My boss is looking to put a quantity requirement, meaning he wants them to buy 3, not just one or two. Is it possible to set that up with PayPal buttons?

If you use a Buy Now Button created from your PayPal Account, you can add an advanced variable of quantity=3 and then the payment button would automatically have a quantity of 3.
Here are the steps to creating a Buy Now button with the Advanced Variable quantity=3:
- Log into your PayPal Account
- Click on Tools
- Click on All Tools
- Click on PayPal Buttons
- Choose Buy Now Button
- Fill in the information on your button
- Click on Step 3
- Click in the Advanced Variables box at the bottom of the page
- Fill in quantity=3
- Create the button
- Copy and paste the Email URL or Button code to your website
The only quantity allowed is 3 in the Buy Now Button.
I tested the Add To Cart button with the quantity=3 advanced variable. It does make the quantity 3, however, your buyers can subtract the quantity when on the PayPal Hosted Shopping Cart. As a result best option if you want the quantity to be 3 is to use the Buy Now button.
Another option is to have a Web Developer create a shopping cart for you and setup a script that makes the minimum quantity 3.
Also another option is to use a 3rd Party Shopping Cart or Plugin that allows order minimums.
Thank you,
Jennifer

Is there an additional variable that can restrict the buyer from entering a lower amount?
