As a Shopify merchant, you can add specific tags to your products, which EliteCart utilizes to customize the appearance and functionality of these products in the cart. Below are the possible tags and their uses:
_elite_hide_quantity_selector
_elite_no_link_to_product
This tag hides the quantity selector for a product, ensuring customers cannot change the quantity of the item in the cart.
Possible Use Cases:
Limiting Upsell Quantities: Assign this tag to specific products shown as upsells to limit the quantity of the upsell item to 1. This prevents customers from adding multiple quantities of a promotional or limited-stock item by going to the cart page.
Fixed Quantity Items: Use this tag for products that should only be purchased in a specific quantity, such as subscription boxes, kits, or bundles. See note 2 below.
Promotional Items: Apply this tag to promotional items or samples where you want to limit the quantity to 1 per order. See note 2 below!
Notes:
This functionality is automatically applied to gifts added using the reward bar gift feature, so no need to add tags additionally in that case.
This tag does not actually limit the product quantity a customer can add. It only hides the quantity selector in the cart. That means, the customer could still add the same product multiple times from the product page unless you prohibit it (e.g. through custom liquid code / javascript that hides the add to cart button if the product is already in the cart).
If you want to hide all quantity selectors across your cart, consider using custom CSS instead. This method is more efficient for global changes and reduces the need for individual product tagging.
Alternative: Using Line Item Properties
Instead of tagging products, you can dynamically hide the quantity selector for specific cart line items by adding a line item property when the product is added to cart.
Property name: __eliteHideQuantitySelector
Set this property to any truthy value (e.g., true, "1", "yes") when adding an item to cart, and EliteCart will hide the quantity selector for that specific line item.
When to use properties vs tags:
Use tags when you want to always hide the quantity selector for a product
Use line item properties when you want to conditionally hide the selector (e.g., only when added from a specific page or via a specific flow)
This follows the same pattern as __eliteCartGift which is already documented in the auto-discount gifts article.
This tag removes links from the product picture and the product title for this particular product. It is often combined with tag 1).
Possible Use Cases:
Use this tag for products where you'd like to hide the product page / make it inaccessible.
