Choose collections
Under Choose collections to limit, browse and select one or more collections. You can also exclude specific collections from the rule.Limit conditions
Pick a condition type:- Based on the product quantity from selected collection(s) — set a minimum and/or maximum quantity from the collection
- Based on the total value of items from selected collection(s) — set a minimum and/or maximum total value from the collection
Calculation methods
Two settings control how quantities are counted — this is what makes collection limits flexible, and misreading them is the most common configuration mistake: Quantity calculation method- Apply to each product individually — every product from the collection must meet the min/max on its own
- Apply to total quantity across all products — the combined quantity from all products in the collection must meet the min/max
- Apply to each collection individually — each collection must meet the min/max separately
- Apply to total quantity across all collections — the combined total across all selected collections must meet the min/max

The limit triggers too early (or not when expected)
The limit triggers too early (or not when expected)
Nine times out of ten this is the calculation method. “Each product
individually” makes every single product meet the min/max on its own —
if you wanted customers to mix items toward one shared total, switch to
total across all products. With multiple collections selected,
check the multiple-collection method the same way.

Collection membership comes live from Shopify. Check whether the
product actually belongs to the selected collection — automated
(smart) collections in particular can include products you didn’t
expect. Also check the limit’s collection exclusions.

Whether shipping and taxes count toward value limits is controlled by

General settings. Also note value
comparisons use the cart’s currency — the message variable
{{currency}} shows which one applies.The message shows, but checkout isn't blocked

Open the limit — if an Enable Checkout Rule button appears at the
top, the Yuko Collection Limit checkout validation is missing from
your store. Click it to add the validation in Shopify’s checkout
settings, then verify Settings → Rule settings is set to block.
Refine the rule
Collection limits support the same extras as all limit types: customer tag and country targeting, scheduling, and custom messages with variables like{{minimum_collection_quantity}} and
{{maximum_total_product_value}} — see the full
message variables reference.
