RuleOn ShopifyHow
Maximum quantity per product
Quantities		Needs an appFor B2B companies: quantity rules in a B2B catalog (Basic plan and up). For regular shoppers: an app with a cart and checkout validation Function. Guide
Minimum quantity per product
Quantities		Needs an appSame as above: B2B catalogs for companies, an app for everyone else. Should be checked at checkout, not in the cart. Guide
Sell in packs (multiples of 6)
Quantities		Needs an appB2B catalogs have increments. For regular shoppers, an app; a product page block helps the quantity field step by the pack size.
Maximum items in one order
Quantities		Needs an appA cart-level validation from an app. Shopify has no store-wide item cap.
Limit per customer across orders
Quantities		Needs an appNeeds logged-in customers and an app that counts their past orders. A per-order limit resets every order.
Minimum order amount
Order value		Needs an appThe minimum in discount settings only decides who gets a discount, not who can check out. A real minimum needs a checkout validation. Guide
Free shipping over an amount
Order value		Built inSettings > Shipping and delivery: add a free rate with a minimum order price condition. Or a free shipping discount with a minimum purchase.
Hide cash on delivery on large orders
Payments		Needs an appSettings > Payments only turns COD on or off for everyone. Conditions need a payment customization Function from an app, on any plan. Guide
Payment methods by country or customer tag
Payments		Needs an appA payment customization Function from an app. Works on every plan; the old Plus-only Scripts are being replaced by Functions.
Rename or reorder payment methods
Payments		Partly built inYou can name a manual method (like bank transfer) when you add it. Renaming by condition or moving a method to the top needs an app.
Show a shipping rate only above or below an amount
Shipping		Built inIn a shipping zone, add conditions to a rate based on order price or weight.
Hide a shipping rate for some products or customers
Shipping		Needs an appSeparate shipping profiles cover some product cases. Conditions on customers, tags or addresses need a delivery customization Function from an app.
Block PO box addresses
Shipping		Needs an appNeeds a checkout validation that reads the address, from an app.
Only sell to some countries
Shipping		Built inSettings > Markets and Shipping and delivery: buyers can only check out to countries you ship to.
Require a phone number
Checkout fields		Built inSettings > Checkout: make the shipping address phone number required.
Add a field or checkbox before payment
Checkout fields		Shopify Plus onlyCustom blocks on the information, shipping and payment steps need Shopify Plus. On other plans, a cart page field in your theme is the usual workaround.
Ask a question after the order
Checkout fields		Needs an appThe Thank you and Order status pages accept app blocks on every plan. That's where post-purchase surveys go. Guide

Checked November 2026. “Needs an app” means an app built on Shopify Functions or checkout blocks, on any plan unless noted.

How to read this

Built in means you can do it in your Shopify admin today, on the Basic plan. B2B buyers only means the setting exists in B2B catalogs, which apply to customers set up as companies, not to regular shoppers. Needs an app means the logic has to run inside checkout, which Shopify lets apps do with Functions on every plan.

We make OrderCap, which covers the quantity, order value and payment rows above. The rows for shipping rules and PO boxes are things other apps do today; we've listed them so the sheet is useful whatever you install.

OrderCap by Centubo. Sets min, max and pack quantities or a minimum order value, and hides, renames or reorders payment methods like COD. Free during launch.

Questions people ask

Do I need Shopify Plus for checkout rules?

Mostly no. Order limits, payment rules and delivery rules run as Shopify Functions, which apps can use on every plan. Plus is still needed to add your own fields or blocks to the checkout steps before payment.

What's a Shopify Function?

A small piece of logic that runs inside Shopify's own checkout, not on the app's server or in your theme. That's why limits and payment rules built on Functions also apply to Buy it now and express checkouts.

How current is this list?

Checked against Shopify's admin and help center in November 2026. Shopify adds features regularly; if something here says “needs an app” and you find it built in, please tell us at [email protected].
