Set quantity minimum, maximum and step at product level in Woocommerce

Question

I'm using "set minimum and maximum allowable product quantities to be added in WooCommerce Cart" to require a minimum and maximum quantity order.

Now, i need to impose for several products (not all) a mulitple quantity. For example : 6 bottles, 12 bottles, 18 bottles (multiple of 6) or for other 12 bottles, 24 bottles (multiple of 12)

I found a solution but it's for every product with a unique value and I cant' manage it in the back office for each product individually. I have to manage the multiple quantity in Backoffice.

Thank you if you can help me

Updated December 2020

The following revisited code will allow in addition to handle quantity steps.

I have changed quantity fields settings location to "General" settings tab.

I have added a checkbox that enables or disables those additional quantity settings at product level (showing or hiding the setting fields dynamically):

When checkbox unchecked (fields are not visible and quantity settings are disabled):

When checkbox is checked (fields are visible and quantity settings are enabled):

I have merged all settings in a unique custom field as an indexed array of values, to improve performance.

Since WooCommerce version 3, things have changed a lot, so I have made some changes enhancing and updating code to something more newer.

Also works nicely on Ajax add to cart for simple products, for product variations from variable products and also on the cart quantity input field.

All the code:

// Displaying quantity setting fields on admin product pages
add_action( 'woocommerce_product_options_pricing', 'wc_qty_add_product_field' );
function wc_qty_add_product_field() {
    global $product_object;

    $values = $product_object->get_meta('_qty_args');

    echo '</div><div class="options_group quantity hide_if_grouped">
    <style>div.qty-args.hidden { display:none; }</style>';

    woocommerce_wp_checkbox( array( // Checkbox.
        'id'            => 'qty_args',
        'label'         => __( 'Quantity settings', 'woocommerce' ),
        'value'         => empty($values) ? 'no' : 'yes',
        'description'   => __( 'Enable this to show and enable the additional quantity setting fields.', 'woocommerce' ),
    ) );

    echo '<div class="qty-args hidden">';

    woocommerce_wp_text_input( array(
            'id'                => 'qty_min',
            'type'              => 'number',
            'label'             => __( 'Minimum Quantity', 'woocommerce-max-quantity' ),
            'placeholder'       => '',
            'desc_tip'          => 'true',
            'description'       => __( 'Set a minimum allowed quantity limit (a number greater than 0).', 'woocommerce' ),
            'custom_attributes' => array( 'step'  => 'any', 'min'   => '0'),
            'value'             => isset($values['qty_min']) && $values['qty_min'] > 0 ? (int) $values['qty_min'] : 0,
    ) );

    woocommerce_wp_text_input( array(
            'id'                => 'qty_max',
            'type'              => 'number',
            'label'             => __( 'Maximum Quantity', 'woocommerce-max-quantity' ),

            'description'       => __( 'Set the maximum allowed quantity limit (a number greater than 0). Value "-1" is unlimited', 'woocommerce' ),
            'custom_attributes' => array( 'step'  => 'any', 'min'   => '-1'),
            'value'             => isset($values['qty_max']) && $values['qty_max'] > 0 ? (int) $values['qty_max'] : -1,
    ) );

    woocommerce_wp_text_input( array(
            'id'                => 'qty_step',

            'label'             => __( 'Quantity step', 'woocommerce-quantity-step' ),
            'placeholder'       => '',
            'desc_tip'          => 'true',
            'description'       => __( 'Optional. Set quantity step  (a number greater than 0)', 'woocommerce' ),
            'custom_attributes' => array( 'step'  => 'any', 'min'   => '1'),

Code goes in functions.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). Tested and works.
