How it sells itself

Your sale is live, then a welcome or influencer code lands on top and your margin quietly disappears. Guardly rejects discount codes when the cart has sale items, checked per variant, using the codes you already have. Mixed carts still get the code on items not on sale. Stop code stacking, limit codes per order, or pause a code family during a sale. Add minimum and maximum quantities, packs and wholesale minimums.

Holdfast sets minimum order quantities, maximums, case-pack multiples and minimum order values, and enforces them on Shopify's servers at the checkout itself. No JavaScript is added to your theme, so there is nothing for a customer to work around, nothing slowing your storefront, and nothing left behind when you uninstall.

Key points
  • Reject discount codes on sale items, checked per variant, with your own message
  • Re-apply the discount to items not on sale so mixed carts still save
  • Stop code stacking, cap codes per order, or pause influencer codes in a sale
  • Set min and max quantities, packs and wholesale minimums by customer tag
  • Minimum, maximum and pack-size quantities per product, variant or collection
  • Minimum and maximum order value for the whole cart
  • Different limits for wholesale customers, by customer tag
  • Import and export hundreds of rules as CSV
