FAQs
1. Why doesn’t the quantity selector appear for variable products?
Variable products require customers to select a variation first. Since variations cannot be selected from shop or category pages, the quantity selector is only shown for simple products.
2. Will min/max quantity rules still apply when using the shop page selector?
Yes. All min/max quantity rules are validated when the product is added to the cart, regardless of where the quantity is selected.
3. Does this feature affect product page quantity selectors?
No. The quantity selector on single product pages remains unchanged and works as usual.
