Why merchants need this
The challenge and how Nex MOQ solves it
Without order limits
A stolen credit card places a $3,000 order on a Sunday night. By Monday, the merchandise is shipped and the chargeback is filed. One fraudulent order wipes out a week of profit — and you eat the cost.
With Nex MOQ
Cap the cart total so orders above your risk threshold are blocked automatically. Legitimate large orders go through draft orders or custom invoicing — automated checkout stays protected.
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.
