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.
