See every featureOrder Cap stops overselling for capacity-limited shops. Set a limit on any product or variant. Once it hits zero, checkout is blocked and customers see a sold-out badge. No cancellation emails, no manual inventory work. Choose daily reset at a time and timezone you pick, or lifetime mode you reset yourself. Badges appear on product pages, collection grids, and cart line items when spots run low.
OrderRules – Checkout Limits helps merchants stay in control by letting them set maximum quantity limits on specific products or variants. With flexible rule creation, merchants can prevent overselling, manage inventory more effectively, and enforce per-order purchase limits — all directly at checkout.
