Give your customers the option to increase the quantity of their order at checkout!
Do you have a product or service that customers want to purchase multiple of? Adding a Quantity field to your checkout form will allow your customers to add more than 1 of the item to the order. This not only sells more, but also increases customer spending! The quantity field is tied to the pricing, so as your customer increases the quantity, the checkout total increases as well!
