<h1 style="text-align: center">Add Checkout Restrictions </h1>
Cart and Order Restrictions enables you to add checkout restrictions based on conditions you set. You can set restrictions for cart amount, cart quantity, products in the cart, the quantity of the products from a specific category, previous order history, and more. You can configure these restrictions and apply them to selected customers and user roles for a specified period.
<h2>Use Cases</h2>
Below are some major use cases of this extension. Feel free to contact us to discuss any particular use case.
Wholesale buying 
You can restrict product purchases for B2B wholesale users to a specific quantity and amount. For example, if you have offered discounted prices to B2B user roles, you can limit the minimum product, cart quantity, or amount they need for checkout.
Limited stock items 
Customers may buy limited stock items in bulk to resell, causing them to quickly sell out. Ensure all your customers have a chance to buy trending and best-selling limited products from your store. Limit the purchase quantity of limited stock items.
Custom items 
When selling custom-made goods or other VIP goods that have limited monthly or weekly stock, you can put a restriction on how many a customer can purchase in a week or month. Once the customer has reached the threshold, the extension won’t allow them to order again until the next weekly or monthly period.
Limited quantity purchased from a category 
If you are selling wine bottles, you might want to sell them in multiples of X. You can choose to select a whole category and apply buying limitations in quantity multiples like 6,12,18, etc.
Minimum order amount or quantity: 
Add minimum and maximum limits based on order amount or quantity. You can apply this restriction to all of specific user roles like B2B, wholesale, retailer and more.
Maximum orders per day: 
Do you want to implement limit on maximum orders? Look no further, this Cart and Order Restriction extension enables you to add maximum orders your can accept each day.

<h2>Choose from 6 restriction types</h2>
You can create multiple restriction rules and choose from 6 different restriction types.
Product quantity 
Apply restrictions based on individual product quantity. For example, item A can be purchased within a specific range or based on specific quantities like 1,4,6, or 8.
Category quantity 
You can choose to apply restrictions to an entire category or multiple categories. The extension will calculate the aggregate quantity of all products in a cart to apply restrictions. 
For example: if you are selling products in multiples of X, you can choose to put the restriction on the entire category and allow customers to checkout only when the aggregate quantity of all products is a multiple of X. You can also set quantity restriction in a minimum or maximum or add comma-separated custom quantities.
Cart total amount 
Instead of adding limitations on individual products or categories, you can set restrictions based on the total cart amount. You can set restrictions based on cart totals or subtotals.
Total cart quantity 
Along with the amount, you can also apply restrictions on total cart quantities. Disallow purchases when the cart quantity is out of the pre-defined range.
Shipping methods 
You can choose to hide shipping methods based on users, user roles, and cart amounts. You can also set shipping limitations for each shipping method (flat, local, and more).
Payment methods 
Just like the shipping methods, you can manage the visibility of payment methods based on users, user roles, and cart amounts.

Steps based

Comma-separated 
If you want to keep the quantities more specific, you can add custom comma-separated values like 1, 3, 4, 7, 9, 10.

Specific customers and user roles 
You can apply restrictions to selected customers or user roles like B2B, wholesalers, customers, and more.
Reset duration 
The duration reset option enables you to expand the range of a purchase window. For example, you can add seven days to allow users to purchase more of a restricted product.
Rule duration 
You can add rule start and end dates. After the end date, the rule will not apply to purchases.

Cart and Order Restrictions

Add checkout restrictions based on user roles, cart quantity, amount, product and category in the cart, with Cart and Order Restrictions.

Let your customers book reservations, appointments or rentals on their own — no phone calls required. Save yourself time and fill up your calendar by letting your site do the work for you.
<h2>Let customers book classes, schedule appointments, or reserve items</h2>
<a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Screen-Shot-2021-07-16-at-09.40.07.png"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-8331041 size-medium" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Screen-Shot-2021-07-16-at-09.40.07.png?w=620" alt="" width="620" height="285" /></a>
Whatever options you want to offer to your customers, Bookings makes it possible:
<ul>
<li>Define set options, like fixed time slots for a class, appointment or guided tour</li>
<li>Let customers choose the times that work best by giving them the flexibility to book whatever range they need, like checking into a hotel</li>
</ul>
With either option, you can also block time off as un-bookable, leaving you time to take care of your other priorities and create buffers between bookings, to make sure the schedule works for you.
Get as specific as you want with your time slots—the extension allows for bookings in days, hours, even minutes.
<h2>Book one-on-one appointments or multi-person events</h2>
<img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-395570" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/bookings-multiperson@2x.jpg?w=620" alt="" width="620" height="277" />
You can set the minimum and maximum number of participants: limit a booking to one-at-a-time for appointments or let multiple people reserve a class or tour.
<h2>Offer special pricing for groups, days, or individuals</h2>
<img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-395549" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/bookings-costs@2x.jpg?w=620" alt="" width="620" height="238" />
Offer discounts for groups or people booking multiple slots, show lower prices for early birds, higher prices on weekends, or special prices for kids. Bookings lets you customize pricing any way you want.
<h2>Show availability in the customer’s time zone</h2>
If your services are online or if you’re shipping something to the customer, display your availability in the customer’s time zone so they book the time they really need. Whether bookings come from New York, New Mexico or New Zealand, they’ll be within the hours you set, so no surprise appointments!
It’s perfect for virtual classes, online appointments, or rentals that need to be delivered to the customer.
<h2>Require confirmation, offer free cancellations — it’s all up to you</h2>
<img class="size-medium wp-image-8331037 aligncenter" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Screen-Shot-2021-07-16-at-09.38.54.png?w=620" alt="" width="620" height="323" />
Set up confirmations, allowing you time to review before making the booking official. Automatically send out reminders leading up to a booking to reduce no-shows, and set whether bookings can be cancelled.
<h2>Send reminders and reduce no-shows</h2>
<img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-395523" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/bookings-keepintouch@2x.jpg?w=620" alt="" width="620" height="300" />
Remind clients about their appointments with handy notification emails when a reservation is made, confirmed, and a day before the booking date.
If you’d like to do more, you can send a special reminder right from your site.
<h2>Never get double-booked</h2>
Avoid double bookings by assigning the needed resources to a particular booking. For example, if your 2:00 bride books a fitting and a stylist until 3:30, that stylist won’t appear available for the bride scheduling a fitting at 3:00. You’ll never have to worry about offering the same resource to two customers at the same time.
<h2>Manage your calendar your way — including syncing with Google Calendar</h2>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-7370319 size-medium" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Markup-2021-01-25-at-16.57.34.png?w=620" alt="" width="620" height="267" />
Use the calendar view to see how your day or month is shaping up. Update existing bookings or availability, or filter to view specific services or resources.
Still have customers calling in to make bookings the old-fashioned way? Add them manually from the calendar while you’re on the phone.
Manage bookings on your store, and see it reflected on your Google Calendar in 60 seconds or less.
