limit the number of products a user can buy

[6.522]

Hello, is there a plugin that lets you limit the number of products a user can buy? For example one product per user?

maybe AWO?

You mean AwoCoupon?

[pinochico]

yep

[6.522]

yep

hmm how can we achieve that?

[pinochico]

what say support?

[6.522]

did't ask but I'm using it (AwoCoupon) and personally don't see an option to achieve that.. but maybe I'm missing something

You can set Maximum Purchase Quantity in the product settings

yes but user can make another order and buy the product again so this will work only partiary

In that case, you have to manage it using a custom plugin.

[GJC Web Design]

code a plugin triggered by the addtocart to check if the current logged user has already this pid in their history .. if so display an error message

It's not possible to full prevent a use to buy more then 1 using any trick
You create a new account and buy again using this account and voila.
Even checking the IP is not safe, because you can use different mobile phones
Use my solution and add a warning in the product that you do not delivery this product more then 1 time

You create a new account and buy again using this account and voila.

unless u use a "private" shop .. i.e. all registrations are invite or admin approved

well you are both right actually Studio 42 pointed out correctly that creating second account would allow to make another order.. but it's not my case because  - as GJC Web Design wrote - all users on my site must be approved by Admin so creating a plugin according the the GJC Web Design instructions would do its job
unfortunately my coding skills are not very hmm sophisticated what would be the estimated cost of such a plugin?

For the creation of the plugin, it depends on the options you need.
Eg. If the quantity is still 1, then checking all old orders is the only query to write
Do you need to check all products or just some?
Do you need a category as a filter (then you can create a query using a specific category (unpublished)
Basic code for a plugin + package requires 4 hours
Each option is 1/2 to 1 hour.
So minimum 150€ but can be 200€(or more, if you need more options)
