For Shopify stores

Minimum order rules that hold at checkout.

Caliper enforces your minimum order value and quantity limits inside Shopify's own checkout. And when an order gets through anyway — from point of sale, a draft order or another app — it emails you right away.

Free plan with one rule. No theme code to edit.

What it does

Set the limit once. Shopify's checkout enforces it.

Caliper adds a checkout rule to your store, so a cart that breaks your limits cannot be paid for. The shopper sees your own message, with the numbers filled in.

Minimums and maximums

  • Minimum and maximum order value
  • Minimum order quantity per product, variant or collection
  • Packs and multiples, maximum quantity per order
  • Scope by customer tag, country or B2B

Enforced in checkout

Rules run inside Shopify's checkout, not in your theme, so a shopper cannot skip them by editing the cart. Optional warnings on product and cart pages tell shoppers about a limit before they reach checkout.

An email when one gets through

Some orders never pass through checkout. Caliper re-checks every new order against the rules that were live when it was placed, and emails you about the ones that broke a rule, so you can deal with it before it ships.

See the verdict before you publish

Test a rule against a cart, then switch it on.

The rule editor checks your rule against a test cart with the same evaluator that runs in checkout, so the preview shows what checkout will do with that cart — including the exact message your shopper will read.

Caliper's rule editor: a cart value limit of 1500 to 5000 USD, with a preview showing a 24.95 USD cart blocked at checkout
Caliper's Order alerts page: email alerts switched on, and a draft order flagged for breaking the cart value rule

The orders checkout never sees

No checkout rule can reach these. Caliper still tells you.

Shopify runs checkout rules when a shopper checks out. Orders created any other way skip them — for every app, not just this one:

  • Point of Sale sales at your counter
  • Draft orders — staff can click “Ignore and create order”
  • Subscription renewals charged automatically
  • Other apps and the API creating orders directly

Pricing

Priced by active rules. Never by orders.

A cap on orders would have to stop enforcing on a busy day. Caliper's plans only limit how many rules you can have switched on.

Monitor

Free

1 active rule. Order alerts included.

Enforce

$4.99 / month

10 active rules.

Enforce Pro

$12.99 / month

50 active rules.

Every plan includes checkout enforcement and order alerts. Moving to a smaller plan never switches off rules that are already live.
