limit no. of purchases per item ?

hi david

Is it possible to limit the number of purchases for a particular item, per order ?

I'm still trying to work out a way of addressing multiple item type orders ( that have different packaging  requirements ) but get ordered together, and more than 1 of each....varying quantities, varying item weights, multiple items can be sent in the one package but some items can only be sent in a particular kind of package.  This is because I have bumper stickers, banners and posters where the A3 posters must go in a cylnder, whereas the A4 posters go in an A4 doc box by themselves but must upgrade thmselves and go with the A3 posters in a cylinder when they're ordered with an A3 sized poster. )

I have to make sure I'm not tired when I'm trying to work this out !

I have a rough system worked out, as long orders aren't too big. I've invented a cart-relevant-only weights system that correlates to order quantities ( not weights, otherwise it blows out because multiple items can be packaged in the one same box, up to a point, and still be under the post office scales, or not ). 

If the cart was able to determine which items had priority packaging ( therefore rates too ), in multiple type item orders, might make it workable.....????

So, in the meantime, is it possible to limit the number of items per order, per a particular item at all ? ( I guess that would be a ' maximum quantity per order '  thing, I think )

thanks

paul

Hi Paul,

No, this isn`t an option in the system. It would be assumed that whatever stock is listed is available, so I doubt this is something I would add in future versions. It might confuse people to say there are X in stock, but you can only order X amount.

Re: limit no. of purchases per item ?

You've not heard of things like :  " Limit of 3  per customer " etc ?  ( or 10 in my case )

If you've got any suggestions as to how to set a cart up with thses needs, I'm all ears...

thanks, paul

Re: limit no. of purchases per item ?

Yep, I have heard about the limit, but funnily enough only in my local supermarket when the offers are on. lol.

What you probably need is a bespoke cart system to suit your needs?

Re: limit no. of purchases per item ?

I don't know what that is, so I had to look it up.

I've had a quick look and if it's a particular cart then it's about 2 thousand pounds !!

Is it a generic description, a style of cart, or is it this particular cart system ?

paul


( later ) hmmm....looks like it might be both )

Re: limit no. of purchases per item ?

Is there maybe a way to restrict purchases to items from one category per order ? 

I've spent so much time and energy on this, all the design and customisation ( all those upgrades !!! ).....

There must be a way, a workaround, for what I want  ???
