Activation Rules

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.
