Simple versus Advanced

Both create order limits. The difference is when the limit applies.

Simple Order Limit applies to every matching order. For example, “Minimum 3 items per order” applies to every customer.

Advanced Rules lets you add conditions such as country, customer status, dates, or what is in the cart. This means the limit can apply only in specific situations. Advanced Rules is a Premium feature. See Advanced rules.

If you do not need conditions, start with Simple Order Limit. It is easier to set up and test.

The guided tour

The first time you open the dashboard, a guided tour explains the main areas. You can run it again at any time by clicking Take the tour again in the setup card. This is useful if you need a quick reminder or the dashboard changes after an update.

Setup status is worth watching

Check the app embed status on the dashboard. Checkout blocking can still work without the app embed, but storefront quantity locking and cart-page messages need it enabled.

If you enabled the app embed but the dashboard still shows it as inactive, save your theme and click Refresh status. See Install and enable the app embed for more details.

Frequently asked

How do I re-run the welcome tour?

Use "Take the tour again" on the setup card. It restarts from the beginning and can be run as often as you like.

What is the difference between Simple Order Limit and Advanced Rules?

Simple covers the nine limit types with a value each. Advanced adds conditions — country, customer, dates — so a limit applies only in certain situations. Advanced is Premium.

The rule summary shows a rule I disabled.

The summary counts what exists, not only what is live. Check the status column in the rules list to see which are actually enforcing.
