Why merchants need this

The challenge and how Nex MOQ solves it

The Problem

Without order limits

The PACT Act and state regulations impose strict limits on tobacco and nicotine product shipments. A single violation can result in fines, license revocation, or criminal penalties.

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

With Nex MOQ

Create state-level maximum quantity rules using AND conditions — State = "California" AND Collection = "Vaping". Use OR to group states with identical limits. Nex MOQ checks the shipping address at checkout and blocks orders that exceed the limit for that state.

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

How to set it up

1

Create a rule with type "Maximum quantity per product"

2

Set the maximum to 1 (or state-specific limit)

3

Add a condition: Shipping state equals "California"
