The Item Purchase Limit feature allows you to limit how many units of a product a customer can purchase within a selected period.
This is useful when you want to control limited stock items, prevent bulk purchases, or make sure more customers have a chance to buy the same product.
Note: Only logged-in members can purchase items with a purchase limit. Guest customers will be asked to log in before checkout.
For example, you want to limit customers to purchase only 3 units of Emerald Strawberry Cream Body Lotion during your campaign period.
Once the limit is set, each customer can only purchase up to 3 units of that product.
Example:
Product: Emerald Strawberry Cream Body Lotion
Purchase limit: 3 units per customer
Customer already purchased: 1 unit
Remaining quantity customer can buy: 2 units
If the customer tries to add more than the allowed quantity, the system will display a message to inform them that the purchase limit has been reached.
