Per-Product Limits
2 min read
Control Quantities for Specific Products
Product limits let you cap how many units of a particular product a customer can add to a single order. You can also enforce minimum quantities for wholesale or bundled items.
How to Add a Product Limit
- Go to Product Limits from the dashboard
- Click Add Product Limit
- Select the product you want to limit
- Set a minimum quantity (optional) and/or maximum quantity
- Click Save
Maximum Quantity
Cap the number of units per order.
Product: Custom Birthday Cake
Max per order: 2
Result:
Customer orders 1 cake: OK
Customer orders 2 cakes: OK
Customer orders 3 cakes: Blocked at checkout
Best for: Limited-edition items, high-demand products, or anything with restricted production capacity.
Minimum Quantity
Require a minimum number of units per order.
Product: Bulk Coffee Beans (5lb bag)
Min per order: 5
Result:
Customer orders 3 bags: Blocked ("Minimum order is 5 bags")
Customer orders 5 bags: OK
Best for: Wholesale items, bulk pricing tiers, or products sold in fixed batch sizes.
What Customers See
On product pages:
- A badge showing the limit (for example, "Limit: 3 per customer")
- For logged-in customers with history: "2 remaining for you this week"
- When maxed out: a message indicating they have reached their limit
At checkout:
- A clear error explaining the restriction
- Example: "You can only order 2 units of Custom Birthday Cake per order."
Per-Customer Product Limits
You can also restrict how many units a single customer can purchase across multiple orders. See Per-Customer Quantity Limits for details on tracking across orders.
Tips
- Product limits and store-wide order limits work together -- both are enforced
- Review your product limits periodically and adjust based on demand
- Use the Analytics dashboard to see which products hit their limits most often
