A chatbot that explains quantity rules
WooCommerce Min/Max Quantities stores quantity rules as postmeta on products under minimum_allowed_quantity, maximum_allowed_quantity, group_of_quantity, and allow_combination, plus a category-level meta on taxonomy terms for cart-wide caps. SleekAI exposes those keys as named variables on the bot's system message so a shopper trying to buy 8 of a product configured for groups of 6 gets a clear explanation, not a generic rejection.
That turns a confusing checkout error into a direct conversation. A shopper asks why their cart will not let them buy 8 candles, the bot reads group_of_quantity=6 and explains that this product is sold in packs of 6 and offers them 6 or 12. A wholesale buyer hits the cart-wide cap and the bot reads the category meta, confirms the daily allotment, and suggests splitting the order.
Display conditions can scope the bot to single product pages with quantity rules set and to the cart and checkout, so non-restricted products do not trigger the quantity-rule branch. Conversation logs capture each rejection-reason ask with model name and token usage, which is useful when product teams want to spot which rules are confusing real customers and which ones are working as expected.

Features
What SleekAI gives you for WooCommerce Min/Max Quantities
Pack-size math in chat
The bot reads group_of_quantity and offers the nearest valid quantities, so a shopper trying to buy 8 of a product sold in packs of 6 hears 6 or 12 with no further trip to the cart. The math happens in the conversation, not on the error page.
Min and max in plain language
minimum_allowed_quantity and maximum_allowed_quantity become "at least N" and "up to M" phrases. The bot explains why the cap exists when the store sets one, instead of returning a bare numeric error from the checkout validator.
Category-level rules
Term meta on the category enables cart-wide minimums and the allow_combination flag for mixed packs. The bot reads both and answers wholesale questions about hitting the category minimum across multiple products correctly.
Use cases
Where quantity-rule stores use SleekAI
Wholesale and B2B
Wholesale stores with case-quantity minimums answer "how many do I have to order" in chat instead of letting buyers bounce off a checkout error.
Packaged goods
Brands that sell only in pack sizes (6, 12, 24) explain why the cart rejected 8 units and offer the right valid quantities in the same reply.
Limited inventory
Stores with per-customer caps (drops, limited editions) explain the cap and the reason in chat, so shoppers do not feel they are hitting an arbitrary block.
The bigger picture
Why an AI layer on quantity rules saves carts
Quantity rules are one of the most common reasons a fully-loaded WooCommerce cart fails at checkout. The shopper has added 8 of a product, the store sells it in packs of 6, the checkout validator rejects the cart with a single-line error, and the shopper has no idea what to do next. Sometimes they edit the quantity, sometimes they leave.
Min/Max Quantities is the right tool for the rule, but its error message lives on the checkout page and stops there. A chatbot scoped to the product and cart pages picks up where the error message ends. It reads the same group_of_quantity, minimum_allowed_quantity, and allow_combination values that the validator uses, and turns the rejection into a one-sentence explanation plus the nearest valid quantities.
The shopper either picks one or leaves with a clear understanding of why. The store's logs then show which rules are generating the most questions, which is the closest thing to A/B testing the wording of a rule. Generic chatbots cannot do this.
They have no idea what minimum_allowed_quantity is, let alone whether a category-wide cap exists. They will either suggest contacting support (the cart abandons) or hallucinate a rule that does not exist (the cart abandons differently). The variable mapping closes the gap.
It also lets the bot do the math correctly, which matters more than it sounds: when the rule is groups of 6 and the shopper wants 8, the right answer is 6 or 12, not "please pick a multiple of 6." A model with the actual value in its system message does that automatically, every single time, in any language the model speaks.
Questions
Common questions about SleekAI for WooCommerce Min/Max Quantities
Yes. The plugin stores rules as product postmeta under minimum_allowed_quantity, maximum_allowed_quantity, group_of_quantity, and allow_combination. Category-level rules live on taxonomy term meta. SleekAI's variable mapping exposes both as named variables on the bot's system message.
 Yes, when the bot has the cart contents available. It reads the products in the cart, compares to each product's minimum_allowed_quantity, group_of_quantity, and category-wide caps, and explains in plain language which rule the cart failed and what valid quantities would clear the error.
 Yes. group_of_quantity is the meta that defines the pack size. The bot reads it and offers the nearest valid quantities (the one below and the one above the shopper's request), rather than just saying "please pick a multiple of 6," which forces the shopper to do the math.
 The plugin supports a category-level minimum that requires a buyer to hit a total quantity across products in that category. allow_combination on the term turns on "any 12 from this category counts." The bot reads both pieces of meta and answers wholesale questions accurately.
 Yes. When the bot is configured with the cart-update tool, it can prepare a one-click link that sets the quantity to the nearest valid number. The shopper clicks, the cart updates, and the rule is satisfied without manually editing the cart and re-trying the checkout.
 Variable products store the rules either on the parent product or the individual variation, depending on how the store configured them. SleekAI reads both layers and answers correctly for the variation the shopper selected, instead of always quoting the parent product's rule.
 The bot only exposes the configured rule values (minimum, maximum, group, allow_combination), which are the same values shown in the product schema and on the validation error already. Internal stock levels are not in the rule meta, so the bot cannot accidentally surface them.
 Every conversation logs to WordPress with the model name, token usage, and origin URL. Operators can sample logs to find products where the rule explanation seems to confuse customers (high follow-up rate after the bot's answer) and consider simplifying the rule itself or the product copy.
