# Create collection limit

Setting a collection limit allows you to control how many products or the total value of products a customer can purchase from a specific collection. This feature is particularly useful for managing stock during promotions, seasonal sales, or high-demand collections. By setting limits on collections, you can ensure that inventory remains available to more customers and avoid bulk purchasing from a single collection.

### 1. Creating a Collection Limit

Access the **Limit Management** menu on the left-hand menu.

### 4. Setting Limit Conditions

There are two types of conditions to target the customer: **Total Product quantity** and **Total product value**

**Product Quantity**

This type will limit the customer's order based on the number of products in the cart:

* **Minimum Quantity**: The minimum number of products a Collection must purchase.
* **Maximum Quantity**: The maximum number of products a customer is allowed to purchase.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you **leave the maximum field blank**, it means there is **no maximum limit** applied.

If you set **maximum = 0**, it means customers **cannot purchase this product**.
{% endhint %}

#### Total product value

This type will limit the customer's order based on the total value of all line items in the cart:

* **Minimum Total Value in Order**: The minimum total value a customer is allowed to purchase in a single order.
* **Maximum Total Value in Order**: The maximum total value a customer is allowed to purchase in a single order.
