B”, simply search for these products in the exclude field and add them.

Step 3: Save Your Settings

After you have selected the products to exclude, make sure to save your changes. This ensures that the selected products will not be affected by the global quantity rules.

Additional Considerations

• Regular Updates: Regularly review and update your excluded products list to ensure it meets your store’s current needs.
• Customer Communication: Inform customers about any special rules for certain products to avoid confusion and improve their shopping experience.
• Testing: Always test the changes in a staging environment before applying them to your live store to ensure everything works as expected.

Conclusion

Excluding specific products from global quantity rules in WooCommerce can provide greater flexibility and control over your inventory management. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily configure these exceptions using the Min/Max Quantities for WooCommerce plugin.
