Easy Digital Downloads EDD Purchase Limit

Easy Digital Downloads EDD Purchase Limit

Easy Digital Downloads EDD Purchase Limit is an add-on for Easy Digital Downloads that allows store owners to restrict the number of purchases a customer can make for specific products. This is useful for managing limited-quantity digital items (e.g., licenses, event tickets, or exclusive downloads).

• Set maximum purchase quantities for individual products (e.g., "Max 2 licenses per customer").

• Apply limits to:

  • All customers (global limit)

  • Logged-in users only (prevent guest abuse)

  • Specific user roles (e.g., wholesalers vs. retail buyers)

• Limit purchases within:

  • 24 hours (prevent bulk buying)

  • A custom date range (e.g., "Max 1 purchase per week")

• Show friendly alerts when limits are exceeded (e.g., "You’ve reached the maximum allowed downloads").

• Blocks checkout if limits are violated.

• Works with EDD’s AJAX cart for real-time feedback.

• Allow specific users (e.g., admins) to bypass limits.

• Restricts license key generation or file access if limits are exceeded.

• Compatible with:

  • Software Licensing (limits license activations)

  • Recurring Payments (subscription purchase caps)

• Tracks purchase attempts for auditing.

• Anonymizes user data where required.

✅ Prevent Abuse – Stop customers from hoarding limited licenses/tickets. ✅ Fair Distribution – Ensure all users get equal access to exclusive content. ✅ Automated Enforcement – No manual monitoring needed.

Best For:
