Is there any way to limit how many of each product is sold, automatically?

Might peek at the Minimum, Maximum and Unit settings on the Products when adding/editing ...

I haven't installed yet... so you're saying that you can set a maximum amount of a certain product to be sold (i.e. I only have 3 of one item and want it to be removed from the list once 3 of it have been purchased)

Thanks for your help!

You can limit the number of products in several ways ...

If you have 1000 products but want a customer to only buy up to 3 then you use the Maximum ...

If you only have 3 and don't want more than the 3 sold to either 1 person or 3 people ... then you use the Stock settings ...

Tracking Stock will count down the stock as sold ... and either remove the product from the Catalog or Mark it as Sold Out ...

You can also prevent someone from checking out with more than what is in stock ...

Load a test site with a test database with the demo data and test it out ...
