Best practices for handling custom Minimum/Maximum order quantity and MOQ validation at checkout?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working with a few merchants recently who need strict inventory and purchasing controls—specifically things like setting global minimum/maximum quantities, restricting quantities based on specific customer tags (for wholesale segments), and managing weight/price-based cart restrictions.

While native Shopify settings cover basics, handling complex rules like tiered limits per collection, bulk CSV catalog imports, or preventing overbuying on limited stock can get a bit messy depending on how you architect the checkout validation.

How are you usually approaching this for your clients? Are you relying heavily on Shopify Functions/Checkout Extensibility, custom cart scripts, or leveraging existing apps to handle edge cases like time-based and customer-tag limits?

If anyone is looking for a ready-made, lightweight tool that handles global limits, CSV management, and customer-tag-based restrictions out of the box without heavily custom-coding everything from scratch, we actually built an app for this called KOR Order Limits Quantity. It manages rules across products, variants, and collections seamlessly.

Would love to hear how others are solving strict purchase-control requirements for high-volume or wholesale stores!
