Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureSet order limits that Shopify checkout enforces. Add a minimum order quantity (MOQ), maximum quantity, minimum order amount or minimum cart value for any product, variant, collection or the whole cart. Apply quantity limits only to some buyers: by customer tag, B2B company, country, ZIP code or login status. Combine AND/OR conditions in one rule. Also block PO boxes and set ZIP code restrictions.
Merchants selling regulated products face a patchwork of rules that Shopify has no built-in way to handle: keeping one product out of one place. ShipEmbargo adds it. Block products, collections or tagged items from chosen states, countries or postal codes — or turn the rule around and allow only the places you can ship to, blocking the rest.
- Block or validate orders with multiple checkout rules.
- Display warnings and messages on product pages, cart pages, and during checkout.
- Import & Export to move rules between stores.
- Control shipping to specific US states, zip codes or countries
