				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Magento 2 supports minimum purchase quantities. This setting defines the minimum number of units that must be added to the cart. If you want the Add to Cart button on a Magento 2 category page (<strong>list.phtml</strong>) to ignore that minimum and add a different quantity instead, the following code may help.</p>
<p>Insert this code inside the <strong>tocart-form</strong> form in the template <strong>Magento_Catalog/templates/product/list.phtml</strong> Ihres Child Themes ein.</p><pre class="crayon-plain-tag">&lt;input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;qty&quot; value=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;</pre><p></p>
<p>After redeploying and reloading the category page, the cart should receive quantity 1 instead of the configured minimum quantity. You can change this value as needed.</p>]]></content:encoded>
