purchase limits
Maximum quantity allowed
Purchase limits are restrictions on how much of a product a customer can buy at one time.
Retailers impose them during shortages, sales events, or emergencies to ensure fair distribution: There's a purchase limit of two per customer on baby formula.
They prevent hoarding and resale at markup prices.
