Never Oversell Again.
Set Rules. Enforce Automatically.
Set order limits, automate store hours, and enforce purchase limits per customer. OrderRules validates every Shopify checkout using native Shopify Functions — so you never accept more orders than you can fulfill. Free plan available. Setup takes under 5 minutes.
Running out of capacity shouldn't mean losing customers
Without automated limits, you're constantly playing catch-up — manually closing your store, processing refunds, and handling disappointed customers.

Complete capacity control for Shopify
Everything you need to control when and how many orders your store accepts — built on Shopify Functions and fully compatible with Online Store 2.0. No code required.
Automated Store Hours
Set your opening hours for each day of the week. Checkout automatically enables at opening and disables at closing — zero manual work every day.
Order Capacity Limits
Set a maximum number of orders per day, week, or month. When you hit the limit, checkout pauses automatically and reopens when the period resets.
Per-Product & Variant Limits
Give each product its own capacity cap. Perfect for custom items, limited editions, or anything you make by hand.
Per-Customer Purchase Limits
Enforce purchase limits per customer to prevent hoarding and scalping. Limit how many orders, units, or dollars each customer can place per day, week, month, or lifetime — with strict login enforcement to block guest checkout workarounds.
Collection Limits
Set capacity limits across whole product collections. Manage fulfillment buckets, not individual SKUs.
Analytics & Reporting
Real-time capacity dashboard with daily order charts, blocked-order breakdowns, and up to 90 days of historical analytics — so you can tune your limits to match actual demand patterns.
Email Notifications
Get alerted at 75% and 100% of daily capacity. Plus optional daily summaries with order counts and remaining capacity.
Native Shopify Checkout Validation
Built on Shopify Functions — rule enforcement runs inside Shopify's own checkout engine via checkout validation extensions. Fast, reliable, and fully compatible with Online Store 2.0 themes, Shopify Plus, and headless storefronts.
Set your rules once. Let them run forever.
No daily manual work. No forgotten store closures. No overselling ever again.
Install & Connect
One-click install from the Shopify App Store. No API keys, no developer, no configuration files.
