Topic summary

  • Objective: Offer a product for $0 and allow only one unit per customer at checkout.

  • Pricing: You can set the product price to $0 by editing the product in Products and changing its pricing field to 0.

  • Quantity limit: Shopify lacks native controls to restrict per-customer quantity. An app is required; a suggested option is “Purchase Limit” (approx. $3.99/month) to cap purchases at 1 per person.

  • Outcome: The requester confirmed the guidance was helpful. The issue appears resolved with the app-based approach for quantity limits.

Hi @Singgate2024

Did you mean you wanted to set the price for a product to $0, and each customer can only add 1 item when check out? If so, here’s how to do it:

  1. To set a product’s price to $0, go to Products > find the product you want to edit price > Navigate to the pricing section and simply change it to 0.

  2. To limit the quantity order for the product to 1/person, I’m afraid you’ll need to use an app because Shopify doesn’t support this natively. But I find this app allows you to do so with very affordable pricing ($3.99/month): https://apps.shopify.com/purchase-limit

Hope that this helps!
