# General settings

> Control enforcement behavior: allow or block purchases, hide payment methods, and order value calculation.

The **Settings** page controls how limits are enforced store-wide. These
settings apply to all limits.

## Rule settings

Choose what happens when a cart doesn't meet your limits:

* **Allows customer to purchase even if limits are not met** — the limit
  message is shown, but checkout stays open. Use this when limits are
  advisory.
* **Blocks customer from purchasing if limits are not met** — checkout is
  blocked until the cart satisfies every active limit.

### Hide payment methods if limits are not met

When enabled, payment methods are hidden at checkout while limits aren't
met — an extra layer of enforcement on top of the checkout validation.

<Tip>
  There's also a **Hide express checkout** toggle on the Limits page that
  hides dynamic checkout buttons (like Buy it now), preventing customers
  from skipping the cart entirely. See
  [Scheduling & status](/order-limits/limits/scheduling#managing-limits).
</Tip>

## Order Value Calculation

Choose whether shipping and taxes count toward value-based limits:

* **Without shipping & taxes** — limits compare against the cart subtotal
* **With shipping & taxes** — limits compare against the order total

This affects order limits and collection limits that use value conditions.

## Cart Message Placement

The app automatically detects where to place limit messages in standard
Shopify themes (Dawn, Debut, Brooklyn, and similar). If messages aren't
appearing correctly in a customized theme, enable **Use advanced selectors
(for complex / custom themes)** — see
[Theme compatibility & selectors](/order-limits/settings/theme-compatibility)
for how to find and set them.

## Customers Email

The second tab on the Settings page manages email notifications to
customers — see
[Customer email notifications](/order-limits/settings/email-notifications).
