๐Ÿ”’ How to Lock the Quantity in the Shopify Cart After a Cowlendar Booking


Prevent Customers From Changing the Booked Quantity

When you enable Cowlendarโ€™s Lock quantity after booking feature, customers will no longer be able to change the quantity of a booked service from the Shopify cart.

This prevents the quantity shown in the Shopify order from becoming different from the quantity selected during the booking process. It also helps prevent accidental overbooking and keeps the booking details aligned with the final order.
