Quantity in Cart
Shopify merchants can apply the limits to product quantity to the customer's shopping cart instead of applying the purchase limits to any specific product or collection.
Step #1
Go to Cart Limit.
Enable the field if it is not enabled.
Step #2
Fill in the Min Limit & Max Limit under the Set limits for quantity in cart section & save.
Suppose you've set the following limits.
2
20
If there is only 1 product in the cart, the purchase will not be completed because Min Limit = 2.
If there are 27 products in the cart, the purchase will not be completed because Max Limit = 20.
This app also provides you with the functionality to display a message to your customers if the min and max purchase criteria are not fulfilled during the checkout procedure.
You can also Set Limit Alert Messages for your customers to notify them about the limits set on your store.
Here, you can customize your limit alert message that will be displayed to your customers whenever they have not fulfilled the minimum and maximum purchase limit criteria.
Cart Preview
This is how the alert notification will be displayed for your customers.
In addition to the existing cart quantity limit, you can now configure minimum and maximum cart quantity rules per market.
This enhancement allows you to apply different quantity limits based on the selected market, giving you greater control over regional purchasing behavior without changing your global cart rules.
How it works
The global cart quantity limit continues to function as usual
When market-specific rules are enabled, the app applies the configured limits for the selected market
Each market can have its own minimum and maximum quantity settings
How to configure
Navigate to Quantity in Cart Settings
Click on the Switch Market button
Select a Market
Define the Minimum and Maximum cart quantity
Save the settings
Future Cart Quantity Limit
Now you can also add the Future Cart Quantity Limit that allows merchants to restrict customers from purchasing more than a specified total quantity of configured products within a defined time period.
Merchants can configure:
Future Limit – Maximum quantity a customer can purchase
Future Limit Duration – Time period for the restriction
Future Limit Alert Message – Custom alert message displayed when the limit is exceeded
Example Configuration
Min Limit: 2
Max Limit: 20
Future Limit: 10
Future Limit Duration: 10 Days
Example Scenario
Customer A purchases:
4 quantities on Day 1
3 quantities on Day 3
3 quantities on Day 5
Result:
The customer has now purchased a total of 10 items within 10 days.
If the customer tries to purchase additional quantities before the 10-day duration expires, the app will restrict the purchase and display the configured future limit alert message.
Frontend Alert Example
“You can only order up to 10 items within the allowed time period.”
Merchants can fully customize the alert message according to their store requirements by using the Future Limit Alert Message setting.
