How to prevent "Add to Cart" if no tickets were selected

[keystoliteracy]

I’ve renamed “Add to Cart” to “Register” because that makes more sense for my scenario.

However I’m afraid people won’t realize they have to select a # of tickets first – before clicking “Register” and I noticed that if they click that Register/Add to Cart button without selecting the # of tickets then it takes them to the shopping cart page with the mesage “Your cart is currently empty” which would be super confusing.

How can I give them a validation error if they press Add to Cart with no tickets selected?

Thanks!

Good evening Abby and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.

As a first step, could you please provide us with your complete system information in a private reply using the instructions found in the following link?

For now, I am going to assume that you are using WooCommerce (since it’s the most popular solution).

You can add a validation error by:

1. Using a plugin to do so. E.g.: https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-incremental-product-quantities/
2. Using some code in the functions.php file of your WordPress theme: https://www.sitepoint.com/minimum-checkout-requirements-in-woocommerce/

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!
