Show text based on quantity selected in Woocommerce

The “easy” way is to use jQuery (or your JS tool of choice) to hook into the quantity fields update actions, and display a value/element based on the value. If you know your way around JavaScript it’s not too hard.

Hi @catacaustic thanks for the help.

Where would you start learning on doing Woocommerce customizations like this?

This is my quantity HTML

<div class="quantity">
		<label class="screen-reader-text" for="quantity_5cecb413c9597">Quantity</label>
		<input type="number" id="quantity_5cecb413c9597" class="input-text qty text" step="1" min="1" max="" name="quantity" value="1" title="Qty" size="4" inputmode="numeric">
	</div>

Start by learning about jQuery, and the functions that it adds. It is one of the easiest to learn, so shouldn’t be too hard to do. As a bonus it’s already part of WordPress so there’s no extra things to add.

How about hooking into the quantity fields and update actions? Where can I learn that?

jQuery… That’s the backbone of it all. https://jquery.com/

Honestly, I would keep it simple and just copy and paste those times as you have them here in the short description…

But if you want the fancy, then I think you can try with a variable product and add a description for each variation.

@webmasterhouston That’s a unique way of doing it however those manufacturing times are based on the quantity selected.

UPDATE: I tried it and it doesn’t look too bad! Screenshot – https://prnt.sc/nu92pr

Moved to Fixing WordPress, this is not a Developing with WordPress topic. For plugin specific help please use that plugin’s support sub-forum instead.

Is that the short description? It looks good enough to me, as it communicates the info right upfront.

Here a somewhat pointless rambling:

I have being thinking about this question of yours…

I kinda contemplate the option of having some sort of shipping classes and see if can work it that way… no sure about that solution neither…

What I realize is that you are talking about manufacturing time… and this is field that is not part of woo-commerce… there are ways to create custom fields, such as plugins and the so… but… to link them to the product count…

I think part of the problem is that people usually don’t want to punish costumers for buying more, so nobody have develop plugins for that effect… most of what I find is for instance reducing the price of the product as the quantity increase… stuff like that… trying to motivate them to buy more.

I get it you are manufacturing on a pulling fashion, you have not stack and create the product as the orders are placed… what would you do if 10 costumers place orders of 5 each? are you still going to deliver within 5 days the 50 of them? or your process is maxed out this way?

In that case I would just suggest to email the costumer with the schedule time for his order.

@webmasterhouston Yes, I used the short description to communicate the lead time upfront.

The ideal solution for us is to input a quantity range and associate a lead time to that.

For example,
Qty
1 to 5 = 2 days lead time
6 to 10 = 5 days lead time
11 to 20 = 10 days lead time
21 to 100 = 14 days lead time

If the user orders multiple products, we would take the product with the highest lead time.

Product 1 requires 5 days.
Product 2 requires 2 days.

We would show a 5 days lead time. This is to set the expectation of the worst case scenario.

I still haven’t found a solution though. I might need to get this custom built.
