Quantity of Product Category in Cart Condition

The Quantity of Category in Cart display condition allows you to show or hide content based on the total number of products from a specific category that a visitor has added to their WooCommerce cart. This broader targeting approach enables you to create category-focused marketing strategies and cross-selling opportunities.

How It Works

This condition evaluates the combined quantity of all products from a chosen category currently in a visitor's cart. You can set rules to display content when the total quantity of products from that category meets specific criteria, allowing for strategic messaging based on category-level purchasing behaviour.

Setting Up the Rule

When configuring the Quantity of Category in Cart condition, you'll need to specify:

1. Category: Select the specific product category you want to monitor from your WooCommerce category structure
2. Comparator: Choose from three options:
   • More than - Display content when the total quantity exceeds your specified number
   • Less than - Display content when the total quantity is below your specified number
   • Is equal to - Display content when the total quantity matches your specified number exactly
3. Quantity: Enter the number of items you want to compare against

Common Use Cases

• Display care product suggestions when customers purchase beauty or skincare items

Category-specific Bundles

Important Notes

• The Quantity of Category in Cart condition only works with WooCommerce-enabled sites
• The rule counts all products from the specified category, regardless of individual product types
• Products assigned to multiple categories will be counted for each relevant category
• The condition updates dynamically as customers add or remove items from their cart
• This rule works for both logged-in and guest users
• If no products from the specified category are in the cart, the quantity is considered to be 0

1. Ensure WooCommerce is active and properly configured
2. Verify you've selected the correct category from the dropdown
3. Check that products are properly assigned to the expected categories
4. Confirm that the cart contains products from the specified category
5. Test with different quantities to ensure the rule triggers at the right thresholds
