Guest high-value purchases not allowed

🎯 Overview and Behavior

Completely prohibits high-value product purchases by guest (not logged in) customers. This recipe uses the “Cart subtotal amount” condition, so guest checkout is blocked when the product subtotal exceeds the configured amount before any adjustments.

🚀 Setup Steps

1. Preparation

1. Create new rule → Click “Create New Rule” button
2. Configure basic information
   • Title (example): “Guest high-value payment prohibition”
   • Alert message (example): “Login or membership registration is required to purchase high-value items”

For details, please refer to How to Set Up Order Limits.

2. Condition Settings

Enter the following in the condition settings screen:

• Condition 1
  • Condition type: Cart subtotal amount
  • Operator: greater than or equal to
  • Value: 300 (over $300)
  • Product Scope: All products in cart
• Condition 2
  • Condition type: Login status
  • Operator: equals
  • Value: Not logged in (Guest)

By combining the two conditions with AND logic, the order limits only applies when purchase amount exceeds $300 AND guest status.

The settings will look like this image:

What this means: Because this recipe uses the “Cart subtotal amount” condition, guests cannot complete checkout once the product subtotal alone exceeds the specified amount. If you prefer to evaluate the final order total, set up a separate rule with the “Cart total amount” condition.

3. Save and Activate Rule

1. Save rule → After entering all settings, save the rule
2. Activate → Click “Set active” button to start the limits
