# How To Set Up Maximum Order Limits

**Coming soon:** Iconic Delivery Slots is becoming part of Kadence Shop Kit. You may see both names used while we update the product, documentation, and customer experience.

If you’re looking to disable date and time slots based on the number of orders placed, or the number of products ordered, you can do so with [WooCommerce Delivery Slots](https://iconicwp.com/products/woocommerce-delivery-slots/).

This would be particularly useful for stores that offer food products in limited quantities and want to manage their stock and deliveries better.

**So, to set maximum order limits, take the following steps:**

First, log in to your WordPress admin area.

Then go to **WooCommerce** > **Delivery Slots** > **General Settings** > **Max Orders Calculation Method**.

On this page you can choose whether to base max order calculations on **Orders** or **Products**.

**Orders**: Dates and time slots will be disabled when X number of *orders are placed* for any given date or time slot.

**Products**: Dates and time slots will be disabled when X number of *products are ordered* for any given date or time slot.

Once you’ve selected your calculation method, you can set your maximum order limits.

Click **Date Settings** and scroll to **Delivery Days**.

Enter a maximum order or product limit into the **Maximum Orders** field for each day of the week. Leave it empty to apply no limit.

You can also set a limit for time slots. Click **Time Settings** and scroll to **Time Slot Configuration**.

For each time slot you want to limit, enter a value into the **Maximum Orders per Time Slot** field.

Once ready, click **Save Changes**.

That’s it! Your store is now ready to disable dates and time slots based on the number of orders placed, or products ordered, on any given day.
