Product quantity can be bound to different policies. The policy defines how the module behaves and how it manipulates the quantity of the product.

When a user enters the quantity, the ordered quantity can specify a number of items (pieces, packs, etc.) in a shopping cart. When the user presses the "Add to Cart" button, the module adds a row to the order. When the user adds more items of the same product, the module combines all specified quantities in the same row. It is a regular PrestaShop behavior.

The ordered quantity can specify a number of whole units (but not items), for example, meters. When the user enters the quantity of 45 meters for the rope, the shopping card will contain one product (rope) with the specified length of 45 meters and not 45 items of the rope as it would happen in the standard PrestaShop installation. While using whole units, every time when the user presses the "Add to Cart" button, the module adds new row with the specified quantity to the shopping cart. Note: you can override this behavior by choosing aggregate quantities option in "quantity mode".

The quantity can also specify the fractional units (quantity in decimal values), like kilogram or meter. This is the mandatory behavior for the grocery or fabrics shops. While using fractional units, every time when the user presses the "Add to Cart" button, the module adds new row with the specified quantity to the shopping cart. Note: you can override this behavior by choosing aggregate quantities option in "quantity mode".

The price display mode used in the current example:
- as product price

Dynamic price display is an additional visual element added in the Product Properties Extension. Price is displayed for the specified quantity and immediately re-calculated when quantity changes. This gives the user better shopping experience.

In normal mode, the module calculates and displays price in a separate block.

In the as product price mode, the module displays calculated price instead of the default product price.

In the hide price display mode the module does not display the calculated price.

This example uses 0.5 kg as a product default quantity.

The default quantity is an initial quantity displayed on a product page. The module also uses the default quantity when you add product to the card from the pages that have "Add to cart" button but do not offer the quantity field, like home page.

This example uses user defined customizations feature.

The Product Properties Extension module and plugins support customizations defined by user. You can write your own code in PHP and your code will be called when needed.

You can write, for example, code that validates products in an order using your own rules. From your code, you can call PrestaShop internal methods, access the database or perform any other designed activities. This gives endless possibilities to adjust your site to your needs.

In order to use the customizations you need to install a "Product Properties Extension customization" module. Please contact our friendly customer support for instructions. PS&More team can also write code for you and provides paid customization service for our customers.

The customizations used on this demo site are not part of the "Product Properties Extension customization" module distribution.
