Global-Level Limits

Global-Level Limits

What are global-level limits?

Global-level limits apply storewide. They affect all products unless you set more specific rules at the product, category, or variation level. This is the best starting point if you want one consistent policy across your entire WooCommerce shop.

How to Configure

  • Navigate to WooCommerce → Min Max Quantities → General
  • Locate the Products Limits section
  • Enter your desired values in the available fields (see Available Options below)
  • Click Save Changes to apply the limits store-wide

The limits will apply immediately to all products without specific overrides.

Global-level limits

Available Options

Minimum Quantity

  • Sets the minimum number of units customers must purchase for each product
  • Leave empty to disable this limit
  • Example: Set to 2 to require at least 2 units of any product

Maximum Quantity

  • Sets the maximum number of units customers can purchase for each product
  • Leave empty to disable this limit
  • Example: Set to 10 to prevent customers from buying more than 10 units

Minimum Total (Pro)

  • Sets the minimum monetary value required per product
  • Leave empty to disable this limit
  • Example: Set to 50 to require at least $50 worth of each product

Maximum Total (Pro)

  • Sets the maximum monetary value allowed per product
  • Leave empty to disable this limit
  • Example: Set to 500 to prevent spending more than $500 on any single product

Quantity Step

  • Forces purchases in specific increments or multiples
  • Leave empty to allow any quantity
  • Example: Set to 6 to allow purchases of 6, 12, 18, etc. (but not 7, 8, or 9)

Rule hierarchy reminder

Global-level limits are the lowest priority. If you also set rules at the product, variation, category, or role level, those rules will take precedence over global settings.

The plugin checks rules in this order (highest to lowest): Role-Based → Product Variation → Product → Category → Global (you are here).

Example:

  • Global limit: Maximum 10 units
  • Product-specific limit: Maximum 3 units
  • Result: The product will have a maximum of 3 units (product-level overrides global)

Next Step: Setting product-level limits

Now that you’ve configured global-level limits, you can override the global settings for specific products following the Product-Level Limits.
