FEATURE REQUEST: Minimum order quantities, and incremental quantities

[BronzeBee]

Hi!

So I don't have a square store setup yet - as matter of fact, this feature is the determining factor on whether I can use Square at all (as I've been leaning to Square over it's competitors) or whether I have to use another website/POS system entirely.

I'm suggesting that stores should be able to set a particular item to have a minimum order quantity
Along with the ability to have order amounts go up by set increments.

To give an idea:
It's common for stores selling items like Fabric, trim etc (Stores like Lincraft, Spotlight)to sell by the metre, where the minimum order amount is something like 20cm and you go up by 10cms as needed. So you can buy 20cm(or 0.2), 30cm, 40,cm, 130cm(1.3m), etc as these items need to be measured and cut to order

Reasoning: You can't sell it as units. When buying fabric you may only need to buy 1.2 metres(for example), so you can't use the options that go up by 1 incremental lots - as that would stick customers with having to pick either 1 or 2.

A Minimum quantity would also be needed, as someone ordering 10cm (example) would literally not be worth my time.

For businesses related to sewing, crafts etc these two features are a must. I hope Square can consider implementing them

Thanks

Thanks for getting in touch @BronzeBee. We really appreciate you taking the time to give feedback on this one.

Minimum order quantity is something that’s definitely on our radar that we hope to implement in the future, though we don’t have an exact timeline for this at the moment.

Although this feature isn’t available yet, you might want to check out this thread which discusses potential workarounds, and see if any of the options listed would suit your business.

While this may not be exactly what you’re looking for, you are able to set a minimum order amount for Square Online Pickup orders. This can be set up in your Square Online Settings in Fulfilment > Pickup & Delivery > Edit Location > Scroll to Pickup Settings > Toggle on Minimum order amount > Set price. I've attached a screenshot for your reference.

Let us know if you have any other questions.
