Limit Settings

The Limit Settings section is the heart of your limit configuration. This is where you define the items that your limit will target, along with setting the criteria like "Minimum", "Maximum", and "Multiple of" that the cart needs to respect for the limit to be valid.

Overview



In the Limit Settings, you can specify:
- Target: Items to be targeted by the limit.
- Measurement: Total Price, Quantity, Quantity of Unique Items, Weight
- Criteria: Minimum, Maximum, Multiple of
- Exclusions: items to exclude from the targeted items.


Force Limit Checkbox





If this box is checked, the limit will be enforced even if the targeted items are not in the cart.

For example if you set a minimum quantity of 2:
If force is checked, the user must add at least 2 of the item to check out even if the user didn't add this specific item.
If force is unchecked, the user will be able to checkout if the item is not in cart but will be forced to have at least 2 if they add 1 to cart.

The variable {{ item }} for the texts that displays the item title won't work for items that are not in the cart. Make sure to adjust your texts accordingly if you force a limit.


Setting Values



Each limit can have multiple "Minimum," "Maximum," and "Multiple of" values based on the "Total Price", "Quantity", "Quantity of unique items" and "Weight". A warning message will be generated for each enabled values that is not respected.

Minimum: The minimum criteria that need to be met.
Maximum: The maximum criteria that can't be exceeded.
Multiple of: Forces the calculated value to be a multiple of the value you enter. For example, if you enter 5, the calculated value will need to be 5, 10, 15, 20, etc... for the limit to be respected.


Exclusions



Except for "Variant" type limits, all other types allow for exclusions. Excluded items won't count toward the total values calculated against your "Minimum," "Maximum," and "Multiple of" values.
