The dashboard

The dashboard shows your app embed status, a summary of active rules, and the two ways to build one: Simple Order Limit and Advanced Rules. A guided tour walks through it and can be re-run any time.

Simple versus Advanced

Both create limits. They differ in when the limit applies.

Simple Order Limit applies always. “Minimum 3 items per order” means every order, every customer.

Advanced Rules adds conditions — country, customer status, dates, what is in the cart — so the same limit can apply only to some orders. It is a Premium feature and has its own builder. See Advanced rules.

Start with Simple. Most stores never need more, and an unconditional limit is far easier to reason about when something looks wrong.

The guided tour

The first visit runs a walkthrough of the dashboard. It is re-runnable at any time from Take the tour again on the setup card — useful when a colleague takes over, or after an update moves something.

Setup status is worth watching

The App embed is not active warning is the most consequential thing on this screen. Checkout blocking still works without the embed, but storefront quantity locking and cart-page messages do not.

If you enabled the embed and it still reads inactive, save the theme and use Refresh status — the check reads your published theme. Detail in install.

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.
