Hi,

We are using Shopify Plus and have enabled the “Add-to-cart limit” feature under Advanced Preferences to protect our inventory visibility.

We would like to access this limit value directly in the Liquid files (e.g., product or cart templates) so that we can enforce or display it on the storefront. However, we do not want to use metafields, as the business users may change this value from the admin, and they are not familiar with managing metafields.

Could you please let us know:

  1. Is there a way to retrieve the current “Add-to-cart limit” value in Liquid?

  2. If not, is there any alternative or native way to expose it to the storefront automatically?
