In the world of eCommerce and Company Stores, maintaining balanced inventory is critical. Whether you are running a limited-time redemption program, managing a high-demand swag drop, or simply ensuring operational efficiency, you need precise control over how products move out the door.

Introducing enhanced Maximum Order Quantity controls in Aether. This feature gives administrators the power to strictly limit how many units of a product can be purchased in a single order, ensuring fair distribution and preventing accidental stock depletion.

Granular Control: Global vs. Product Level

We designed this feature to be as flexible as your business needs. You don’t have to manually set limits for every single SKU unless you want to.

• Global Defaults: Set a baseline limit across your entire store to maintain general order discipline.
• Product-Level Overrides: Need stricter rules for a hot item? Product-level settings always take priority over global defaults, giving you targeted control exactly where it’s needed most.

Targeted Limits: Logged-in Users vs. Guests

Not all shoppers are the same. Aether now allows you to set separate limits for logged-in users versus guest shoppers. This is perfect for hybrid stores where you might want to allow registered employees to purchase bulk quantities while restricting public guests to smaller, individual orders.

Full-Funnel Enforcement

Efficiency matters, but security is paramount. These limits aren’t just a suggestion on the product page; they are enforced consistently through the entire shopping experience.

• Product Pages & Cart: Shoppers receive clear validation messaging explaining why an item cannot be added if the limit is reached.
• Checkout & API: The system guards against “workarounds,” ensuring that customers cannot exceed allowed quantities through repeated adds or external integrations.

Built for Efficiency: Mass Updates

For administrators managing large catalogs, speed is key. We have integrated Maximum Order Quantity settings into Aether’s Mass Update tools. You can now apply or adjust limits across thousands of products in a few clicks, rather than editing them one by one.
