Regional shipping limits

Comply with import regulations — Some countries have import quantity caps. Limit how many items can ship to a specific country — for example, max 3 items per order to Canada due to customs regulations.

Why merchants need this

The challenge and how Nex MOQ solves it

The Problem

Without order limits

Customs in certain countries seize shipments above a quantity threshold. If a customer orders 10 items to Canada but the import limit is 3, the package gets held at the border — costing you a refund and a customer.

This costs you revenue, customers, or compliance — every unprotected order is a risk
The Solution

With Nex MOQ

Nex MOQ lets you add country conditions with AND/OR logic. Use OR to group regions — Country = Canada OR Country = Mexico — with a shared limit. Or use AND to combine Country = Alaska AND Product tag = "fragile" for granular control. The checkout blocks orders that exceed the limit.

Set the rule once — Nex MOQ enforces it at checkout automatically
Takes under 2 minutes
