Adding a Checkout Rule

Learn how to add a Checkout Rule in the Order Limit App to prevent invalid orders and ensure purchase limits are enforced, even if customers bypass earlier warnings.

The Shopify checkout rule acts as the final safeguard against invalid orders. Even if the customer bypasses earlier warnings on the product or cart pages, this rule ensures that no unauthorized purchases can slip through.

If a customer tries to check out with a cart that violates the limits you’ve set—whether by visiting the checkout URL directly or ignoring the earlier notifications—this Checkout Rule will prevent them from completing their purchase. It acts as a reliable barrier, ensuring your order limits are strictly enforced no matter how the customer attempts to proceed.

By setting this up, you protect your store from unexpected bulk purchases, avoid shipping complications, and keep your inventory balanced.

Step 1: Accessing the Checkout rules

First, navigate to your settings by going to Settings > Checkout > Checkout rule. Once there, select the option to Add rule.

Step 2: Selecting the Appropriate Validation

In the dropdown menu, choose Avada Order Limit > avada-order-limit-validation. This option will allow you to set specific rules for order validation during the checkout process.

Step 3: Configuring the Checkout rules

Now, it’s time to set up the rules for checkout:

  • Tick “Allow all customers to complete checkout” Select this option if you want to let all customers complete their purchases, even if they don't follow the rules you've set. This way, everyone can finish their checkout without any issues.

  • Untick “Allow all customers to complete checkout” Deselect this option if you want to make sure customers only complete their purchases if they follow the rules you've set. This ensures that the rules are strictly enforced during the checkout process, as recommended

Once you have configured the rules according to your preferences, click Save to apply the changes.

Step 4: Turn on the checkout rule

After saving your settings, ensure the checkout rule is enabled. To do this, locate the switch or toggle next to the checkout rule you've just configured and turn it on

It is recommended to check the option: "Allow all customers to complete checkout", so in case if our app encounters any error, it will not block any of your checkout process. For sure, from our end, we will ensure that there should be no fails.

After saving, your checkout rule for cart-checkout validation should appear as follows as the customer has an invalid cart.
