Limit The Total Number Of Products Sold Per Pickup Date

Topic summary

  • Goal: Limit total cakes sold per pickup date across all variants to a daily cap (e.g., 50), regardless of order count. Allow large single orders if within the cap; block further purchases once the cap is met. Optional features desired: per-product per-date caps, order cutoff times, and blocked pickup dates.

  • Clarifications: The priority is a quantity-based limit, not a limit on number of orders.

    • If cap=10: 10 cakes in one order → allowed; subsequent orders blocked.
    • 9 cakes first, then 1 cake later → allowed; more than 1 later → blocked.
    • 11 cakes in one order → not allowed.
  • Proposed solutions:

    • Custom development: theme code plus a custom app to track daily counts and remaining capacity, then disable pickup dates or remove Add to Cart/Buy Now when the threshold is reached.
    • Third-party apps suggested: “Order Limits – MinMaxify” and “Limit Sales Per Day” (link provided). Their fit for the exact quantity-per-date requirement is not confirmed.
  • Current status: Additional users asked for outcomes. A developer reiterated the custom-code + custom-app approach. No confirmed solution or app selection yet; discussion remains open.

Hey @chanyitian !

We’re trying to do the same.

Any chance you managed to figure it out?

Thank you!
