Built for Businesses with Real Capacity Limits
Whether you bake 50 cakes a week or run a 30-seat lunch service, OrderRules keeps your orders in sync with what you can actually deliver.
Bakeries & Cafes
Cap daily orders to match baking capacity
The Problem
With over 250,000 bakeries and cafes on Shopify, competition is fierce — but so is the capacity problem. You can only bake so many custom cakes per day, yet your online store accepts orders 24/7. You end up with 100 orders when you can only fulfill 50 — leading to late deliveries, disappointed customers, and late nights in the kitchen.
The Solution
OrderRules lets you set daily and weekly order caps that match your actual production capacity. When you hit your limit, checkout pauses automatically with a friendly message. Customers know exactly when to order again.
Restaurants & Takeaway
Limit takeout orders by kitchen capacity
The Problem
Over 200,000 restaurants and takeaway businesses use Shopify for online ordering. Your kitchen can handle 30 takeout orders per lunch shift, but during peak hours you get flooded with 60+ online orders. Food quality drops, wait times skyrocket, and dine-in customers suffer.
The Solution
Set capacity limits per shift using OrderRules. Your store automatically stops accepting takeout orders when the kitchen is at capacity — and reopens for the next window.
Made-to-Order & Handmade
Set weekly production limits per product
The Problem
Over 100,000 made-to-order and handmade sellers run on Shopify. Each handmade piece takes hours to create. You can produce 20 ceramic bowls per month, but your store keeps accepting orders beyond what you can make — creating a backlog that takes weeks to clear.
The Solution
Set per-product limits that match your actual production capacity. OrderRules automatically stops accepting orders for that product when you're at capacity, while keeping other products available.
Limited Drops
Release exactly the units you have
The Problem
You're launching 100 limited-edition hoodies, but bots and resellers buy 10+ each in seconds. Real fans miss out, your community is frustrated, and the resale market profits instead of you.
The Solution
Per-customer limits ensure fair access. Limit each customer to 1 or 2 units, combined with total order caps to release exactly what you have. No bots, no hoarding.
Catering & Events
Cap bookings to match what you can serve
The Problem
You can cater 3 events per weekend, but bookings keep coming in. Overbooking means stretched staff, lower quality, and unhappy clients who expected your full attention.
The Solution
Use date-based capacity limits to control how many bookings you accept per day or weekend. Set closures for dates you're already booked, all managed from one dashboard.
Local & Perishable Goods
Only take orders when you have fresh inventory
The Problem
You sell fresh farm boxes, flowers, or local produce — but you can only fulfill from what's harvested this week. Orders beyond your supply mean waste, refunds, and broken trust.
The Solution
Set weekly order caps matched to your actual supply. Close on delivery days. OrderRules ensures you never accept more orders than you can fill with fresh product.
Your business has limits. Your store should too.
Set up OrderRules in under 5 minutes and never oversell again.
