Migrating a purchase quantity limit script
Not a discount at all, and full of the exact syntax a BOGO uses, so a careless reader turns a purchase limit into a giveaway. The reliable tell is that it deletes cart lines and never changes a price.
Different Shopify APIIt split the excess units off a line and deleted them from the cart.
Paste it into Scripts rescue and watch what it rebuilds
- Copy the Ruby with the button beside any Script on this page.
- In your Shopify admin, open Stackable, then Tools, then Scripts rescue.
- Paste it there, read what the tool says it will build, and compare that with the settings on this page.
Scripts rescue is on the Pro plan. Nothing is published until you tell it what your old Script charged and the two figures match to the cent.

Output.cart = Input.cartThis needs a different kind of Shopify app
Your Script blocked or limited checkout, such as a purchase limit or an age check. Shopify builds that with the Cart and Checkout Validation API, which Stackable does not ship.
This part of a Script is not a discount. Shopify builds it with a different function type, named above, which Stackable does not ship.

There is no cart to test here, because nothing is built. Pasting this produces the message above and no campaign at all.
Two files that look the same
Each pair below is one Script shape written two ways. They differ by a line or two and they do different things, so read both before deciding which one you have.

Common questions
- Will Stackable rebuild this script?
- No, and the reason is stated rather than hidden: Your Script blocked or limited checkout, such as a purchase limit or an age check. Shopify builds that with the Cart and Checkout Validation API, which Stackable does not ship.
