WooCommerce by default adds a quantity input box to your product pages where customers can enter quantities, but a lot of times you want to have more control over the quantities and make it more idiot proof on your site for customers by allowing them to select the quantities instead of entering it themselves.
The following snippet of code I wrote will replace the default WooCommerce quantity input box and replace it with a dropdown select option of quantities. It is fully compatible with the Min/Max Quantities extension which allows you to display quantities in the dropdown based on the minimum, maximum and group values so the customer can only select values in which the product can be bought instead of having to use plus and minus buttons or entering a value manually.
To turn your WooCommerce quantity input boxes into dropdown select options simply copy the following code to your theme’s functions.php file

Thanks for this, it works on the Product page but on the Cart page it’s still a text box.
Hi Mark, yea unfortunately this will only work for the input on products, the cart input is not as easily overridable via hooks so for that you would need to override the whole cart.php template file.
I’ve tried you snippet code and although I was able to create that drop down menu, if I try decimal point like someone mentioned here it doesn’t add the item to the cart. Do you have any experience with this issue ?
I have the opposite problem – On my shopping cart, it is a dropdown menu, but instead of displaying the correct quantity in the cart it displays the minimum value (in my case, instead of displaying the quantity, it displays the quantity as 25). However, the cart subtotal is still correct…
Any ideas? 🙂
I have the same problem. does anyone have an answer to this?
This works great but the only issue I ran into is that my item doesn’t update for total price when the quantity is selected. I am using product ad-ons to add special things to each product. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Jake, yea unfortunately you will have to get some custom JavaScript coded to update the pricing based on a select option instead of the normal input field which Product Add-ons targets.
Thanks for the tip Gerhard!
Is there a way I can have this dropdown only for certain Categories and not all products?
Abhinav
For that you will have to put the code into a separate file like quanity-dropdowns.php inside your theme’s folder then in your theme’s functions.php file add the following code
add_action( 'init', 'wc_load_quantity_dropdowns' );function wc_load_quantity_dropdowns() {
if ( is_product_category( 'category-slug' ) ) {
include "quanity-dropdowns.php";
}
}
Thanks Gerhard, that sounds right.
Do you also know how I can allow these quantities to be floats and not just ints?
I was able to figure out how to use floats instead of ints. But now have hit another issue.
The conditional tag (is_product_category(‘category-slug’)) returns true only if I am on the category archive page. What I need is a check to see if a particular product (on a single product page) belongs to a particular category.
I couldn’t find any such conditional tag in the woocommerce docs. Any way I can create a custom check?
Hello again,
I was able to find how to change the min value to 0.1 and the increment step also to 0.1.
But:
– my cart is obviously calculating in int, because below “1” I am not able to see the products in the cart (it remains empty)
– the price is not calculated obviously only for ints
– increasing the quantity in the cart is leading to calculation errors – some overflow?
It would be great if anyone could help. Thanks again!
Hello,
I am new to php and woocommerce.
Trying to find out how change the quantities to floats instead of ints, so customers can order decimal (for fabric lengths).
I can see the same question above, but can’t see the answer.
Can you please help?
Thanks!
Thank you! I have spent hours trying to figure this out. Thank you for the quick fix. You are a genius! I was able to set the steps by two for my client so that his customers can order contact lenses in pairs.
Thanks again.
Hi Kelly, glad I could help!
Hello, this seems perfect for what I need. I have a vineyard that only sells in quantities of 3. I just cannot tell where to place the code in the functions.php file. It is the themes functions.php correct? not the woocommerce-functions.php. There is so much code in the file. Please advise as to where I past the code. Thank you very much.
Steve, you will place this in your theme’s functions.php file not the woocommerce-functions.php file
Hi Gerhard, great little snippet, just what I needed. Thanx!
Nice work Gerhard!
What step indicates here?
Hi Hitesh, step is the amount you want to jump with, ie if you enter 10 it will be 10, 20, 30, 40 etc
How about if I just want the default number to start at like 10 within a grouped product, would I use some part of this code? thanks in advance
Hi,
Nice simple solution, thank you!
Is there a way to also display the relevant price next to the quantities in the dropdown?
Thanks.
Hello Gerhard,
I need you help.
I am working on a woo’s extension and need to override extension’s templates with my theme’s for future extension update, but its not working .
I am approaching this way.
my_theme -> my_extension_folder -> templates -> template-file.php
Can you help me out with this.
Thanks in advance.
