You can set an upper or lower limit of products your customers can purchase.

• Setting a minimum amount is a strategy when selling wholesale, especially when selling B2B. Increasing the quantity of products a customer must buy can make it more profitable.
• Setting a maximum amount is useful when your selling products that are discounted by a promotion. You can help prevent customers from buying too many products at a discount.

You can change the default for new products as well as change products individually or by import.
