Hello,
We sell prepared meals for weekly delivery, we will be launching a Christmas Menu that will be delivered on a specific date.
As the prepared meals and the Christmas Menu will be created and shipped on different dates, I would like to ensure that orders for the different types of meals are processed in separate orders.
I would like to either:
a. Restrict customers from purchasing the 2 items together so they would have to purchase their standard weekly delivery, and then the Christmas one separately (I have already put all christmas menu items into a collection).
b. Allow the orders to pull through separately in Shopify so we can just pull the correct orders for the week.
I understand this is a very niche query, I was hoping Shopify would have a way of restricting items being purchased together but it doesn’t appear so and i’m struggling with what to search to find the right app.
Any thoughts or ideas are greatly welcomed!
Thanks,
Hi @Victoriataylor1
You can create a metafield at the product level to create differentiation and script code to restrict the add-to-cart CTA.
Allow the orders to pull through separately in Shopify so we can just pull the correct orders for the week.
plz explain a little with example
Hi @Victoriataylor1
Please refer to the below video how we implement this for a store.
Hope this will help…
Hi @Victoriataylor1 , unlock the secrets of restricting specific products or pages on Shopify by watching this detailed video guide:
Hey, @Victoriataylor1. It’s been about 3 years since you posted this, but I don’t feel like you ever got a good answer to your question, so I’m going to give you the answer I feel you deserve. Full disclosure: I’m replying because I built an app that solves this problem, but it solves the problem in EXACTLY the way you wanted in 2023, so I think it’s worth mentioning.
Okay, the app (called CartGate) lets you say “don’t let checkout proceed if these two items are in the same cart.”
If those two items ARE in the same cart, checkout is blocked completely with a nice, helpful message you control. It’s impossible to proceed. There’s no bypassing the block with express checkout the Shop App or API access or anything. Blocked is blocked.
The “don’t let these two products be bought together” rule is on the Pro plan ($9/month, free trial).
In all likelihood, in the years since you posted this question, you found an acceptable solution. But in case you didn’t, or in case some future internet-goers have the same question, I wanted to give your question the real, thoughtful answer it deserved. Again, the app is called CartGate. Hope this helps 
Hi @Victoriataylor1 .
How are you doing today?
Shopify does not built in atool for this, but some apps can help.
You can search for Cart Restriction and Cart Rules apps in the shopify app store.
They let you set a rule like don’t allow Christmas items and weekend items on the same cart.
They should solve it nicely.
Have a nice day!
