PURCHASE LIMITS / GUIDE 02

What is Soply Purchase Limits for Shopify?

Learn how Soply Purchase Limits handles Shopify order, collection, product, variant, total sales, access, and combination rules.

2 min read

Soply Purchase Limits lets Shopify merchants define what customers can buy and how much they can buy. You can limit an order or selected items by quantity, value, or weight; cap total sales across orders; control product access; and define purchase combinations. Rules are managed in the app. The Theme App Embed handles storefront messages and interactions, while Checkout Validation checks applicable rules during checkout.

See Choose a limit type for the calculation differences.

How do storefront messages and checkout blocking work together?

The Theme App Embed helps customers see limit messages on the storefront. Checkout Validation checks applicable rules when a customer reaches checkout. An active rule alone does not prove that both are working: check the theme embed, shop-level checkout validation, and the rule's Enable checkout validation setting.

To prevent purchases entirely, use a Product Access Rule. A standard maximum quantity cannot be set to zero as a substitute for a blacklist.

To try the app, complete the first-time setup, then test one passing and one failing cart.
