Shopify does not provide these order limits by default. Nex Validator lets you set minimum cart values, minimum quantities, and limits for specific products.

Each takes a minimum, a maximum, or both. Full list in Order limits.
How a limit is enforced
When a cart does not meet a rule, checkout is blocked and the customer sees your message. The customer needs to fix the cart before completing the order.
Two layers, and only one is automatic
There are two ways a limit can work.
Checkout blocking works when the rule is active and stops customers from completing an invalid order.
The app can also control the quantity selector on your storefront so customers cannot choose an invalid quantity. This requires the theme app embed and additional product setup; it does not happen automatically when you create a rule.
Storefront · Product page
Controls which quantities customers can select
Needs
- App embed ON
- Product metafield

Extra setup required
Checkout · Shopify checkout
Checks the order before the customer completes checkout
Needs
- The rule to be Enabled
Works immediately
These work separately. Checkout can block an invalid order even when the product-page quantity selector is not locked.
See How enforcement works for more details, or Install and enable the app embed to set up storefront quantity controls.
