How to limit preorder quantities before overselling
Without quantity limits, your preorder campaign can sell 500 units of a product you can only fulfill 100 of. Here is how to set smart preorder limits before launch.
Sold out shouldn't mean sale lost
Dash Checkout is your all-in-one checkout toolkit for Shopify. Win back revenue with back-in-stock alerts, keep purchases fair with order limits, and show every shopper the right shipping and payment options with checkout rules.
Trusted by Shopify merchants worldwide
One app, three jobs
Everything your checkout needs in one place
Three sets of tools that work on their own or together — all inside a single Shopify app.
Back-in-Stock Alerts
Shoppers tap "Notify me" on sold-out products, and Dash emails them the moment you restock — so the sale happens later instead of never.
Order Limits
Quantity, price, weight, and per-customer limits that hold up in cart and checkout — with customer memory that works across orders.
Checkout Rules
Hide, rename, or reorder shipping options and payment methods based on cart contents, customer, or destination. No code.
Back-in-Stock Alerts
Turn stockouts into your next round of sales
Every stockout builds a waitlist
Out-of-stock pages usually end the conversation. With back-in-stock alerts, they start one — Dash keeps the list and does the following up for you.Capture demand while you restock
A notify-me form appears on sold-out products automatically. Shoppers leave an email — no account, no friction.
Alerts send themselves
When inventory comes back, Dash emails everyone who asked. Set thresholds, batch sizes, and delays so drops don't oversell.
See the revenue you got back
Follow every request from notified to clicked to converted, and export your subscriber list anytime.
Control what, how much, and how often
Quantity, price, weight, and customer-based limits — with clear, translatable messages shoppers actually understand.Limits that remember your customers
Track lifetime purchases per customer. Cap by quantity or spend — daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or forever.
Enforced where it counts
Rules are validated in real time in cart and at Shopify Checkout. No loopholes, no overselling.
Fair access on big drops
One per customer, VIP early access, wholesale minimums — the rules that keep high-demand launches orderly.
A checkout that adapts to every cart
Every shopper sees shipping and payment options that actually apply to them — nothing confusing, nothing that causes support tickets.Shipping rules
Hide express shipping for oversized carts, put the free option first, or rename methods so they make sense to shoppers.
Payment rules
Hide Cash on Delivery above a certain order value, reorder payment methods by preference, or limit options by country.
Conditions you already think in
Cart subtotal, customer tags, logged-in status, products in cart, countries, and zip codes — combined however you need.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Dash Checkout
What does Dash Checkout include?
One app with three sets of tools: back-in-stock alerts that email shoppers when you restock, order limits for quantity, price, weight, and per-customer caps, and checkout rules to hide, rename, or reorder shipping and payment options.
How do back-in-stock alerts work?
A notify-me form shows on sold-out products. When you update inventory in Shopify, Dash automatically emails everyone who signed up — you can set inventory thresholds, batch sizes, and send delays per campaign.
Does it work with Shopify Checkout?
Yes. Order limits and checkout rules run on Shopify Functions and checkout extensions, so they work natively with Shopify Checkout — no checkout.liquid, no theme hacks.
Can I track customer purchase history?
Absolutely. Customer memory tracks lifetime purchases, so you can set caps like "max 5 units per customer, ever" or "max $500 spend per month."
Does it support multiple languages?
Yes — limit messages support 130+ languages automatically, and back-in-stock emails can be written per locale with their own subject, body, and button text.
Can I try it for free?
Yes. There's a free plan to start with, and every paid plan includes a 3-day free trial. Plans start at $19/month.

Back in stock alerts not sending on Shopify? Webhooks vs polling
Shopify's restock webhook only fires when total inventory crosses zero, so alerts can blast phantom notifications or stay silent after a real restock. Here is the difference between edge-triggered webhooks and level-triggered polling, and how to diagnose a waitlist that never hears back.
Negative stock is breaking Shopify availability: July 2026 change
Since July 2026, negative stock at a non-shippable Shopify location counts against online availability. Shoppers can add to cart, then hit a checkout error. Here is the inventory math and how to fix it.
Shopify checkout validation without Shopify Plus
You can block checkout on any Shopify plan when a cart breaks your rules: quantity caps, minimum order values, and lifetime purchase limits, all enforced through Shopify Functions via public apps. No Plus required.
