# Quantity Limits (Per-Shipment and Annual) Many states cap how much wine a consumer can receive via DTC shipping. Limits come in two forms: per-shipment (how many bottles in a single order) and annual (total volume a customer can receive in a ### Per-Shipment Limits Per-shipment limits restrict the quantity of alcohol in a single order. These are typically measured in cases (a case = 12 standard 750ml bottles) or gallons. When a customer's cart exceeds the per-shipment limit for their state, CrushSuite blocks the checkout and displays a message explaining the restriction. ### Annual Limits Annual limits cap the total amount of wine a customer can receive in a calendar year from all DTC shippers. CrushSuite tracks customer purchase history to enforce these limits. If a customer's order would push them over their annual limit, CrushSuite prevents the purchase and explains the restriction. ### How CrushSuite Handles Quantity Limits * Limits are configured per state in your compliance settings (via Vinoshipper sync or manual entry). * CrushSuite calculates quantities based on 750ml equivalents (a 1.5L bottle counts as 2 units). * The compliance engine checks limits in real time as customers add products to their cart and at pre-checkout. * Minimum order quantities are also supported (e.g., requiring at least 1 bottle per order). ### Merchant Configuration You can also set merchant-level minimum and maximum order quantities: * **Minimum order quantity** — The minimum number of 750ml-equivalent bottles required per order (default: 1) * **Maximum order quantity** — The maximum number of bottles per order (optional) These stack with state-level limits — the more restrictive limit applies. > 📸 **Screenshot:** State configuration screen showing quantity limit settings --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
