One of each plan per cart
Stop customers buying five copies of the same plan — cap each subscription product to quantity one, while different plans can still share the cart.
- Qty 1 per plan
- Different plans still allowed
- Cart-level rule
A membership or seat usually shouldn’t be bought five times in one go. One Subscription Per Product caps each subscription product to quantity one in the cart, while still letting a customer add different subscription plans together. It’s a cart-level rule — it doesn’t look at what the customer already owns. This recipe enables it.
- Each subscription plan can appear only once per cart.
- Different plans can still be purchased together.
- Prevents accidental multi-quantity subscription orders.
- Ignores subscriptions the customer already owns.
