RuffRuff Order Limits is an app that lets you set order and purchase restrictions on your Shopify store. From the app admin, you can set sales conditions such as limiting purchases to 1 per order, members-only sales, and disabling Cash on Delivery (COD).
The restrictions available in this app and their main use cases are as follows.
Restriction type | What you can do | Use cases |
|---|---|---|
Quantity limits | Limit purchase quantity with a quantity rule, by product/variant, by customer group, or across orders | Lot sales, limiting to 1 per order, one per customer |
Price limits | Limit purchase amount with a price rule, by product/variant, by customer group, or across orders | Minimum purchase amount, limiting high-value orders, a cumulative cap per customer |
Weight limits | Limit purchase weight with a weight rule, by product/variant, or by customer group | Preventing shipments from exceeding a weight limit |
Bundle limits | Restrict purchasing specific product combinations together, with bundle rules or by product and variant | Preventing pre-order items from being bundled with regular items |
Customer limits | Restrict which customers can purchase, with customer rules or by product and variant | Members-only sales, VIP-exclusive products |
Delivery rules | Control which delivery methods are shown based on conditions you set | Restricting delivery methods when weight is exceeded |
Payment rules | Control which payment methods are shown based on conditions you set | Disabling Cash on Delivery (COD) for specific products |
Access rules | Control access to product and collection pages based on conditions | Members-only pages, password-protected products |
You can limit purchase quantity in four ways: "quantity rules," "quantity limits by product," "quantity rules by customer group," and "cumulative quantity rules." With quantity rules, you can set a minimum quantity, maximum quantity, and increment. On some supported themes, you can also control the quantity picker to match your settings.
Quantity rules by customer group let you set a minimum quantity, maximum quantity, increment, or purchase restriction for each group based on customer tags or a customer metafield. This Full plan feature matches customer conditions for logged-in customers and lets you set separate limits for guests.
With cumulative quantity rules, you can limit by the total quantity a customer has purchased across orders rather than per order. Cumulative quantity rules are a Full plan feature.
You can limit the amount customers can purchase in four ways: "price rules," "price limits by product," "price rules by customer group," and "cumulative price rules."
Price rules by customer group let you set a minimum, maximum, or purchase permission for each group based on customer tags or a customer metafield. This requires the Full plan. Customer conditions apply to logged-in customers, and guests can have separate limits.
With cumulative price rules, you can limit by the total amount a customer has purchased across orders rather than per order. Cumulative price rules are a Full plan feature.
You can limit the weight customers can purchase in three ways: "weight rules," "weight limits by product," and "weight rules by customer group." You can also show the product weight or cart weight on your online store.
Weight rules by customer group let you set a minimum weight, maximum weight, or purchase permission for each group based on customer tags or a customer metafield. This requires the Full plan. Customer conditions apply to logged-in customers, and guests can have separate limits.
You can restrict which product combinations can be purchased together in a single order. With bundle rules, you can set the same bundle conditions for a group of items selected by tags or collections. With product-specific bundle limits, you can vary the conditions by product or variant.
You can restrict which customers can purchase based on conditions such as login status, customer tags, and customer metafields. With customer rules, you can set the same conditions for a group of items selected by products, collections, or product tags. With product-specific customer limits, you can vary the conditions by product or variant.
Based on conditions you set — such as product, customer, language, order amount, or weight — you can hide specified delivery methods or show only specified methods. For the customer condition, you can target customers by customer tag or customer metafield value, and you can also set tags and values to exclude.

You can control access to product pages based on conditions such as login status, customer tags, or a password. You can set a custom screen to display or a URL to redirect to, and restrictions on collection pages apply only when you set them.
Note: Access rules do not provide complete content protection. Do not post confidential information.
You can show a custom product message on the product page.
You can set the text color, background color, border color, and display position of the product message.
You can show an alert message when a restriction is violated.
Product messages and alert messages can be translated.
Where the alert message is displayed depends on the Shopify theme you're using.
Quantity limits, price limits, weight limits, bundle limits, and customer limits are evaluated when the cart is updated or at checkout, using Shopify's validation feature.
Cumulative quantity rules and cumulative price rules are evaluated at checkout, using Shopify's validation feature.
Payment rules and delivery rules are evaluated by a Shopify Function at checkout.
Product messages, quantity picker control, and access rules work through a theme app extension on your online store.
For a format where you select specific products, you can specify up to 50 products per rule.
For a format where you select specific collections, you can specify up to 50 collections per rule.
There is no app-specific limit on the number of products within a collection.
There is a limit on the number of rules you can enable at the same time, per Shopify API.
Group | Applies to | Maximum you can enable at once |
|---|---|---|
Validation | Quantity, price, weight, bundle, and customer rules; quantity, price, weight, bundle, and customer limits by product; quantity, price, and weight rules by customer group; cumulative quantity rules; cumulative price rules | 25 |
Payment | Payment rules | 25 |
Delivery | Delivery rules | 25 |
Each limit also includes active rules from other apps that use the corresponding Shopify API.
Quantity limits, price limits, weight limits, bundle limits, and customer limits by product each count as a single rule, regardless of how many products or variants they're set on.
For cumulative quantity rules and cumulative price rules combined, you can have 20 rules tracking at a time and 50 in total, including stopped ones.
