Configure order limit

When creating an order limit rule in the Samita Order Limit app, the General Configuration section allows you to define how the limit is applied, what metric is being measured (quantity, amount, or weight), and the specific values for the limit.

This guide explains how to configure these three core settings.

1. Configure Limit Rule

1.1. Set what the rule measures (Scope)

This defines what aspect of the order the limit is based on.

You can choose one of the following:

• Quantity The total number of items in the order (based on the condition type above)

• Amount The combined price of the items in the cart (calculated before shipping and discounts)

• Weight (kilograms) The total weight of selected products in the cart. Note: Product weights must be properly defined in your Shopify admin.

Pick the scope that best matches your business rules - such as limiting total weight for shipping restrictions or enforcing a minimum spend for wholesale customers.

1.2. Enter the limit values

Finally, set the numerical values that define the limits. You can enter:

• Minimum value: The minimum required quantity, amount, or weight

• Maximum value: The maximum allowed quantity, amount, or weight

Examples:

• Minimum = 10, Maximum = (blank) → Customers must order at least 10 units, no upper limit.

• Minimum = (blank), Maximum = 5 → Customers cannot order more than 5 units.

• Minimum = 50, Maximum = 200 → Customers must spend at least $50 and no more than $200.

💡 Tip: Be sure to test your rule on the storefront to confirm it behaves as expected. Make sure the app embed is enabled in your theme for the rules to work properly.

2. Choose how the rules apply to products (Condition type)

This setting determines how the app evaluates the limit across products in an order. You can choose one of the following options:

• Apply limit to each product variant The min/max values are applied individually to each selected product variant in the cart. Example: If max = 3, a customer can order up to 3 units of each variant.

• Apply limit to each product The min/max values are applied to each unique product, regardless of variant. Example: If max = 3, the customer can buy up to 3 units total per product, even if they choose multiple variants.

• Apply limit to all products in the order The min/max values are applied to the total of all matching products in the cart combined. Example: If max = 5, the customer can order no more than 5 units in total across all selected products.

Choose the condition that fits how you want the limit to behave across the cart.
