# Quick start: your first limit

> Create and test a simple product quantity limit in a few minutes.

This guide walks you through creating a simple **product limit** — for
example, "customers can buy at most 5 of this product" — and testing it on
your storefront.

<Info>
  Before you start, make sure the theme extension and block are active — see
  [Installation & theme setup](/order-limits/installation).
</Info>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a new limit">
    Go to **Limits** in the app's navigation and click **Create Limit**.
    You'll see the limit type picker — choose **Product limit** (labeled
    "Most popular").
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name the limit">
    Give the limit a name, like `Max 5 per customer`. The name is only
    visible to you — customers never see it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose which products it applies to">
    Under **Select products to limit**, choose how to apply it:

    * **All products** — the rule covers your whole catalog
    * **Specific products** — pick individual products or variants
    * **Exclusions** — apply to everything except selected products

    For this example, pick **Specific products** and select one product you
    can easily test with.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the limit conditions">
    Under **Limit conditions**, set:

    * **Minimum number of items the customer must add**: `1`
    * **Maximum number of items the customer can add**: `5`

    The minimum is a required field — `1` means any quantity satisfies
    it, so only the maximum has an effect here.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save and activate">
    Click **Save**. The limit appears in your Limits list with its status
    toggle — make sure it's **Active**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test it on your storefront">
    Open the product on your storefront and try adding 6 to the cart.

    <Check>
      You should see the limit message on the product page and in the cart,
      and checkout is blocked until the quantity is within the limit.
    </Check>
  </Step>
</Steps>
