Sorry if this is a poor way of explaining it.

From time to time, I get a box of my product, that has 20 items in it. I want to be able to sell the whole box at once, and also, let customers buy either 1, 5, or 10 of the items at a time, too. So..

Lets say I enter the box and it has 20 items. A customer could buy 10, then another customer could buy 5, and then 5 more customers could buy 1 each. That would consume the available 20, and the product would have 0 in stock.

Also: buying a box is cheaper than buying singles. and since some come in 20, 24, 25.. 40.. 10..

How can I set this up with this module? Or, can you recommend a new way of thinking of this problem?

Clearly there is the quantity field - maybe this is simple as just setting that up to have preselected quantities?

Or is this solved by having product displays somehow?

You probably got more then one approach one of those may be (you will need to test it):

Add a two new filed
An Integer filed called "stock_volume" or smiler
Related product: a product reference field

Create two product variations

The fist variations will have
Stock: 20
Volume:1

The second variations will have
Stock: 1
Volume:20

Update related variation
Try and create a rule that on an update of a product updates the related product.
However the conditions and actions may need calculations that may be more then rules can handle without custom code.

I may consider adding this as a feature or a supporting module, if I can think of a good name for it :)

Let me know how you get on.
