Set Purchase Quantity Limits for Products

Set Purchase Quantity Limits for Products

You can set quantity limits on your products to specify the minimum or maximum amount of a product that can be purchased per order. You can set a product quantity limit for individual products, or for product variations.

If you set a minimum or maximum quantity limit on a product, then it will display on the product details page and on the checkout page. An error message will display if a customer attempts to order a quantity above or below your limit. If your product is running low on stock and a customer attempts to order more than is in stock, then the item will appear as "out of stock".
