Overview
Have you got products on your site that need to be sold in packs? For example, product XYZ has a Pack Quantity of 4 in your ERP, so you'd like your customers to order that product in multiples of 4 only (4, 8, 12, and so on).
Luckily, your Commerce Vision site has a feature where you can require users to order a product in ERP pack quantities. This can be enforced when the product is added to cart, when a cart quantity is updated, and again at checkout.

Update Widget Options
There are several places where customers might add items to the cart:
- in a search results list
- on a product detail page
- in an order template
- on the Favourites page
Below is a list of widgets that covers the above scenarios. Each widget has an option to "Increase Quantities In Pack Qty?". Enable this to enforce purchase by pack quantity.
Your site can use one or more of these widgets.
| Widget name | Scenario | Where you'll find it |
|---|---|---|
| Order Lines Widget | Products in the cart | Cart Template |
| Product Item Widget | Product lists (non-zoned layout)
| Product List Item Template |
| Product List Qty Box Widget | Product lists (zoned layout)
| Product List Item Zoned Template |
| Product Purchase Details Widget | Product detail page | Product Detail Template |
| Order Templates Widget | Products in an order template | Order Templates Page Template |
| Product Variant List Widget | Product detail page - products with style/colour/size options | Product Detail Template |
| Product Variant Grid Widget | Product lists (zoned layout) and/or Product detail page - products with style/colour/size options | Product Detail Template Product List Item Zoned Template |
| Product Item Widget | Product lists (non-zoned layout) - products with style/colour/size options
| Product List Item Template |
| Product List Variant Options Widget | Product lists (zoned layout) - products with style/colour/size options
| Product List Item Zoned Template |
| Product Compare Widget | Product compare pop-up window, where the customer can evaluate multiple products against one another | Theme Layout Template |
| Recently Viewed Products Widget | Products the customer has viewed recently, often displayed at the bottom / side of a Product detail page | Product Detail Template |
| Orders Approval Widget | For B2B customers who approve orders for others in their organisation | Process Orders Approval Page Template |
Tip!
To enforce pack quantity ordering by Role, add the widget to the template twice, then use Layers to target each role.
In the example, I've added the Product List Qty Box Widget (x 2) to my Product List Item Zoned template. One widget is for B2B, and the other for B2C.
I've ticked 'Increase Quantities In Pack Qty' only on the B2B widget. So B2B users will need to order in pack quantities, but B2C ones will not.
