# 🛒 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 Rule Configuration

Follow these steps to create a new Order Limit rule in your BSS B2B Solution dashboard:

**1. Enable and Configure the Feature**

1. Navigate to Order management and enable the Order Limits feature.
2. Go to the Configuration section and click Create new rule.

**2. Define General Information**

* Name: Enter a descriptive name for your rule (e.g., "Wholesale Minimum Order").
* Priority: Assign a priority number (where 0 is the highest priority). *Note: If multiple rules with the same priority apply to a customer or product, the most recently created rule will take effect.*
* Status: Choose to Enable or Disable the rule.

**3. Set Order Limit (OL) Criteria**

Select the Rule Type and input the required value:

| Rule Type              | Description                                              |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Minimum Order Amount   | The lowest dollar value allowed for an order.            |
| Minimum Order Quantity | The lowest total quantity of items allowed in an order.  |
| Maximum Order Amount   | The highest dollar value allowed for an order.           |
| Maximum Order Quantity | The highest total quantity of items allowed in an order. |

**4. Define Customer Scope**

Specify which customers the rule applies to:

* Apply to Customers:
  * Select Specific customers by entering their email addresses.
  * Select Customer tags to apply the rule to groups of customers (e.g., customers tagged "b2b").
* Exclude Customers: Choose specific customers or tags to exempt from this rule.

**5. Select Applicable Products**

Specify which products are affected by the limit:

* Apply to Products: Select products, collections, or tags that this rule should monitor.

After defining all settings, click Save.

#### Global Order Limit (OL) Settings

In addition to individual rules, you can customize how the Order Limits feature operates globally under Settings.

**Enforcement Level**

Choose how the minimum/maximum value set in your rule (Step 3) is enforced (Order Limit → Settings → General Settings → Choose level to limit):

* Per Variant: Each specific product variant must reach the configured value.
* Per Product: Each product must reach the configured value.
* All Products (Total Order): The total order value/quantity across all products must reach the configured value.

**Customer Notification Settings**

* Display Notification Message on Product Pages:
  * Yes: A message will display on the product page notifying customers of the limit. You can choose the placement: Below quantity selector or Below "Buy it now" button.
  * No: No message will be displayed until the customer attempts to checkout with an unqualified order.

* Design & Translation: You can customize the look of the pop-up message and translate all associated texts into your local language.

When a customer attempts to check out with an order that violates a rule (e.g., trying to purchase 8 items when the minimum is 10), they will be shown a notification message preventing them from proceeding until the limit is met.
