Why merchants need this
The challenge and how Nex MOQ solves it
Without order limits
A handful of buyers grab every colorway and size from your drop collection. By the time your newsletter goes out, the collection page shows nothing but "Sold Out" — and your community blames you for it.
With Nex MOQ
Cap the total across the entire collection. No matter how many different products a customer picks, the combined quantity is limited. Checkout blocks any attempt to exceed it — on every payment path.
How to set it up
No code required. Just create a rule and activate it.
Set up basic min/max quantity or amount limits.
Create custom validations with conditions.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about maximum collection quantity
Does the limit count across different products in the collection?
Yes. It caps the total quantity of all products from that collection in the cart, regardless of which items the customer picked.
Can I combine collection limits with product-level limits?
Yes. A collection-wide cap of 5 and a per-product cap of 2 both enforce independently at checkout.
Does this work with automated collections?
Yes. Nex MOQ works with both manual and automated Shopify collections.
