Magento 2 is a popular platform for E-commerce and that is not without a reason!

The platform offers features that are suitable for all types of businesses, be it retailer, or wholesaler!

Today, I’ll discuss a solution to set minimum product quantity & fixed incremental quantity in Magento 2.

If you are a Magento 2 wholesaler store owner and want to set a minimum product quantity that a customer has to order, you can use this method. Additionally, you can set fixed incremental quantity value, i.e., a customer can purchase the “X” quantity of a  particular product at a time. You can also call it as set minimum order amount in your Magento 2 store.

For example, you offer a product that has set a minimum quantity of 3. Now, any customer cannot place an order with a quantity of less than 3. Also, if you have enabled quantity increment and set its value to 3, the customers can purchase that product in the quantity of multiple of 3 only. He can purchase, say, 3,6,9.., items but not 2 or 4 or 5!
