Recommended Purchase-Restriction Apps for Japan-Based Stores
RuffRuff Order Limits
"RuffRuff Order Limits" fully supports the Japanese language and is Japan's first Shopify app to use the Cart and Checkout Validation API.
By using the "Cart and Checkout Validation API," we've achieved order-restriction processing on the server side that could previously only be handled on the front end. As a result, compared to existing order-restriction apps, it's possible to achieve more robust order restrictions that are harder to bypass.
With a single app, you can implement quantity limits such as "up to 1 per order" or "3 or more per order," amount limits such as "purchase possible up to a total of 3,000 yen" or "purchase possible starting from a total of 1,000 yen or more," and bundling restrictions such as "cannot be purchased together with other products" or "only products in a specific category can be purchased together."
