Create product limit

Setting a product limit allows you to manage how many of each product customers can buy. This helps you control inventory, prevent overselling high-demand items, and ensure all customers get a fair chance to purchase your products—especially during sales or promotions.

1. Creating a Product Limit

Start by accessing the Limit Rules section from the left-hand menu. To activate the feature, click the Enable button. Once it’s enabled, click Customize to set up your product limit rules.

1

You can apply limit to either 'All products' or 'Specific products'.

2

If you choose the 'All products' option, click the 'Exclude products' button. This will apply the limit rule to every product in your store, while still allowing you to exclude specific products that should not follow the rule.

3

If you choose option 'Specific products', click the 'Choose products' button to select the products you want to apply the limit to.

2. Customer tags

Select customer tags to apply this rule. If no tag is selected, the rule will automatically apply to all customers.

Select customer tags

You can apply a limit rule to specific customer groups by using customer tags.

• To use this feature, open the Select customer tag dropdown.

• Choose one or multiple tags from the list (for example: uppush, VIP).

• You can also create a new tag by typing it in the Add custom tag field and clicking Add.

• If no tag is selected, the rule will apply to all customers by default.

This feature is useful if you want to create special rules for particular customer segments, such as VIP members or wholesale buyers.

Example: If you select the tag VIP, the rule will only apply to customers with the VIP tag, and other customers will not be affected.

Require customer to login

If this option is enabled, customers who are not logged in will always see the order limit banner. This ensures that your rules are consistently enforced, even for visitors who have not created or signed into an account.

3. Time conditions

You can control when a limit rule becomes active by setting start and end dates.

• Start date: The rule will only apply after the specified start date.

• End date: The rule will only apply before the specified end date.

This feature is useful for time-based campaigns, promotions, or seasonal restrictions.

Change timezone

When you click on Change timezone, you will be redirected to the Settings page of the Uppush Order Limit app. From there, you can select the correct timezone for your store.

This setting ensures that all time-based limit conditions (such as start date and end date) are calculated according to the actual local time of your store.

4. Limit Rules

Set up the different Limit conditions on your own by following the below instructions:

• Limit type Choose how you want the rule to apply:

  • Total quantity: Limit based on the total number of items in the cart.

  • Total value: Limit based on the total cart value (currency).

  • Total weight: Limit based on the total weight of items in the cart.

• Maximum quantity Set the maximum allowed amount for the chosen limit type. Example: maximum 10 items per order.

• Minimum quantity Set the minimum required amount for the chosen limit type. Example: customers must buy at least 2 items.

• Apply to each variant If enabled, the limit rule will be applied separately to each product variant instead of combining all variants of a product.

5. Behavior limit

The behavior limit settings define how and when the rule is enforced for customers.

Show warning banner when

Choose when the warning banner should be displayed to customers. You can select one of the following options:

• The limit is reached The banner will appear as soon as the customer reaches the defined limit.

• Click to the add to cart button The banner will appear immediately when the customer clicks the Add to cart button, even if the limit has not yet been reached. This option is useful if you want customers to be reminded about limits before adding items.

Frequency limit

The frequency limit allows you to control how often a rule is applied within a specific time frame. This ensures customers cannot repeatedly bypass your rule.

Available options:

• No limit frequency: The rule applies every time without restriction.

• Once over all time: The rule applies only once per customer, ever.

• Once per year: The rule resets every year.

• Once per month: The rule resets every month.

• Once per week: The rule resets every week.

• Once per day: The rule resets daily, applying once per customer per day.

• Custom time: Define a custom time range (e.g., every 12 hours, every 3 days).

Show extra message

Enable this option if you want to display an additional message below the main warning banner. This extra line can be customized to provide more details or instructions for customers.

Extra message customization

You can edit and customize the extra message shown below the warning banner. This allows you to provide additional instructions or helpful links for your customers.

To customize:

1. Go to the Translation tab.

2. Scroll down to the Extra message field.

3. Enter your custom text, add links, or format the message as needed.

4. Click Save to apply the changes.
