Quantity

Hello support,

Is it possible to choose a decimal number for a product ?
For example if I sell vegetables, ... can I introduce 1,5 kilograms ?

Thanks in advance

Hello,
I think that reading that thread will probably help you :

You cannot enter a decimal value for a quantity. It's not something supported and not something easy to add for us as external services like paypal or the australia post do not support decimal quantity.

The easiest would be to put your product price for a cut and in the description the price in lb for reference. That way your customers could buy 1 cut, 2 cuts etc.

I too have an issue not being able to sell decimal quantities. Yards of fabric for quilting stores.

I have an idea for a decimal quantity plugin and I wonder if it is possible. Instead of using a decimal quantity in the quantity box, why not a separate box for the decimal quantity as an option. Then you can update the "Price With Options" accordingly. I think my idea would work for selling by pounds, or square meters, or cubic inches, etc. Please see my mockup attached with the example of:
1 [Quantity] X $10/yard [Price] X 2.75 Yards [Enterable Option] = $27.50 [Price With Options]

In my case, I would prefer to use a template with the quantity field hidden so that the customer only had to enter the "Length Cut" in yards and the quantity would stay at the default of '1'. However, some sites might want to sell two bags of 1.5 pounds of nails so they would leave it in.

That said, I don't know how my idea would work for inventory. My clients do need their fabric tracked in decimal yardages. But my idea would work for PayPal because they would be selling a non-decimal quantity of 1 cut of fabric:
1 [Quantity] Fabric [Description] Black [Variant] 2.75 Yards [Option] $10.00 [Price/Yard] $27.50 [Total Product Price]

This did not turn up in my searches. I appreciate the reply and will check it out. It might be later as I see I can't test it with the free version.
