How to limit sales per item to one per order?

[bookbrewer]

I'm a new ejunkie user. Can someone tell me how to limit the sales for an item to just one per order?



I need to do this because of a shipping issue. But if it's not possible to limit to one per order, another solution would be to have tiered shipping rates as people add items to an order. I can't figure out how to set this up in the shipping settings -- it's a little unwieldy.

Hello,



You can uncheck the "Let buyers edit the quantity in their cart" option in each product's settings, that would prevent anyone from ordering more than one of a particular item at a time.



We do have shipping features that could set tiered rates based on the quantity or total of an order, or we can also do Per Item calculations. If you could give us a full rundown of the shipping costs you want to charge we can give you more specific instructions on how to implement them.

So easy. Thank you! This was a good quick fix.



I do, however, want to change it in the future to allow people to order more than one item at a time. We have a very simple formual. The first item in a single order is $6.50, and we add on $1 for every additional item in the same order. Can you walk me through how to set that up in the shipping settings?



Thank you for your help!

If you're only shipping within the US, it's simplest to set up a flat $1 per item with a one-time Handling fee of $5.50 added to the shipping charges for each shippable order:



Go to Seller Admin > View/Edit/Delete Products:

Select an existing shippable product of yours and click Edit;

On the first screen, if Shipping/Buyer's Address is not checked there, tick that box;

Click Next until you can Submit to save settings (Shipping Options will not matter);

Repeat this for all your tangible goods;

When adding new shippable products, remember to enable Shipping/Buyer's Address.

Go to Seller Admin > Cart Shipping Settings and set up the following:

Shipping Origin: select United States and enter your zipcode;

Shipping Destinations: select United States;

Handling: 5.50;

Leave all other settings blank or 0.00;

Click Next to save settings and proceed to the Shipping Rules screen.

In the Existing Shipping Rules menu, select and Delete any Rules you may have saved there.



Set up your first Shipping Rule for Domestic shipping:

Shipping Rate Calculator: Flat;

Shipping Amount: 1.00;

Country: United States;

Click Submit to save the Rule.

Click Back to Admin, and you're done!
