Question 1

Unsupported Dynamic Checkout Buttons

Accepted Answer

Dynamic Checkout Buttons

[ Disable Dynamic Checkout Buttons Video ]

When enabled, Dynamic Checkout Buttons can circumvent the cart limits set by MinCart because they create a separate cart that MinCart is not able to track at the moment. These buttons can appear in various forms, such as:

"Buy it now"
"Buy with Shop Pay"
Other alternative payment methods

These options vary based on the user's preferences and your store's configuration.

| Customers can still complete their purchase using these payment methods; however, they must proceed to the checkout page to use these payment options. Please note that the quick checkout button(s) on the product page will be removed.

Accepted Answer

Checkout Extensions vs. Checkout Validation

| Both options provide valuable functionality, but CHECKOUT VALIDATION is essential for merchants using TAG-BASED LIMITATIONS . | Note that CHECKOUT EXTENSIONS are only available for SHOPIFY PLUS STORES .

MinCart offers two robust options for integrating with your checkout process: Checkout Extensions and Checkout Validation . Each option serves different purposes and comes with specific requirements. Here’s a breakdown of their differences:

Checkout Extensions :

Available only for Shopify Plus merchants.
Integrated into the checkout process through App Blocks .

Checkout Validation :

A highly powerful alternative to Checkout Extensions.
The only method that fully supports limitation settings using tags .

- If you're using tags in your limitations, Checkout Validation is essential for ensuring limits function as expected, as tag-based limits do not work correctly with Checkout Extensions.

* How to Enable

Checkout Validation

| Checkout validation is available for all Shopify plans and MinCart plans.

Checkout Validation is a Shopify feature that MinCart leverages to enforce limits during the checkout step.

Question 3

General Limit Settings

Accepted Answer

The General Settings is where you configure the fundamental options for your limit. This section allows you to define when the limit is active, who it will apply to, and other essential criteria that control how and when the limit is enforced.

6. Target Tags

Limit Name

Purpose:
The Limit Name serves as a unique identifier for each limit rule created by the merchant. It allows merchants to quickly recognize and manage different limits applied across their store. A clear and descriptive Limit Name helps differentiate between multiple rules, making it easier to update or troubleshoot specific limits as needed.

Tips for Naming:

Use descriptive names that reflect the purpose of the limit (e.g., "Winter Sale Max Limit" or "Bulk Purchase Min Qty").
If you're applying limits to specific collections, products, or vendors, include that in the name to provide additional clarity.
Keep names short but meaningful for quick reference within the app's dashboard.

This naming convention can be especially useful when managing many different limits across

Question 4

Limit Settings

Accepted Answer

Items to Target

The Items to Target section is where you define which items your limit will apply to. Limits can be set based on price, quantity, resource, or weight. You’ll also specify criteria such as Minimum, Maximum, and Multiple of, which the cart must meet for the limit to be valid.

Force Limit Checkbox

Enabling the Force Limit checkbox ensures the limit is enforced even if the targeted item is not in the cart.

Example: Minimum Quantity of 2

Force Limit Enabled: Users must add at least 2 of the item to proceed to checkout, even if they did not initially add the item.
Force Limit Disabled: Users can check out without the item, but if they add 1, they will be required to add at least 2 to meet the limit.

Note: The variable {{item}}, which displays the item title in messages, will not work if the item is not already in the cart. Adjust your messages accordingly when using the Force Limit option.

Setting Limit Values

Each limit can include multiple criteria:

Quantity
By Resource
Weight

| Criteria | Description | | ---- | | Minimum | The minimum amount required to meet the limit. | | Maximum | The maximum amount allowed befo

Question 5

Activation Rules

Accepted Answer

Activation Rules:

Activation rules are a powerful feature that lets you create additional conditions to control when a limit is active. The limit will only be active if all the specified conditions are met.

These rules can be combined using "AND" or "OR" logic to provide highly customizable limitations based on various conditions.

If you are using Shopify Plus, you will have access to additional rule types that are derived from the checkout extensions.

Overview

Each rule has three key parts:

Type: Defines the kind of rule

| STANDARD SHOPIFY PLANS | SHOPIFY PLUS ONLY | | ---- | | Limit | Market | | Date | Shipping Country Co, City, Province Code, Zip, Address, Address2, Company, Type, Method Title, Cost, Cost After Discount, | | Customer Tag | Payment Type, Gift Card Amount | | Currency | Discount Code | | Plus includes both standard limitations and exclusive Plus limitations.

Condition: Sets the criteria that must be met.

| Condition | | ---- | | Select Limit | | Is Equal To | | Is Not Equal To | | Contains | | Does Not Contain | | Starts With | | Is Greater Than | | Is Less Than |

Question 6

Limit Types

Accepted Answer

The Limit Types feature in the MinCart App offers multiple ways to set up quantity restrictions in your Shopify site. Understanding each Limit Type is essential for setting up your quantity limits effectively.

Whole Cart

Purpose:
A "Whole Cart" limit applies to the entire shopping cart as a single unit. Instead of checking limits on individual items, all products in the cart are summed together, and the total is compared against the limit settings.

How it Works:
When a customer adds products to their cart, the app calculates the total quantity across all items. If this total exceeds the preset limit, an error message will prompt the customer to reduce/add quantity before proceeding to checkout.

Scenario:

Let’s say your store has a promotion running where customers can only buy a maximum of 10 items in one order. This means if a customer tries to purchase 3 pairs of shoes, 4 T-shirts, and 4 hats (totalling 11 items), they will see a message notifying them that the whole cart exceeds the limit and needs to be adjusted to 10 items or fewer.
