Limit The Total Number Of Products Sold Per Pickup Date

[chanyitian]

Hello! I am trying to create an online bakery. The bakery offers multiple cake variants (eg. (1) Matcha, (2) Earl Grey, (3) Tiramisu).

I would like to limit the NUMBER OF CAKES sold per PICKUP DATE - doesn't matter which cake variant so long as (1) + (2) + (3) <= 50. Additional benefit if I can set quantity limits per product per pickup date as well, in addition to total across products. There are many apps that limit the NUMBER OF ORDERS per pickup date, but doesn't limit the number of cakes purchased with each order, so in theory a customer could order many cakes in one order, exceeding my capacity - I also do not want to limit the order size per order either unless the total cap is exceeded. Would also love features that support order cutoff time, block off dates for pickup.

I am wondering if anyone can recommend an app for that? Thank you! 😄

Hi @chanyitian ,

Let me know if we understand it correct. You have three requirements.

1. Limit of order in single checkout, for example user will not able to add cake if he has already cake in it's cart.

2. You want to set Max order cap for an order.

3. Do you want to disable pickup date if number of order is reached to threshold?

Like if you have set cake pickup 10 per day. After getting 10 order you want to disable that day from calendar?

Let me know if I understood it correct.

Hello! Thank you for following up.

I would like to limit the number of cakes sold per pickup date, and the number of orders do not matter as long as the limit on cakes is not exceeded.

For instance, if the limit is 10 cakes per day: 

Situation A 

- 1st customer orders 10 cakes in one order - [ALLOWED]

- 2nd customer onwards cannot place order

Situation B

- 1st customer orders 9 cakes in one order - [ALLOWED]

- 2nd customer can order 1 cake, but not more than that so that the cap is not exceeded

Situation C

- 1st custome orders 11 cakes in one order - [NOT ALLOWED]

I am wondering if this cap on the quantity sold, rather than cap on the number of unique orders is possible? Thank you again!

Hi chanyitian,

Yes, this is possible with the help of custom APP and custom code in theme.

Let me know if interested.

Hi @oopsiedoughsie ,

We can help achieving this with help of custom code in the theme.

Also am curious if you have figured out a way to do this.

Hi @dctocali ,

Yes, for limiting we will use custom code in the theme.

To checkout the threshold for the day we would need a custom app which will share update the count/user and based on the count code will remove the buy now and add to cart button from the website.

Let me know if have questions and doubts.
