Here is the easiest way to add a maximum &amp; minimum order quantity limit rule in Shopify using a dedicated app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is the Order Limit on Shopify?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An order limit on Shopify is a rule that controls the minimum or maximum amount of a product a customer can buy in a single purchase cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By default, Shopify provides a native Add-to-cart limit feature that allows you to set a maximum quantity for items to be added to the cart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is its navigation <strong>Settings &gt; Checkout &gt; Advanced preferences<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shopify often provides a recommended limit based on your sales history (typically defaulting to 50 units for newer stores).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"671\" height=\"308\" src=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/shopify-default-add-to-cart-limit.png\" alt=\"Shopify native Add-to-cart limit \" class=\"wp-image-26050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/shopify-default-add-to-cart-limit.png 671w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/shopify-default-add-to-cart-limit-300x138.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 671px) 100vw, 671px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, this setting is applied globally. If you want to set quantity rules at the product and variable level, you will have to opt for the Shopify Plus plan or use a third-party Shopify app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such customization like product-based order limits or <a href=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/set-up-different-shipping-rates-for-different-products-on-shopify\/\">shipping charges per product<\/a> help you save your margin.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Add Maximum &amp; Minimum Order Quantity Limit Rule in Shopify (Using App)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here we will use the MIT Cart &amp; Order Limits app to add a minimum &amp; maximum order quantity. Follow these three simple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Navigate to Quantity per Products<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Install and open the <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.shopify.com\/mit-cart-order-limits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MIT Cart &amp; Order Limits<\/a> in your Shopify admin. Go to <strong>Quantity per Products<\/strong> <strong>&gt; Create a new rule <\/strong>to start setting up the order quantity limit.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"855\" height=\"171\" src=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/create-new-rule-1.png\" alt=\"Click create new rule\" class=\"wp-image-26052\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/create-new-rule-1.png 855w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/create-new-rule-1-300x60.png 300w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/create-new-rule-1-768x154.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Define Product Quantity Limits &amp; Conditions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add a title for the rule and set the required limits, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Minimum quantity in cart &#8211;<\/strong> Enter the minimum product quantity&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maximum quantity in cart &#8211;<\/strong> Enter the maximum product quantity allowed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multiple quantity in cart &#8211;<\/strong> The product quantity should be a multiple of this number<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also add custom error messages that will appear if customers do not meet the quantity requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"636\" src=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/set-limits-1-1024x636.png\" alt=\"Define Product Quantity Limit\" class=\"wp-image-26051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/set-limits-1-1024x636.png 1024w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/set-limits-1-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/set-limits-1-768x477.png 768w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/set-limits-1.png 1039w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then click <strong>Conditions<\/strong> to decide when the rule should apply and configure the logic using AND\/OR conditions if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"983\" height=\"157\" src=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/set-conditions.png\" alt=\"Set Product Quantity Conditions\" class=\"wp-image-26053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/set-conditions.png 983w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/set-conditions-300x48.png 300w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/set-conditions-768x123.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 983px) 100vw, 983px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Save &amp;
