Operations

Don't take more orders than you can fulfil.

A bakery that can make 30 cakes a day. A clinic that can see 20 patients. A florist with 15 wedding bouquets in capacity. Set the cap, the storefront stops accepting orders when it's reached — and resumes tomorrow automatically.

What it does

Apply a daily cap at the storefront level (total orders/day) or at the item level (units/day for specific products). Customers see how many slots remain ("3 left for today") if you choose to display it. Once the cap is hit, the item is hidden until the next day.

Who it's for

Made-to-order merchants where capacity is the constraint, not stock. Bakeries, cake studios, florists building bouquets, clinics with appointment slots, beauty salons with chair time, restaurants with kitchen throughput. Anyone whose problem isn't "running out of ingredients" but "running out of hours in the day".

How it works

  1. Set the daily cap on the item (units/day) or storefront-wide (total orders/day).
  2. Optional: show "X left for today" to customers — drives urgency without lying.
  3. When the cap fills, the item or the whole order flow is paused. It resets automatically at midnight (your time zone).

When to use it

Use Daily Limit when overselling means delivering bad work — a rushed cake, a missed appointment slot, a half-attended customer. Use Stock Management instead when you have a real physical inventory count.

Frequently asked questions

Can I set different caps for different days?

Yes — you can configure higher caps on weekends, lower mid-week. Useful for bakeries with weekend rush.

When does the count reset?

At midnight in your configured time zone. The reset is automatic — you don't have to remember to do it.

Can a customer still book pickup tomorrow if today's cap is full?

Yes — the cap is per-day-of-fulfilment, so customers can pick a future date even if today is full.

Does it work with bundles?

Yes — bundles count as 1 order against the storefront-level cap, or you can set per-item caps that count by units.

Can I temporarily pause the cap?

Yes — disable it from the dashboard for the day. Useful when you have unexpected extra capacity.
