to have an option to override the rules on certain products – let me explain – currently i have a min order of 30 cards, which is fine for individual cards, but I also have a single product of ’50 pack of cards’ – but it is counted as 1 in the cart and not 50 – so if you add one 50 pack and 5 individual cards – it is only 6 in the cart (5 individ cards + 1x 50 pack) instead of 55… and then the min error comes up…

Hey there,
Thank you for getting in touch!
If you create a Simple Product called “Pack of 50” and you add it to the cart a single time, then this is considered as a single instance in WooCommerce, not 50. This means that when this product is purchased, its stock will reduce by 1, not 50. Similarly, Min/Max Quantities interprets this product as 1 item, not 50 when evaluating quantity restrictions.
A work around for this is to use Product Bundles: https://woocommerce.com/products/product-bundles/ to represent this pack. This Product Bundle could include the individual card Simple Product 50 times — to do this, you may add the card as a bundled item and set its Min and Max Quantity = 50 under the Product Data > Bundled Products settings: https://d.pr/i/dQfMRl.
Once you do this, every time this Bundle is purchased, then the inventory of the card product will reduce by 50. Moreover, Min/Max Quantities will correctly interpret the pack of cards as 50 products.
If you have any questions about setting up this Bundle, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our support team via: https://woocommerce.com/my-account/contact-support/.
I have the same issue. Any luck with an answer yet?
