The gap
When per-order limits are not enough
Per-order limits only see the current cart
Customer purchase limits keep a running count of what each customer has bought, so the limit holds until you decide to reset it.Customers place a second order
A limit that only checks the current cart starts fresh at the next checkout. A customer hits your max of 2, completes the order, and comes back tomorrow for 2 more.
Resellers split their purchases
Patient buyers place small orders over days or weeks to stockpile inventory. Each order passes a per-order check on its own.
Limited drops go to repeat buyers
If you release 500 units with a "max 2 per customer" rule, you expect at least 250 customers to get one. Repeat orders from the same few people can shrink that number fast.
Staff perks stretch past their budget
An employee discount meant to cap out at $500 a month has no ceiling if every new order starts the count again.

Good for
When to choose Limitsify
Limitsify is a good fit for stores that need per-order rules on a small budget
You want to cap how many of each product a customer can add to a single order, and you do not need to know what they bought before.
Limitsify’s plans are $4 and $7 a month. If per-order rules cover everything you need, that is a low monthly cost.
Your catalog is organized by vendor or SKU and you want limits built around those fields. Limitsify lists both as rule options.
You need to cap order weight or set a minimum order value. Each order stands on its own, so a per-order check does the job.
Better for
When to choose DC Order Limits
DC Order Limits is the right choice when a limit needs to count purchases across orders
You release limited inventory and need "max 2 per customer" to mean 2 in total, not 2 per order. A second order gets blocked.
One pair per customer per colorway, enforced across all orders. Reset the count when the next drop goes live.
Staff get $500 a month at their employee discount. Track their total spend across orders and reset it on the first of each month.
Gold members get 5 limited items per year. Customer tags set the allowance and the count resets each year.
Someone buys 2 units every week to resell. A customer purchase limit adds those orders up and stops them at your cap.
Each customer can claim one free sample, ever, no matter how many orders they place afterwards.

Key features
What DC Order Limits adds beyond Limitsify
Per-order rules plus limits that remember each customer’s past purchases
Lifetime purchase tracking
Every order counts toward the limit. A customer who bought 2 last month cannot buy more until you reset their count.
Scheduled resets via Shopify Flow
Turn lifetime limits into daily, weekly, monthly or yearly quotas, and let Shopify Flow handle the resets.
Customer tag targeting
Give different customer groups different limits. VIPs can get a higher allowance while employees get a capped discount.
Quantity and spend caps
Limit by units or by amount spent, like "max 3 per customer" or "max $500 per month," whichever fits the rule.
Checkout rules
Hide, rename or reorder shipping and payment options at checkout based on the cart, the customer or their location.
Back-in-stock alerts
Let shoppers sign up for email or browser push alerts when a sold-out product is restocked.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What does Limitsify do well?
Min&Max Limits by Limitsify is an affordable app for cart and checkout limits. Its App Store listing covers min and max quantities, price, weight, product, variant, collection, vendor and SKU rules, units per day, week or month, and alerts on the cart, checkout and product pages. Plans start at $4/month, which is hard to beat if those rules cover what you need.
What does DC Order Limits add?
DC Order Limits remembers what each customer has already bought. When you set "max 2 per customer," the count carries across every order until you reset it, so a customer who bought 2 last month cannot buy 2 more today. Limitsify’s listing describes cart, product and time-period rules but does not mention tracking an individual customer’s past orders. If that matters to you, it is worth asking their support team to confirm.
Is it hard to switch from Limitsify to DC Order Limits?
No. DC Order Limits installs without theme code edits. Install it, recreate your rules, test them, then uninstall Limitsify. If a developer added custom code to your theme for Limitsify, ask them to remove it once you have switched.
Do I need both apps?
Most stores only need one. DC Order Limits handles min/max quantities, price and weight rules, and product or tag-based limits, plus purchase limits that span orders. It does not target Shopify collections directly, so you would tag the products in a collection instead. If you rely on a specific Limitsify rule, such as vendor or SKU targeting, check that you can set up the same thing before you uninstall.
Does DC Order Limits cost more than Limitsify?
Limitsify lists a $4/month Basic plan and a $7/month Premium plan, with a 10-day free trial. DC Order Limits has a free plan, and you can compare paid plans on our pricing page.
What happens to my existing Limitsify rules?
Rules do not transfer automatically between apps. You will need to recreate your limits in DC Order Limits. How long that takes depends on how many rules you have, and you can test new rules on a few products first.
Can I test DC Order Limits before committing?
Yes. DC Order Limits is free to install, so you can set up rules on test products before you commit, and our pricing page shows what each plan includes. Both apps can run at the same time while you evaluate, though you should apply them to different products to avoid conflicts.
Do customers need to log in for purchase history limits to work?
The app has to know who the customer is to count their past orders. DC Order Limits can require login for specific products while guest checkout stays open for everything else.
