Quantity grid (size runs)
For bulk orders split across sizes and colours: tap a colour, type how many of each size. One grid instead of ten unit rows.
The Quantity grid is a Pro display option for a multi-quantity variable item. The free plugin can buy a bulk run of identical items with "All the same"; the grid is for a run that is mixed across variations.
The problem it solves
Someone ordering ten team shirts rarely wants ten identical ones. They want a size run: a few small, a few medium, a couple of large, maybe across two colours. Configuring ten separate unit rows for that is slow. The quantity grid lets them type the quantities straight into a grid.
Turn it on
On the Bundle Items tab, set Multiple items to Quantity grid for the variable item. A second setting, Colour tiles, decides how each colour looks:
| Tile style | Shows |
|---|---|
| Swatches | a colour dot only |
| Swatches and names (default) | a colour dot with its name |
| Names | the colour name only |
| Photos | the colour’s variation photo |
Swatch colours come from your swatch settings, or are filled in from the colour name, so even a custom attribute shows real dots.
How customers use it
- The first attribute (usually colour) shows as tiles. Tapping one expands its sizes inline, with a count badge on the tile.
- They type a quantity into each size they want. A live “N of M chosen” and a running subtotal keep the target clear, and each cell shows its own stock.
- The grid auto-shapes to the product: many colours become tiles; a single-attribute item becomes a flat row of cells.
- On a phone it reflows to a stacked list, so there is never a sideways scroll.
In the cart the run breaks into clear lines (Navy / M times 3, Red / L times 2), and the pick list lists each variation with its quantity for the warehouse.
When to use it
- Workwear and team kit: the classic “ten shirts across these sizes” order.
- Any size run a customer buys in bulk but split across variations.
It pairs with a choice slot too: let the customer choose the garment, then order a size run of it.
The grid is for quantity at speed. If each unit needs its own name or number, use personalisation with the Compact cards layout instead, where every unit has its own fields. A single shared logo across the whole run still works alongside the grid.
