CartGate

CartGate, officially listed on the Shopify App Store as CartGate: Checkout Rules, is a Shopify app in the Order limits category. Some orders should never happen: an accessory checking out without its base device, two products that can't ship together, or a bundle item bought again on its own. CartGate blocks these carts before checkout. Set rules by product, variant, or collection, and choose to block the cart or warn the customer on the product page. Your rules hold no matter how the customer checks out, including Apple Pay and Shop Pay, so you stop refunding orders that should never have been placed. It averages 5.00 out of 5 across 1 merchant reviews on the Shopify App Store.

CartGate offers a free plan and a single paid plan at $9/month. The free plan includes Block products from being sold, Force a product to be bought alone, Require add-ons to have a main item, and Set a maximum quantity per order. The paid plan unlocks advanced features like additional integrations, automations, and deeper customization.
