Max Cart Quantity - User Guide
Limit the quantity allowed in the shopping cartChapter 1: Configuration options for Max Cart Quantity
This chapter will cover how to configure the Max Cart Quantity extension in Magento.
1.1Configuration overview
The Max Cart Quantity configuration is accessible from the top menu System → Configuration on the tab MageParts → Max Cart Qty.
- Navigate to System → Configuration in the top menu.
- Click on the Max Cart Qty tab in the MageParts section of the left-hand menu.
1.2General Settings
| Option | Description |
| Enabled | This controls whether or not the extension is enabled. |
| Max Cart Qty | Maximum number of items allowed in shopping cart. |
| Only Apply Qty Restriction For These Customer Groups | Here you can select which specific customer groups this restriction should apply for. If this setting is left empty the quantity restriction will apply for all customers. |
| Error Message | Message which will be displayed when the shopping cart has reached its quantity limit. See chapter 1.3 for more information regarding this message and what parameters can be used in it. |
1.3The Error Message Setting
In the Error Message setting you can enter a message which will be displayed when the shopping cart is "full" (ie. when the shopping cart has reached its quantity limit).
You are allowed to use two parameters in this message (please note that these parameters are optional, not required). Both parameters are defined by using the keyword %s, and they will be replaced on the frontend with other data.
The first instance of the keyword %s will be replaced by the maximal number of items allowed in the shopping cart (defined in the Max Cart Qty setting).
The second instance of the keyword %s will be replaced by the current quantity in the shopping cart + the number of items the customer just tried adding to the shopping cart.
If the quantity limit is 5 the error message would look as illustrated in the screenshot below.
