# Purchase Limit On Specific Products

## Keep high-demand items available to more of your customers. With purchase quantity limits, you can set a maximum or minimum order amount for any product, helping you prevent hoarding, stop price-gouging resellers, and manage your stock with confidence.

   ![Screenshot 2026-10-27 at 11.56.19 AM](https://support.cityhive.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-10-27%20at%2011.56.19%20AM.png?width=537&height=383&name=Screenshot%202026-10-27%20at%2011.56.19%20AM.png)

Once a customer reaches the maximum quantity, the product will display “Last item available in stock,” and no more can be added to their cart.

#### [Minimum Purchase Limit on A Product](https://support.cityhive.net/portal/en/kb/articles/purchase-limit-on-specific-products#minimum-purchase-quantity)

Follow the same steps as above, then enter the minimum quantity customers must purchase. ![Screenshot 2026-10-27 at 11.22.13 AM](https://support.cityhive.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-10-27%20at%2011.22.13%20AM.png?width=568&height=39&name=Screenshot%202026-10-27%20at%2011.22.13%20AM.png)

#### When a customer adds the item to their cart, the quantity will automatically be set to the minimum you specified, though they can still increase it if they want more.

#### [Allocated Item - Call for Availability](https://support.cityhive.net/portal/en/kb/articles/purchase-limit-on-specific-products#call-for-availability)

To have customers call to check whether a product is available, **set the maximum purchase quantity to zero**. The product will then display as “Call for Availability,” as shown below.

#### [Views – Purchase Quantity Filters](https://support.cityhive.net/portal/en/kb/articles/purchase-limit-on-specific-products#purchase-quantity-filters)

To quickly find products with purchase limits, you can create a product group and filter by one of three fields:

**Max Purchase Quantity -** To show products that have a maximum purchase limit ![Screenshot 2026-10-27 at 12.01.11 PM](https://support.cityhive.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-10-27%20at%2012.01.11%20PM.png?width=608&height=245&name=Screenshot%202026-10-27%20at%2012.01.11%20PM.png)
