Description
LindyMOQ lets you set a minimum order quantity (MOQ) per SureCart product or per variant, and/or sell only in fixed multiples — for example in packs of 10, so customers can order 10, 20, 30, 40 … but nothing in between. Customers can order the minimum or more — but checkout is blocked if they try to go below it or off the pack size.
Both settings are managed from a dedicated settings page in WordPress admin (Settings LindyMOQ), independent of SureCart’s product editor.
Features
- Set a minimum order quantity per product, or per individual variant
- Sell in fixed multiples (increments) per product or variant — e.g. packs of 10 10, 20, 30, 40 …
- Combine both: a minimum of 20 with multiples of 10 yields 20, 30, 40 …; set only the multiple and it also becomes the minimum
- Product-page quantity selector is locked to the minimum and the + / − buttons jump by the pack size — no flicker, no client-side bypass
- Checkout is blocked server-side when the quantity is below the minimum or not a valid multiple
- Clear error message shown at checkout when the minimum or pack size is not met
- Quantities are aggregated across all line items before comparing to the minimum
- Stock-aware: current stock is shown next to each MOQ in the settings page, with a red « below MOQ » flag when stock is insufficient
- Strict stock gate on the product page: when stock is below the MOQ, the buy button is disabled and an « understocked — please check back soon » message is shown
- Honours SureCart’s « continue selling when out of stock » setting — when enabled, the stock gate is bypassed so backorders go through normally
- Simple settings page — no complicated configuration
Requirements
SureCart must be installed, active, and connected to the SureCart API.

FAQ
-
Does this work with SureCart product variants?
-
Yes. Products with variants show one minimum input and one « sell in multiples of » input per variant. Each setting applies to that specific variant’s quantity.
-
Can I sell products in fixed packs (e.g. only in multiples of 10)?
-
Yes. Set the « Sell in multiples of » field to
10and customers can only order 10, 20, 30, 40 … On the product page the + / − buttons jump by the pack size, and any other quantity is corrected. If you leave the minimum blank, the pack size also becomes the minimum. -
How do the minimum and the multiple work together?
-
They are independent. If you set a minimum of 20 and a multiple of 10, valid quantities are 20, 30, 40 … (the minimum is rounded up onto the nearest valid multiple). Set only the minimum for a plain MOQ, only the multiple for fixed packs, or both.
-
What happens when a customer orders below the minimum or off the pack size?
-
The product-page quantity selector starts at the minimum, cannot go below it, and only moves in valid steps. If a customer somehow reaches checkout with an invalid quantity, checkout is blocked server-side and they see a clear error message.
-
Does this apply across multiple line items?
-
Yes. Quantities are summed per product (and per variant) across all line items before comparing to the minimum and the pack size.
-
What happens if I have less stock than the MOQ?
-
By default, the buy button is disabled on the product page and a short « minimum order is X units, currently understocked » message is shown, so customers can’t add an order you can’t fulfil. In the settings page, the affected MOQ row shows a red « below MOQ » flag next to the stock count so you can spot the conflict.
If SureCart’s « continue selling when out of stock » is enabled for the product, the stock gate is bypassed entirely — the customer can still buy and you handle the backorder.
-
My product list is empty — why?
-
Make sure SureCart is active and connected to its API. The settings page fetches products via SureCart’s PHP SDK, which requires an active API connection.
-
What is the maximum number of products supported?
-
The settings page fetches all non-archived products in a single request. If you have a very large catalog and products are missing, contact the plugin author.

Journal des modifications
1.2.0
- New: « Sell in multiples of » setting per product or variant — sell only in fixed packs (e.g. multiples of 10 10, 20, 30 …)
- New: minimum and multiple can be combined (e.g. min 20 + multiples of 10 20, 30, 40 …); set only the multiple and it also becomes the minimum
- New: product-page + / − buttons jump by the pack size, and off-pack quantities are corrected automatically
- New: checkout validation rejects quantities that are not a valid multiple of the pack size
1.1.0
- New: stock-aware admin display — current stock shown next to each MOQ, flagged red when below MOQ
- New: product-page buy button is disabled with a clear « understocked » message when stock is below the MOQ
- New: respects SureCart’s « continue selling when out of stock » setting (gate is bypassed when on)
- Fix: quantity input value-trap is now re-applied on every render cycle, so the Interactivity API can no longer swap in an un-trapped input
- Fix: value-trap no longer attaches to non-input web components (avoids an « Illegal invocation » landmine)
- Fix: plugin action link no longer depends on the folder being named
