# Quantity

The quantity block makes it possible to set a specific amount and change the price dynamically based on the quantity your customer selects at checkout.

The **_Quantity Input_** block is added from Block Options.

1. Hover within a section and click **_Add block_**
2. Select **_Options_** from the block type menu
3. Select **_Quantity_** from the options type menu
4. Configure your **_Quantity Settings_**.

## Quantity Settings

After you add the Quantity Input block to your checkout, a settings panel will display on the left of the screen. You can open this settings panel anytime by clicking on the Quantity block on the checkout canvas.

In the **_Quantity Settings_**, you can adjust pricing & display settings.

If you want to store the quantity selected as a value in a custom field, you can also map the quantity input to a Spiffy Custom Field, or an Integration Field. You will see the field mapping settings at the top of the sidebar when editing _Quantity Settings_.

![](https://university.spiffy.co/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Screen-Shot-2022-08-22-at-2.36.14-PM.png)This Quantity Input Block is a simple and linear quantity block, where you set a unit price, and the price changes by that unit price amount for every additional quantity purchased.

If you want to offer a discounted price for different quantities, you will need to setup normal **_Options_** with **_Price Modifiers_**, to have more control over the price for each quantity option. You would create a Dropdown Options block and set up _price modifiers_ for each option to mimic the **_Quantity Select Dropdown_** layout below.

## Layout Settings

At the bottom of the Quantity Input Settings, you will see **_Layout Settings_**.

### Quantity Input

Users can click in the field and type in any number, or click the +/- buttons to add or subtract quantity within the minimum and maximum numbers you set in the quantity input block settings.
