SKU-based quantity restrictions

Limit specific variants by SKU pattern — Target products by variant SKU using AND conditions. When a SKU contains "LIMIT" AND the quantity exceeds 2, block checkout. Perfect for restricting high-demand or controlled variants without affecting the rest of your catalog.

Why merchants need this

The challenge and how Nex MOQ solves it

The Problem

Without order limits

Some product variants need quantity limits but others don't. You can't apply a blanket max to the whole product without restricting the variants that should be freely purchasable.

This costs you revenue, customers, or compliance — every unprotected order is a risk
The Solution

With Nex MOQ

Nex MOQ's SKU condition targets variants by pattern. Set "Variant SKU contains LIMIT" AND "Quantity > 2" to restrict only the flagged variants. Other variants of the same product remain unrestricted.

Set the rule once — Nex MOQ enforces it at checkout automatically
Takes under 2 minutes

How to set it up

No code required. Just create a rule and activate it.

1

Create a rule with type "Maximum quantity per product"

2

Set the maximum to 2

3

Add condition: Variant SKU contains "LIMIT"

4

The rule only fires for matching SKUs — other variants are unaffected
