About the Extension
Intelligently control order quantities, reduce logistics workload, sell more
Who hasn't seen this before?
A wine retailer ships a single bottle in a box designed for twelve. A merchant orders three units even though the packaging unit requires six. The result: unnecessary picking effort, rising shipping costs, and dissatisfied customers on both sides.
By default, Shopware allows you to define minimum purchase quantities and quantity increments — but only globally, the same for all customer groups. What if your B2C customer can buy 6 bottles, but your restaurant customer may only order from 30 bottles upward?
The solution: Customer-group-specific quantity increments
GroupMinimumScaledOrder solves exactly this problem. The extension allows you to define individual minimum purchase quantities and quantity increments per customer group for each item — fully dynamic based on the groups defined in Shopware.
Flexible Multiple Scales per Customer Group
The extension now supports not just a single scale per customer group, but any number of tiered quantity ranges. This allows you to define different rules for different purchase quantities — for example:
- Small quantities (2–10 items): scaling in steps of 2
- Large quantities (11–30 items): scaling in steps of 5
- Wholesale (from 31 items): scaling in steps of 10
This way, the scaling automatically adapts based on the quantity — without manual intervention and without special handling in the checkout.
Specific benefits for your shop
Your wine shop as an example:
The item Wine Châteauneuf-du-Pape red behaves completely differently for different customer groups:
- B2C end customers buy from 6 bottles in increments of 6 — e.g. 6, 12, 18, 24 …
- Restaurants (B2B) order from 30 bottles in increments of 12 — e.g. 36, 48, 60 …
- Wholesalers, in turn, follow their own, even coarser quantity increments
Everything runs fully automatically: no manual checks, no checkout exceptions.
What you gain:
- Shipping boxes are used optimally
- Picking becomes predictable and scalable
- Customers only see the quantity options relevant to them
- No adjustment effort when adding new customer groups — the plugin reads them dynamically from Shopware
Product variants? No problem. Quantity increments and minimum purchase quantities are stored on the main variant and automatically apply to all variants. You can also define individual quantity increments and minimum purchase quantities for each variant.
Set it up now and benefit immediately
GroupMinimumScaledOrder is the most effective solution for all Shopware operators who:
- serve both end customers and business customers,
- use differentiated customer groups, e.g. "small restaurants" vs. "large restaurants",
- or simply want to keep logistics and shipping costs consistently under control.

Our extension is generally compatible with all our own extensions, provided that the respective functionalities do not conflict with each other.
