I seriously spent more than usual trying to write a decent title. Still, I’m not 100% sure I’ve explained it well – so here’s some more context.
The WooCommerce Single Product Page add to cart form features a quantity input and an add to cart button. Super simple. Customers can define a quantity and add the current product to the cart.
Now, let’s imagine you want to change this experience based on your business requirements, and instead of the quantity input and add to cart button you want to show 3 buttons: “Add 1x to the cart“, “Add 2x to the cart“, “Add 3x to the cart“.
And if you can match this with a bulk quantity discount functionality, you can even change the messaging to e.g. “Add 1x to the cart“, “Add 2x to the cart and save $X“, “Add 3x to the cart and save $Y“…
So, let’s see how to hide the default add to cart form, and instead show buttons that allow the customer to add to cart a pre-defined product quantity (for simple products). As per this screenshot:

Advanced Plugin: WooCommerce Quantity Discounts, Rules & Swatches
If you’d love to code but don’t feel 100% confident with PHP, I decided to look for reliable plugins that achieve the same result (and more).
As usual, I’ve chosen WooCommerce plugin vendors based on reputation, support quality, code cleanliness, long-term reliability and – probably almost as importantly – where the people behind the plugin are active supporters of the WordPress ecosystem.
With the WooCommerce Quantity Discounts, Rules & Swatches plugin by Studio Wombat, you can enable tiered pricing, quantity swatches, min & max quantities, tooltips and multilingual support all from the same settings panel.
Hi Rodolfo,
Thanks for this. What if we wanted to also have a quantity input combined with this.
For example: You have two add to cart buttons both with quantity selectors.
The first button is for a single increment – so if someone selects 4 in the quantity and hits add to cart, 4 units are added to the cart.
The second button is for say 20 units – so if someone selects 4 in the quantity and hits add to cart, 80 units are added to the cart.
Thank you in advance!
Blair, thanks so much for your comment! Yes, this is definitely possible, but I’m afraid it’s custom work. If you’d like to get a quote, feel free to contact me here. Thanks a lot for your understanding!
Hi., Tried adding this, but the buttons got placed above the content. I am using Divi Theme Builder for single product pages, because client needs to have extra content added (tables etc). Any ideas on how to place these buttons after the regular Add to cart button? Tried all hooks in your Visual Hook Guide. And how to add these buttons in a single row?
