Limits

There are two different types of limits to know about. Shopify allows up to 25 active validation functions across your store, including validations from other apps. Your Nex Validator plan separately decides which app features you can use.

Applies to
  • Every store, on every plan
Doesn't apply to
  • Disabled rules — they do not count toward Shopify's 25 active validation limit

Two different ceilings

Features available in Nex ValidatorYour Nex Validator planUpgrade only if the feature you need is not included in your current plan

If a rule or feature will not activate, first check which limit you have reached. Reaching Shopify’s 25-validation limit and reaching a plan restriction are different problems.

Getting more headroom

Disable what you are not using. Disable rules you no longer need. Disabled rules do not count toward the active validation limit.

Consolidate. If possible, keep related limits together instead of creating unnecessary separate rules.

Check other apps. Other Shopify apps may also use validation functions. Check whether another app is using part of the store’s validation allowance.

Most stores may never reach this limit. If you do, review your active Nex Validator rules and any other apps that use Shopify validation functions.

Plan limits

Your Nex Validator plan controls which features are available to you. Features that are not included in your current plan may appear as locked. Check the Plans page to see which plan includes the feature you need.

Frequently asked

Does upgrading raise the 25-rule ceiling?

No. That is Shopify's cap, not the app's, and no plan changes it.

Do disabled rules count?

No. The cap counts active validations, so pausing one frees a slot.

Another app is using my allowance.

The cap is per store across all apps, so the only options are deactivating validations elsewhere or consolidating yours.
