Easy Digital Downloads Purchase Limit

Description

The Purchase Limit addon adds to Easy Digital Downloads a maximum sales quantity field for each download, automatically blocking new purchases when the set limit is reached. Aimed at limited editions, controlled pre-sales, and exclusive digital products, it allows setting global or price variation ceilings directly on the product edit screen, without requiring custom development or checkout adjustments.

Main Features

• Sales limit per download
  Adds a numeric field on the edit screen to define how many copies can be sold.
• Control by price variation
  Allows setting independent limits for each variable price option of the product.
• Automatic checkout blocking
  Removes the purchase button and prevents new orders when the configured ceiling is reached.
• Custom sold-out message
  Displays a configurable notice in place of the button informing that the limit has been reached.
• Integrated sales counter
  Shows in the admin panel how many units remain available within the defined limit.
