# How to Set a Minimum Purchase for a Product When It’s the Only Item in the Cart

In this scenario, you'll use the powerful **"Activation Rules"** feature and create two limitations. Additionally, you'll need to assign a unique **Product Type** to the product with the minimum requirement.

### Steps to Configure:

#### Step 1: Set a Product Type for the Target Product

1. Navigate to the product in your Shopify admin.
2. Assign a unique **Product Type** to the product. For example, if the product is "Stickers," set the Product Type to **"Stickers"**. This will help us distinguish it when creating limitations.

#### Step 2: Create the First Limitation (Limit 1)

1. Go to the **Limitations** section in the MinCart app.
2. Create a new limitation and configure it as follows:
* **Limit Type:** Product Type
* **Limit Name:** Assign a unique name to help identify this limitation's purpose (e.g., "Stickers Minimum Rule"). 
* **Activation Dates:** Leave as is to start immediately.
* **Active:** Leave Checked. 
* **Audience Type:** Everyone.
* **Tag Exclusions:** Leave blank.

* **Items to Target:** Select the Product Type **"Stickers."** Remember to **enter a comma** after you write the product type and it must match with case sensitivity.

* **Resource Type:** Product 
* **Maximum Number of Resources in Product Type:** Set to `1`.

3. Click **Save**.

### Step 3: Create the Second Limitation (Limit 2)
1. Navigate to the **Limitations** section in the MinCart app.
2. Click **Create Limit** and configure the settings as follows:
* **Limit Type:** Whole Cart 
* **Limit Name:** Assign a unique name to help identify this limitation's purpose (e.g., "Minimum Cart Value for Stickers").
* **Activation Dates:** Leave as is, so the limit starts today. 
* **Active:** Leave checked.
* **Audience Type:** Everyone.
* **Tag Exclusions:** Leave blank.

* **Set Limits:** By Total Price
* Set the **Minimum Cart Price** to the desired amount customers must purchase.
* **Force Limit:** Leave unchecked. 
* **Text for Minimum Not Respected:** Customize this message to inform customers about the cart limitation (e.g., "Your cart must reach $X when purchasing this item alone").
3. Under **Activation Rules:**
