Hi there. I am trying to set a limit on the quantity of a product that a customer can purchase on my Shopify store. Something like "one per customer". I am just trying to limit the maximum order quantity in the event of sales or low stock. Any ideas?

Creating Quantity Limits on Shopify
To limit the quantity of a product that a customer can purchase on your Shopify store, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Shopify admin
-
Go to "Products" on the left-hand panel
- Select the product you want to limit
-
Click on "Inventory" in the product details
-
Set the maximum purchase quantity in the "Stock" field
-
Click "Save"
If your product has variants, apply these changes to each variant. Customers attempting to exceed the limit will receive a notification indicating that the maximum quantity has been reached.

Alternatively, you can:
Modify the Code
Here's a simplified example of how you can modify your theme's code using JavaScript and jQuery.
-
Go to Online Store > Themes > Actions > Edit Code
- Find the file that controls the product page (e.g., product.liquid)
- Add a script to check the quantity input before adding to the cart:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.quantity-input').on('input change', function() {
var maxQuantity = 10;
var quantityInput = $(this);
var quantity = parseInt(quantityInput.val());
if (isNaN(quantity) || quantity < 1) {
quantityInput.val(1);
} else if (quantity > maxQuantity) {
quantityInput.val(maxQuantity);
$('#quantity-message').text('Maximum order quantity exceeded.').show().fadeOut(3000);
}
});
});
</script>
This script targets the input field with the ID quantity and checks its value against the maxQuantity. If the entered quantity exceeds the maximum allowed, it sets the input to the maximum value and displays an alert.
Quick Note: Implementing custom code changes can be risky; it might affect your store's performance or compatibility with future updates. Always make backups and test changes in a safe environment before applying them to your live store.
Use Third-Party Apps
If coding isn't your strong suit, you can opt for third-party apps like Order Limits (MinMaxify) and Advance Order Quantity Limits. These apps enable you to set minimum and maximum order quantities for your online store and usually offer free trial periods.

I'm following your steps but I'm not seeing the "Stock" field. I only see Product, SKU, Committed, Available & On Hand.
