How to display applied min/max rules on product and cart pages

Displaying applicable minimum and maximum quantity rules on your product and cart pages helps customers clearly understand purchase limits before checkout.

By showing these rules at the right time and in the right format, you can reduce confusion, prevent cart errors, and improve the overall buying experience.

This feature allows you to:

• Show rules on product and cart pages
• Control where rules appear on the product page
• Choose how rules are displayed (Table or Notification style)

Why Display Min/Max Rules to Customers

• Improves transparency during shopping
• Reduces cart validation errors
• Helps customers comply with quantity requirements
• Prevents surprise messages at checkout
• Improves overall user experience

Where Can Rules Be Displayed?

You can display min/max quantity rules on:

• Product pages

• Cart page

  
  

  

• Or both

These settings are managed from the Display Rules section in the plugin.

How to Configure Display Rules (Admin Settings)

Step 1: Open Display Rules Settings

1. Go to WordPress Dashboard → Dotstore Plugins → Min/Max Quantity
2. Open the Settings tab
3. Navigate to the Display Rules section

Step 2: Enable Rule Display Locations

In the Display Rules settings:

• Enable Show rules on cart page to display rules on the cart page
• Enable Show rules on product page to display rules on single product pages

These options ensure customers see applicable rules before checkout.

Step 3: Choose Rule Position on Product Page

When displaying rules on the product page, select where they should appear:

• Before Add to Cart
• After Add to Cart

Choose the position that best fits your store layout and customer flow.

Step 4: Add Text Before Rules (Optional)

In the Text before rules field, you can add a heading or short message, such as:

• “Quantity Requirements”
• “Purchase Limits”
• “Please note the following rules:”

This helps customers understand the context of the displayed rules.

Rule Display Type

You can now choose how min/max rules are displayed on product pages using the Rule display type option.

Available Display Types

1. Table (Default)

• Displays rules in a structured table format
• Best for stores with multiple or complex rules
• Easy to scan and compare limits

Best for:

Wholesale stores, bulk rules, detailed quantity conditions

2. Notification (New)

• Displays rules as a WooCommerce-style notice
• Matches WooCommerce’s native success/error messages
• More compact and visually noticeable

Best for:

Simple rules, clean product pages, minimal UI

This option is especially useful if you want rules to feel like part of WooCommerce’s default experience.

How to Change Rule Display Type

1. Go to Min/Max Quantity → Settings → Display Rules

Example Use Cases

1. Bulk Purchase Products

A store selling items in bulk can display rules in table format to clearly show minimum, maximum, and step quantities.

2. Simple Purchase Limits

A store with a simple “Minimum 5 items required” rule can use the notification display for a cleaner product page.

3. Wholesale Cart Rules

Wholesale stores can display cart-level quantity rules on the cart page so buyers know they must meet minimum requirements before checkout.
