Is there a way to set a minimum purchase? For example we have a six bottle minimum purchase when ordering online.
Thanks for any help you can send my way!

Hiya Melissa,
One way to do that is to create each of your products based on 6 bottles as the default and then add Optional Fields to give the option to add more. The drawback for this though is that you wouldn't be able to use the Optional Fields as part of the inventory system. If that don't matter then doing it this way works.
A more efficient way where you can also use the inventory control system is to create the products in different amounts with the smallest one being 6 if that's your minimum. So what you'd do is create the same product over and over and adjust the number of items included in that product. If you start with 6 then maybe do the next product for 8, then 10, 12, etc. or whatever denominations of quantity are the most common for your business. This gives full control of inventory this way and they can just choose whatever products will handle their denominations needed.
Other than that there is no system built into the program at this time that allows for setting up any type of minimums or maximums.
