    Is there a way to Require sales in a given quantity

    We have an item that we purchase and sell by the piece. However, they come shrink wrapped in packages of four. Is there a way to require customers to purchase in multiples of four, but still list a single price?
    Thank you,
    John

    Seems like it would make sense to just sell the 4-pack as a single product? Of course, in that case, the 4-pack price will show up on search engines, which might make shoppers think that you're charging more than other dealers. I have a small utility module that will allow you to set up restrictions, so that customers have to buy the item in multiples of four (and also other numbers, if you have other products with similar requirements). If you're interested in that, you can drop me a line by email.

      I agree totally, but I can't order them in packs of four. I have to order them singly. I use StoneEdge and I'd have to remember to change the order to 4 times what it thinks I want. Then I would have to manually fix it when I receive the order. Too many chances to make mistakes.

        You should be able to use Kits to accomplish this.

          In OM you can setup Kits. We have thousands of them because we sell Single, Dozen and Cases of products. So the Single Piece has the inventory count on it. The Dozens and Cases are made up of 12 and 600 of the single piece SKU.

          In your case.......
          1. In OM add the SKU Widget_0001 which has your inventory count
          2. In OM have Widget_0004 setup as a Kit made of of 4pcs of Widget_0001
          3. In your store just have Widget_0004 being sold.
          When OM imports from the store it will deduct 4 pcs of Widget_0001 from inventory to fill Widget_0004.