Hari
Hi Hari, the template needs to go into yourtheme/woocommerce/templatefile.php for more details please see http://docs.woothemes.com/document/template-structure/
Hi Gerhard,
I just tested your code, but for a product where only 1 is on stock, it still shows me a dropdown going to 20, that doen’t sound right. And I’m willing to overwrite cart.php to have a dropdown there as well, can you tell me what to overwrite in the template file?
Kind regards,
Willem
Hi Willem
The code does not check minimums when displaying the dropdown, also with regards to the dropdowns on the cart that is not part of the code. I am wrapping up a premium extension that will do all this to be released in early 2014.
What do you mean with ‘ minimums’, when there is one on stock that is the ‘maximum’ right?
Hi Willem
That, and when you are using the Min/Max quantities extension you can define minimum values to order, the extension will be compatible with that.
We’ve been using this snippet and it’s worked great – thanks! It seems that after we upgraded to WC 2.1, it’s not working for us any longer – if increasing quantity and hitting “update cart”, quantity gets reset to 1 again. If removing snippet from functions file and using standard +/-, it’s possible to increase quantity.
Would be interesting to know if something in WC might have disabled the snippet and if there is a fix?
Thanks Bro!
Helped…
What if you want arbitrary jumps between the values? For instance, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 3000 to be the ONLY available quantities?
Is there a better way to manage this?
Hi Desi, this code does not work for that, that is something you will have to get custom developed to take a list of quantities to use.
Hi Gerhard,
First off, great snipped. It is really helpful. Basically, since updating to 2.1.6, the dropdown menu now shows in the cart page, which would be fantastic, but of course, it is stuck on 1 all of the time, and if you change it and hit update cart, it stays on the number you initially added to the cart.
So, my question is – can this be easily updated to work in the cart page, or can it simple be disabled to just have a text box instead when viewing the cart. Either of those work for me.
I really appreciate your time and effort on this snippet dude, great work 🙂
Does anyone know the fix for this as i am having the exact same issue with the quantity update on the cart page?
Many thanks
Ash
Hi Gerhard,
Thanks for posting. We found this very useful and have added some additional functionality to set a default quantity conditional on category. We’ve blogged about this and added a gist.
More here: http://raison.co/woocommerce-product-quantity-dropdown-default-qty/
Thanks

hi Gerhard,
first your code works well directly on functions.php
but i if
use the conditional
add_action( ‘init’, ‘wc_load_quantity_dropdowns’ );
function wc_load_quantity_dropdowns() {
if ( is_product_category( ‘category-slug’ ) ) {
include “quanity-dropdowns.php”;
}
}
it give me Fatal error: Cannot redeclare woocommerce_quantity_input()
second:
is there a safe way to modify the quantity selection using woocommerce_cart_item_quantity and so make everythings works also in the cart
I’m using the quanty script:
// Simple products
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_quantity_input_args’, ‘jk_woocommerce_quantity_input_args’, 10, 2 );
function jk_woocommerce_quantity_input_args( $args, $product ) {
$args[‘input_value’] = 6; // Starting value
$args[‘max_value’] = 48; // Maximum value
$args[‘min_value’] = 6; // Minimum value
$args[‘step’] = 6; // Quantity steps
return $args;
}
// Variations
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_available_variation’, ‘jk_woocommerce_available_variation’ );
function jk_woocommerce_available_variation( $args ) {
$args[‘max_qty’] = 1; // Maximum value (variations)
$args[‘min_qty’] = 1; // Minimum value (variations)
$args[‘step’] = 1; // Quantity steps
return $args;
}
The variation product can be order one piece, the rest per 6. Now i can select the variation product per 1, but when i enter the cart, the minimum is set to 6! But with a variation product it has to be one.
Can you help me?
Thx,
greets Marcel
This works great on my product detail pages ex. http://lpdevsite1.azurewebsites.net/shop/standard-size-ultimate-cloth-5-pack/) , but not on my actual store pages (http://lpdevsite1.azurewebsites.net/shop/) If you could give me some guidance on where else to put this snippet to get this dropdown any place I have a quantity selection that would be AWESOME!
Great snippet!
This will come in very handy for our future projects! Hats off Gerhard…
I’m trying to move from our existing store at exit82art.com to a woocommerce store, however there is only one thing stopping approval from moving forward and buying the plugins needed.
