Purchase Limits on Pricing Options
Adding a purchase limit on a pricing option allows you to limit the amount of times a single person can acquire it. For more details, visit our video tutorial. Common use cases for adding a purchase limit include:
- New Student Special
- 50% off a Class Pack
- A subscription with a free trial
- A subscription with a first period discount (i.e $79 the first month and $99 each month after)
Any time you need to include this on any pass, subscription, or payment plan, you will have the option to tick Purchase Limit and add the amount of times someone can purchase it.
Difference Between Issued Limits and Purchase Limits and Examples
A Purchase Limit in Union is best used when you want to cap the amount of times someone can purchase. A classic example is a new student special. You likely want anyone who purchases this has access to it once.
An Issued Limit in Union allows you to set a limit on how many times a pricing option can be issued in total. A classic example of this could be, you only want to sell 100 discounted tickets.
These pricing limits can be used individually or together! Here's an example of how or why you may use them together!
Let's say you're hosting a retreat where you can only sell a certain amount of room packages and you want each attendee to purchase their own package.
To set the rule that a customer must purchase their own package, you'd set the Purchase Limit, to 1. If you can only sell 10 packages, you'll set that rule by checking the Issued Limit checkbox and adding the number 10.
