### Step-by-Step Instructions

#### Step 1: Create a new order limit rule

1. From your Shopify admin, open the Samita Order Limit app.
2. On the dashboard, click the **Create new order limit rule** button.
3. In the **Title** field, give your rule a clear name (e.g., “Max 5 items per customer” or “Wholesale minimum order $100”).

#### Step 2: Decide how the order limit will be applied on your cart page

1. Choose the Rule Type
   * Quantity: Limit the number of items per order
   * Order Amount: Limit based on total price (before discount/shipping)
   * Weight: Limit based on total weight of the order
2. Set the Minimum and/or Maximum Value\
   Enter the limit value depending on your rule type (e.g., minimum 3 items, maximum $200). You can leave one blank if you only want to set a minimum or maximum.
3. Choose whether applying to each variant/each product/all products in the cart page.

#### Step 3: Set the  target scope

Use these settings to control where and to whom the rule applies:

* Limit orders based on Customers condition
* Apply the limit order rule to Product(s)

#### Step 4: Adjust error message

This message will display when a customer tries to place an order that doesn’t meet the rule.

Example:

* “You must order at least $50 to check out.”
* “You can only purchase up to 10 units of this product.”

1. Scroll to Message tab to change the error message content
2. Scroll to Customize tab to adjust the error message styling