I need to be able to do exactly what you’ve done, but on a per variation basis. If you look at my sample product (http://wp.exit82art.com/?product=test-product), it has 4 variations. Coasters has a step of 4, so the dropdox would show 4,8,12…, but magnets are step by 6, so it would show 6,12,18…
Either the dropdown would change based on the variation chosen or I could put a dropdown by each variation.
Are either possible? Can you advise on the best way to accomplish this?
This is quite helpful!
Would it be possible / take a lot of work to alter it to pull the drop down amounts from a shared attribute’s values for every product id?
aka
Pogosticks attribute = pa_sell-quantities [ 10|20|40|80|160 ]
Beachballs attribute= pa_sell-quantities [ 20|40|80|100|1000]
How can i use Text Field at Woo Commerce Number Field ?
Please Help me out.
Thanks In Advance.

Great advice here. Question: How do I remove the quantity option all together? I do not need it for my current project.
Hello!
I am using this bit of code in conjunction with WooCommerce Advanced Product Quantities. This way I can set an order minimum/maximum.
Is it possible to set product quantity intervals, (eg, 25, 50, 75, 100, 250, 500, 1000, etc.) ?
Thanks for your great work!
Jon
Hi,
I tried this and no dropdowns.
Is there an update to this code? Hopefully!
Thanks 🙂
Hi there! and many thanks for the plugin! It works perfectly.
I just want to know if there is a way to make a custom intervals. Let me explain.
Let´s say we have a minimum product: 50
And I need these intervals:
50-100
101-500
501-1000
1001-1500
1501-2000
2001-3000
Hello!
I’m using this script and I really like it. But there is a small problem with this, when I get to the cart the number of how many items I added to my cart is not showing as selected in the dropdown. If I remove the script the number is there but with the dropdown it’s not.
Anyone know what it could be?
Thanks
/Jimmie
thanks, very helpful
hi! nice article 🙂 i’ve just tried the code, and it works on my site, but can you explain me how to make the quantity into the selected quantity in the checkout page, not the default amount, namely 1. . because when i choose quantity 2, it calculates correctly based on the price but on the cjeckout page the dropdown menu returns into 1 again..
thank you..
hello your code is not working for me it shows dropdrown but after selecting qty not updating
Same here – I added your code to functions.php and the appearance is fine/works. But when I try to change the amount in the cart it doesn’t work/nothing changes.
Hi,
If I use this in my functions.php file it works perfectly BUT it adds the code also on the cart page etc. I want the selector only on the Single Product page. I tried wrapping it in ..
if ( is_product() ) { // check if single product page
selector code here
}
I did not get a selector, I think the problem is that the page is not known yet.
I then tried wrapping all of that in this
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘init’ );// do when page type is known
function init() {
Page detect and selector code here
}
This just throws an error saying can not re-declare woocommerce_quantity_input()
Can I fix this?
Why doesn’t the text box work? I’m happy with it being there but you can’t input any numbers and the arrows don’t work?
Great code, but is it possible to have this applied to only one Woocommerce Product Category? Or, to have it not applied to products that are specified as single item purchase, because it overrides that specification.
I have added your drop-down code great works fine, how do i modify it so it can reduce the cart quantity..as well as increase all in one.
‘quantity’,
‘input_value’ => ‘1’,
‘max_value’ => apply_filters( ‘woocommerce_quantity_input_max’, ”, $product ),
‘min_value’ => apply_filters( ‘woocommerce_quantity_input_min’, ”, $product ),
‘step’ => apply_filters( ‘woocommerce_quantity_input_step’, ‘1’, $product ),
‘style’ => apply_filters( ‘woocommerce_quantity_style’, ‘float:left; margin-right:10px;’, $product )
);
if ( ! empty( $defaults[‘min_value’] ) )
$min = $defaults[‘min_value’];
else $min = 1;
if ( ! empty( $defaults[‘max_value’] ) )
$max = $defaults[‘max_value’];
else $max = 20;
if ( ! empty( $defaults[‘step’] ) )
$step = $defaults[‘step’];
else $step = 1;
$options = ”;
for ( $count = $min; $count <= $max; $count = $count+$step ) {
$options .= '’ . $count . ”;
}
echo ” . $options . ”;
}
?>
Excellent mate, l had installed genesis and genesis magazine theme for a woocommerce eshop called roloi.net.gr and the cart was not displaying the quantity properly.
Thanks to you l changed it to a numercal quantity!!!
Thanx
Hi,
Do you think this works with woothemes bookings plugins too?
