How can I let customers choose gifts up to a certain value limit?

Topic summary

Goal: Allow customers to pick multiple gifts from a predefined set, with different prices, while enforcing a total value cap (e.g., £10). If the cumulative value of chosen gifts would exceed the cap, selection should be blocked or limited.

Clarification raised: A participant asked whether the requirement is a per-user limit applied to a specific product type/collection, implying each customer would have an individually assigned cap.

Context: Framed within Shopify Apps/third‑party apps, suggesting an app- or rule-based implementation to track cumulative gift value in the cart and enforce the threshold.

What’s known/unknown: No specific apps, discount rules, or methods have been proposed yet. No mention of existing attempts or constraints (e.g., discount codes vs. cart scripts).

Status: The thread is seeking guidance and confirming requirements. No solution or decision has been reached; discussion remains open.

Hello,

I’d like to offer customers the option to choose from a set of gifts (of different values) up to a set value threshold for the gifts selected - I know that’s confusing.

In effect, I’m giving customers a limit of say £10 which they can spend on any gifts they would like - but stopping them when the value of the gifts they have selected goes over the £10 limit.

Any help or guidance would be really appreciated!

Hi @Daniel_Ward_CC ,

let me know if I understand it correctly.

You want an option to set the limit per user which can be applied on a type of products.

user will have the capping of amount assigned to him/her.
