function woocommerce_add_to_cart_validationcustom( $passed, $product_id, $quantity, $variation_id, $variations ) {
	global $woocommerce;
	
	// Set a minimum item quantity
	$minimum = 10; 
		
	// Check if the quantity is less then our minimum
	if ( $quantity <= $minimum){
     wc_add_notice( sprintf( __( "This is my custom error", "your-theme-language" ) ) ,'error' );

    // Get product object
    $product = wc_get_product( $product_id );
    
    // Flag
    $flag = false;
    
    // Is a WC product
    if ( is_a( $product, 'WC_Product' ) ) {
        // Get the product attribute value
        $max_qty = $product->get_attribute( 'quantite_max' );
        
        // NOT empty
        if ( ! empty( $max_qty ) ) {
            // If new added quantity greater than max quantity
            if ( $quantity > $max_qty ) {
                $flag = true;
            // WC Cart NOT null & Cart is NOT empty
            } elseif ( ! is_null( WC()->cart ) && ! WC()->cart->is_empty() ) {
                // Get cart items quantities
                $cart_item_quantities = WC()->cart->get_cart_item_quantities();
                
                // Product quantity in cart
                $product_qty_in_cart = isset( $cart_item_quantities[ $product_id ] ) ? $cart_item_quantities[ $product_id ] : null;
                
                // New added quantity + product quantity in cart greater than max quantity
                if ( ( $quantity + $product_qty_in_cart ) > $max_qty ) {
                    $flag = true;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    
    // True
    if ( $flag ) {
        wc_add_notice( sprintf( __( 'Cant have more than %s x %s in cart', 'woocommerce' ), $max_qty, $product->get_name() ), 'error' );
        $passed = false;
