Limiting how many people can sign up for a product can help create urgency and make it easier to manage availability or workload.
With Podia, you can automatically set signup limits for your products, events, and plans.
In this article, you’ll learn how to limit product signups on Podia.
Limiting sign-ups
Here's how to limit sign-ups for your products, events, and plans:
From your home feed, click on your site name and select Admin from the dropdown menu.
From the admin dashboard, use the sidebar menu and click:
Products, if you want to limit signups for a product (such as an online course, download, coaching session, or bundle).
Events, if you want to limit signups for an event.
Plans, if you want to limit signups for a plan.
Click the Edit icon next to the product/event/plan you'd like to limit signups for.
Navigate to the Availability tab.
Locate the Limits section.
Click Edit, next to the Sign-up limit option.
Set the maximum number of sign-ups for the particular product/event/plan.
Signups made through bundles, plans, Zapier integrations, and manual enrollments will still count toward the total limit. These types of enrollments are not automatically blocked after the limit has been reached.
Once you're done, hit Save to save your changes.
You’ve successfully set a limited number of seats for a particular offer. 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 offer until the limit you set is hit.
If you choose to display remaining seats on your site pages, customers will also be able to see how many spots are left for offers with signup limits enabled.
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.
