# Create order limit

Setting an order limitation allows you to control the total quantity or total value of items in an order, helping you manage large or bulk purchases. This feature is especially useful if you want to prevent customers from exceeding a certain number of items or spending too much in a single transaction. By setting order limits, you can maintain better control over your stock, shipping logistics, and customer behavior, ensuring a smoother shopping experience.

### 1. Creating an Order Limit
