Create collection limit

Learn how to create collection limits in the Order Limit App, setting purchase restrictions based on total quantity or order value to manage stock and control sales effectively.

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.

To create a Collection limit, please click the 'Select' button under 'Collection Limit' feature box.

2. General Settings

Give your limit a name under the Limit Name field for easy management. Remember, this name is for internal use only and will not be visible to customers.

3. Selecting Collection to Limit

To select a collection to limit, click the Browse button. From here, you can search for the collection by its name. Tick the desired collection in the pop-up window, and then click Select to apply the limit.

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.

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.
