Limiting how many people can buy a product helps motivate purchases and control your workload. With Podia you can automatically limit the sign-ups for your products! 🤑
In this article, you will learn how to automatically limit sign-ups for products on Podia.
Limiting product sign-ups
Here's how to limit sign-ups for your products:
From your Podia dashboard, click on Products in the sidebar menu.
Click on Edit next to the product you'd like to limit sign-ups for.
Navigate to the Availability tab.
Locate the Limits section.
Click on Edit, next to the Sign-up limit option.
Set the maximum number of sign-ups for this particular product.
Sign-ups through bundles, plans, Zapier integrations and manual enrollments will count towards the total number and can’t be prevented after the limit is hit.
Once you're done, hit Save to save your changes.
You’ve successfully set a limited number of seats for your product. Once the limit is reached, no additional customers will be able to sign up.
How does it impact my customers?
After a product sign-up limit is set, customers will be able to sign up for your product until the limit you set is hit.
If you have chosen to also display product availability on your site pages, customers will also be able to check how many seats are left for products that have limits set up.
Once your sign-up limit is hit, the product will look like it is sold out on your site.
This means any buy buttons will be disabled and customers will also see a "0 left" tag above the product name.
