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

  1. Go to Product Limits from the dashboard
  2. Click Add Product Limit
  3. Select the product you want to limit
  4. Set a minimum quantity (optional) and/or maximum quantity
  5. 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
