Understand your dashboard
See your setup progress, extension status, usage, and limits in one place.
The Dashboard is the first page you see when you open Avada Order Limits. This article walks through each block from top to bottom.
| Block | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Quick guide | A 4-task setup checklist with a progress bar |
| App extensions status | Whether the app embed, the limit notification block, and checkout rules are On or Off |
| Overview | Two numbers: Impressions and Contacts |
| Limit management | Your limits, with their status, type, and Min / Max |
| Helpdesk | Buttons to chat with us or read the guide |
Follow the Quick guide
The Quick guide sits at the top of the Dashboard so you see it right after you install the app. A line such as 2 of 4 tasks completed and a progress bar show how far you are.
| Task | What to do |
|---|---|
| Activate app | Click Activate app to open the theme editor, then turn on the Avada Order Limit app embed and save. Once the embed is on, this button changes to Deactivate app. |
| Create your first limit | Click Create new limit, choose a limit type, then set the products, quantities, and conditions. |
| Add the block to show inline limit notification | Click Go to settings to open the product page in the theme editor and add the app block. |
| Add checkout rule | Click Go to checkout setting to open Shopify checkout settings, then turn on the app's checkout rule. |
Activate app is a required step. Until the app embed is on, a Required step banner shows in the Quick guide and no limit works on your storefront.
Click the arrow on the card to expand or collapse the task list. The task status updates on its own when you come back to the app tab, so you don't need to reload the page. When all 4 tasks are done, the card collapses. To hide it earlier, click the ⋯ menu on the card, then Dismiss. Click Undo on the confirmation card if you change your mind.
Check your app extensions
The card below the Quick guide shows three rows. Each row has an On (green) or Off (grey) badge.
| Row | What On means | Button |
|---|---|---|
| Theme Store App Embed | The app embed is active on your live theme, so limits run on the storefront | App embed settings opens the theme editor at the app embed |
| Limit notification Block | The notification block is added to your product page, so shoppers see the limit message inline | App block settings opens the product page in the theme editor |
| Checkout rules | The checkout rule is on, so limits also apply at checkout | The arrow opens the app's checkout rules settings |
Read your Overview numbers
The Overview card shows two numbers for your store.
| Number | What it counts |
|---|---|
| Impressions | Times Avada Order Limits blocked an action that broke one of your limits |
| Contacts | Times shoppers clicked the contact button in your limit message |
On the Free plan, Impressions shows your free allowance, for example 12 / 50 free impressions. This allowance does not reset each month. When you are close to the cap, a Keep limit rules active banner shows above the Overview card. When you reach it, all your limit rules become inactive until you upgrade.
If Impressions stays at 0 while you have active limits, check that Theme Store App Embed shows On.
Review your limits
The Limit management card lists your limits with their Name, Status, Type, Min, and Max.
- Click a limit name to open and edit it.
- Click the status button to switch a limit between Active and Inactive.
- If you have no limits yet, click Create Limit.

Tips
- Check the extensions card after every theme change. Switching or updating your theme can turn the app embed or block Off.
- Watch Impressions in the first days. If it stays at 0, the app embed is off or no shopper has hit a limit yet.
- Finish all 4 Quick guide tasks before you promote a limited product. Without the checkout rule, a shopper who goes straight to checkout can skip your limits.
- Look at Contacts now and then. A jump can mean your limit message is unclear or the limit is too strict.
