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

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)

<figure><img src="/files/TG8ZxM7LwoUPLLVUL5jF" alt="Enforcement"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

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.
