Order Limit for WooCommerce

Introduction

Order Limit for WooCommerce is a WooCommerce extension by Xfinity Soft that sets minimum and maximum order limits in your store. You can limit how many items, or how much money, shoppers can buy of a product, a variation, a category, a vendor’s products or the whole cart. You can limit how many orders each customer places, or how much they spend, per day, week, month or year. And you can limit how many orders your whole store takes.

Shoppers see the limit before they buy: on the product page, in the shop, in the cart and at checkout, in words you choose. An order that breaks a limit is stopped at checkout, with the Cart and Checkout blocks and with the classic cart and checkout.

Store owners use Order Limit to:

Stop one shopper from buying all of a sale item or a product with low stock.
Set a minimum order amount, like $25, or a wholesale minimum of 20 items.
Limit orders per customer, like one order a day.
Take only as many orders as they can make or ship each day.
Restrict orders by payment method, like Cash on delivery up to $200 a day.
Run a limited release: 100 in total, then it is sold out.

This guide is for Order Limit for WooCommerce 6.0 and later. Version 6 keeps everything on one new screen, Order Limit in the WordPress menu. When you update from version 5, your rules, settings, messages and exclusions move across by themselves, and old links to WooCommerce > Settings > Order Limit open the matching new page.
