You create a characteristic for the quantity selection and turn off the display of the quantity field with the corresponding option of the configuration. 2. You can develop a small quantity box template override ( there is some documentation on that here: [ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/6...r-documentation.html](http://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/62-hikashop-developer-documentation.html) ) : [ www.hikashop.com/forum/4-how-to/15254-re...uantity-ordered.html](http://www.hikashop.com/forum/4-how-to/15254-restricting-quantity-ordered.html) The following user(s) said Thank You: [csymmonds](/forum/user/9149-csymmonds "View csymmonds's Profile") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzItZ2VuZXJhbC10YWxrLWFib3V0LWhpa2FzaG9wLzg2NDcyMy1jb250cm9sbGluZy1yZXN0cmljdGluZy1xdWFudGl0eS1vcmRlcmVkP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/register) to join the conversation.
