🛒 Set Minimum or Maximum Order Quantity/Amount Your Customers Can Buy

Create order limit rules to control how much customers can buy — enforcing wholesale minimums or protecting against oversized orders.

The Order Limit feature allows you to enforce specific purchasing rules for your wholesale customers, such as setting a minimum total order amount or a maximum product quantity. This ensures customers meet your B2B purchasing criteria before checking out (e.g., only purchases above $200 are permitted).

🧭 Step-by-step: Create a order limit ruole

Step 1: Enable & Access

  1. Go to Order Management in the app sidebar.

  2. Toggle Order Limits ON.

  3. Click Configuration.

  4. Click Add Rule.


Step 2: General Information

Field
Description

Name

Internal label for this rule

Priority

0 = highest

Status

Enable or disable


Step 3: Choose the Limit Type

Rule Type
Description

Minimum Order Amount

Customers must spend at least this dollar value

Minimum Order Quantity

Customers must buy at least this many items

Maximum Order Amount

Customers cannot spend more than this dollar value

Maximum Order Quantity

Customers cannot buy more than this many items

Enter the threshold value.


Step 4: Customer Scope

Define who this rule applies to:

  • Specific customer emails

  • Customer tags (e.g., wholesale, trial)

  • All customers or logged-in customers only

Optionally exclude specific customers or tags.


Step 5: Product Selection

Choose which products count toward the limit:

  • All products in the store

  • Specific products, collections, or product tags

How It Works

If a customer's cart does not meet the minimum, or exceeds the maximum:

  • A clear notification message appears on the product page or at checkout

  • The customer cannot proceed to checkout until the limit is satisfied


Global Settings

Enforcement Level (Module-Wide Setting)

Enforcement

This is a global setting that applies to the entire Order Limits module — not a per-rule configuration. Choose one scope that all your order limit rules will use:

Level
How it works

Per Variant

Each individual variant is evaluated independently against the threshold

Per Product

Each product's combined quantity (across all its variants) is evaluated against the threshold

All Products (Total Order)

The combined total across all qualifying products in the cart is evaluated against the threshold

Customer Notification

Choose when and how to show limit messages:

Option
When message shows

Product page (below quantity selector)

Customers see the limit before adding to cart

Product page (below "Buy it now" button)

Subtle placement after the primary CTA

Checkout only

Message appears only when they try to check out

Customize the notification message text, design, and styling. Translation support is available for multilingual stores.
