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