# Create customer limit

Setting a customer limit helps you manage how many products or the total value of orders a specific customer can purchase, identified by customer tags. This feature is perfect for tailoring purchase limits based on different customer groups, such as VIP members or wholesale clients. By using tags, you can ensure that different customer segments adhere to the limits you set, whether it’s by total quantity or total value in a single order.

### 1. Creating a Customer 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 customer must purchase.
* **Maximum quantity**: The maximum number of products a customer is allowed to purchase.
  * If you set **maximum = 0**, it means customers **cannot purchase this product**.
  * If you **leave the maximum field blank**, it means there is **no maximum limit** applied.
