Product Order Limiter

Product Order Limiter is a powerful module that allows you to set order limits per product, controlling how many times a customer can order a specific product. This is particularly useful for limiting trial products, special offers, or promotional items to prevent abuse and ensure fair distribution.

How It Works

The module checks a customer's order history when they attempt to place an order. You can configure each product with a specific order limit (e.g., 1 time, 2 times, etc.) and choose which order statuses to check (any status, only active orders, or only completed orders). If a customer has already reached the limit, they will see a customizable error message preventing the order.

The system automatically tracks all orders and enforces limits in real-time during the checkout process. You can use placeholders like {product} and {limit} in error messages to provide clear feedback to customers. The module includes a beautiful red alert box with icon and title for displaying error messages.
