Min Max Quantity Control

Original poster
Hello everyone

I am working on a quantity control system for shopping platforms and I really need help from developers.

This system lets store owners decide things like:

• The minimum number of items people can buy

• The number of items people can buy

• Rules for buying certain items like they have to be bought in groups of 5 or 10

I want to solve problems that happen in real life such as:

- Stopping people from buying too much of something that is not available in large quantities

- Making it easy for people to buy large quantities of items like for a business

- Keeping track of popular or restricted items

- Making sure the buying process is easy to understand and manage

As a developer I want to know:

1. How you usually check if someone is buying the quantity of items. Do you do it on the website on the server or both?

2. What are some special cases I should think about like if someone changes their shopping cart or buys kinds of items or if there are problems with the inventory?

3. Are there any performance issues I should consider when applying these rules in time?

4. How can I make sure people have an experience when they have to follow strict rules, about quantities?

I am not trying to sell anything. I just want to make this system better.

Thank you for your help.
