Set Different Limits per User or per Role

Giving different customers different limits #

Store owners often want one customer to have a higher cap than another, or a whole role such as wholesale to buy more. Maximum Products per User for WooCommerce handles per-role limits natively (free) and per-individual-user limits through the Pro Formula section.

Per role (free, no shortcodes) #

1. Go to WPFactory > Max Products per User (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > Maximum Products per User), open General and enable User roles.
2. Optionally list the roles you want in Enabled user roles.
3. Open the Limits section. Each enabled role now has its own Limit per user field under All Products (and on product/term pages in Pro). A role value of 0 falls back to the main limit.

Per individual user (Pro, Formula) #

1. Open the Formula section and enable Limits by formula.
2. Add one rule per line with user_id, for example:
   [wpfmppu limit="5" user_id="123" product_id="456"] limits product 456 to 5 for user 123.
3. List several IDs with commas, for example user_id="123,124" product_id="456,457".
4. Save and test with those accounts.

Note: use the current [wpfmppu] tag; [alg_wc_mppu] is a deprecated alias as of 4.5.0. There is no CSV import for per-user rules, so for many users keep your rules in an external sheet and paste them into the Formula field.
