Define your limits By Price, Quantity, Resource or weight
MinCart enables you to set precise limitations for your Shopify store across various categories, including the Whole Cart, Product, Variant, Collection, Vendor, Product Type, and Tag. These customizable limits allow you to enhance the shopping experience, streamline inventory management, and set up effective flash sales.
In addition to these foundational limits, MinCart also offers advanced options like Total Price, Quantity, Resource, and Weight limits. These features empower you to define highly specific restrictions tailored to your store’s needs.
The "By Total Price" feature in MinCart allows you to set minimum or maximum purchase thresholds based on the total value of items in the cart.
"By Total Price" limits ensure that customers meet specific spending thresholds, helping drive sales and manage purchase quantities effectively. For example, you can require a minimum total cart price for a particular product collection or set a maximum spend limit for items from a specific vendor.
Here are some practical examples to illustrate how to use "By Total Price" limits effectively:
Scenario: You want to encourage customers to spend at least $50 on your "Winter Collection."
- Steps: Set a "By Total Price" minimum limit of $50 on the "Winter Collection."
- Outcome: Customers must add winter collection products worth $50+ to their cart to complete checkout.
Scenario: Limit customer spend to $100 on products from Vendor A to control discounts.
- Steps: Apply a "By Total Price" maximum limit of $100 on Vendor A’s items.
- Outcome: Customers can only add Vendor A products up to $100 in value in their cart.
Scenario: To promote certain tagged items (e.g., "Eco-friendly"), set a $25 minimum total cart price.
- Steps: Select the "Eco-friendly" tag and set a minimum spend of $25.
- Outcome: Customers need to spend at least $25 on tagged eco-friendly products.
The "By Quantity" feature in MinCart lets you set minimum and maximum quantity limits for different resources in your store.
"By Quantity" limits help control the number of items customers can add to their cart. For instance, you can set a minimum purchase quantity for a specific product or a maximum quantity limit for items from a particular vendor.
Here are some use cases to help illustrate how to set up "By Quantity" limits effectively:
Scenario: You want customers to buy a minimum of 10 units of a bulk product.
- Steps: Set a "By Quantity" minimum limit of 10 for the selected product.

- Outcome: Customers must add at least 3 eco-friendly items to their cart.
The "By Weight" feature in MinCart allows you to set minimum or maximum weight limits for items in your customers’ carts. This is useful when you want to manage orders with weight-sensitive products or set specific limits for shipping purposes.
"By Weight" limits let you control the total weight of items in a customer’s cart by setting minimum and/or maximum thresholds. For example, you can ensure that customers meet a minimum weight requirement or stay below a maximum weight for certain items to qualify for shipping.
Below are a few examples to illustrate how you can use "By Weight" limits effectively.
Scenario: You want customers to add a minimum of 5 kg of heavy materials to their cart.

- Steps: Set a "By Weight" minimum limit of 15 kg for the bulk items.
- Outcome: Customers must add at least 15 kg of bulk items to qualify for the discount.
The "By Unique Items" limit has been replaced by the new "By Resource" limit. The "By Resource" limit with the Product resource is equivalent to the old "By Unique Items" limit. This new feature allows you to set a limit on the number of selected resources in the cart. For instance, you can now set a limit on the number of different collections in your cart.
The "By Resource" limit can be applied to the following resources:
- Variant
- Product
- Collection
- Vendor
- Product Type
- Tag
On the Gatekeeper Plan, you can enhance your "By Resource" limits by filtering the resources using complex rules. This allows you to count only the resources that match the specified rules toward the limit.
Here are some practical examples of how to set limits using the "By Resource" feature:
Limit Different Collections in the Cart
- Set a limit on the total number of different collections allowed in the cart.
Limit Collections by Vendor Name

Limit Variants by Name
- Limit the number of variants that contain "Sample" in their title across the cart.
Minimum Variant Selection Requirement
- For a product with three different variants, set a minimum requirement of three variant resources to ensure customers select all three variants.
With the "By Resource" limit, you can also:
- Filter Resources: Specify which resources count toward the limit (e.g., count only collections with "vendor" in their names).
- Count Resource Quantity: For product and variant resources, you can check the option "Count Resource Quantity."
- If checked, the limit will consider the total quantity of the products or variants.
- If not checked, only the number of different products or variants will be counted. This feature is beneficial, especially when combined with filters, to meet your specific counting needs.
