Price limits by product is a feature that lets you set a different minimum price and maximum price for each product or variant. You can also set a total price limit that combines the eligible variants within the same product.
When you enable price limits by product, it uses only one checkout rule overall, regardless of how many products or variants are configured. Price rule uses one checkout rule for each enabled rule.
Prerequisite: Due to Shopify's limit, the checkout rules you can enable across quantity, price, weight, bundle, and customer rules combined are limited to 25 per store.

Limit | Evaluation unit |
|---|---|
Price limits by variant | Price of the same variant |

You can set a common value for the product and override it individually only for the variants that need it. You can also exclude specific variants from the limit or the total price target.

Tip: Price limits by product uses one checkout rule. If you have no other checkout rules enabled, you can use the remaining 24 for other rules.
If you specify "All products," a specific collection, or a specific tag as the eligible products for a price rule, new products that match the condition are automatically included. With price limits by product, new products require individual configuration.
Price rule requires you to select a pricing plan before you can create a rule. With price limits by product, you can enter the settings, but a pricing plan is required when you enable the feature.
Prerequisite: To display product messages on the product page, enable the app embed in your main theme. If you only use the limit at checkout, the app embed is not required.
