Why merchants need this
The challenge and how Nex MOQ solves it
Without order limits
Your 60% off flash sale is supposed to attract 100 new customers. Instead, 5 people buy your entire stock in the first minute. The promotion fails to reach its target audience.
With Nex MOQ
Set a per-product maximum during the sale period. Use AND conditions to combine Collection = "Flash Sale" AND Product tag = "on-sale" for targeted limits. Nex MOQ limits each customer to your chosen quantity (e.g., 3 per product), ensuring more customers get access to the deal.
How to set it up
No code required. Just create a rule and activate it.
Create a rule with type "Maximum quantity per product"
