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.

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.
