How does it work?

Current Order Total Restriction

You can configure the restriction based on the minimum and maximum order amount during order placement on your site.

Example:

Previously Purchase Order Total

You can configure the restriction based on previously purchased minimum and maximum order amount during the order placement on your site.

You can configure the quantity restrictions for the following options,

Example:

i) If you want your users to purchase a minimum of five (5) quantities of each product on your site, using Min/Max quantity restriction makes it possible.

ii) If you want your users to purchase only a total of two (2) quantities from a specific category on your site, using Min/Max quantity restriction under category level it is possible.

iii) If you want your users to purchase only a total of two (2) quantities in the current order on your site, using Order Quantity Restriction it is possible.
