Price Limits by Product lets you configure precise price restrictions by setting up each product and variant individually, one at a time.
It supports flexible controls such as per-variant individual settings and total price limits across variants. Because only one checkout rule is consumed regardless of how many products or variants are configured, it is well suited for stores with a wide variety of price restrictions.
Due to Shopify's specifications, a store can activate up to 25 checkout rules in total across quantity, price, weight, bundle, and customer rules combined. Standard Price Rules consume one checkout rule per rule, which means price rules alone can use up all 25 slots.
With Price Limits by Product, only one checkout rule is consumed no matter how many products or variants are configured. The remaining 24 slots are available for other rule types such as quantity, weight, bundle, and customer rules, enabling a more flexible restriction setup.
For products with multiple variants, you can apply the same limit to all variants at once, or set different limits for each variant individually.
Example: Apparel Product A (variants: Black, White, Red, Blue)
Configuration | Details |
|---|---|
Bulk (shared) | All of Black, White, Red, and Blue: up to $50 each |
Individual | Black and White: up to $50; Red and Blue: up to $20 |
For products with multiple variants, you can set an upper limit on the total price across all variants combined. You can also exclude specific variants from the total calculation.
Example: Apparel Product A (variants: Black, White, Red, Blue) with a combined total maximum of $50, with White excluded from the calculation
Cart contents | Result |
|---|---|
Black: $50 | Allowed |
Black: $60 | Not allowed |
Black: $20 + Red: $30 | Allowed |
Black: $30 + Red: $30 | Not allowed |
Black: $20 + Red: $30 + White: $10 | Allowed (White is excluded from the total) |

(※1) Can be achieved by creating individual rules, but each rule consumes one checkout rule.
(※2) When "All products" or a collection is specified as the eligible items, any newly added products are automatically covered by the rule.
