Easy Digital Downloads Purchase Limit Addon is a focused extension for the Easy Digital Downloads platform, the ecommerce system many sellers use to distribute software, ebooks, and other digital products. This addon adds a purchase cap directly to your store. You decide how many times a specific product can be bought, and once that number is reached, the product stops being available for purchase. The same tool can also apply a limit across your whole store, so the total number of orders you accept can be capped just as easily. Nothing about the shopping experience changes for your customers until a limit is actually hit. Since this is an official extension from the Easy Digital Downloads team, it fits naturally into the platform's existing order and download routines. For store owners who sell limited runs, manage a fixed number of licenses, or run short-lived promotions, this removes the need to watch order counts manually or unpublish products once a target is reached.
The per-product option is exactly what it sounds like. You open a product's settings and enter the maximum number of sales you want to allow. That number can be anything, so a store might set one download to sell only five copies while another sells five hundred. Each product keeps its own counter, and the addon checks that counter against the limit before each new order is confirmed. The global limit works at the store level. Once you set it, the total number of sales across all products cannot exceed that number. This is useful when you want to cap how many customers you serve in a given period, regardless of which items they buy. Both settings are managed from the admin side, and you can change them whenever you need. The limits are checked automatically, so you do not have to remember to update anything after a sale goes through.

The date restriction adds another layer. Instead of a pure quantity cap, you can stop purchases once a certain date is reached, or allow them only within a specific window. For example, a product might be available for sale until the end of a month, then automatically become unavailable. The addon supports this as a standalone limit or in combination with quantity limits. You could set a product to sell only one hundred copies before a deadline, and whichever comes first stops the sale. This makes it easy to run timed promotions, seasonal drops, or pre-orders that close on a fixed date. The date checks are evaluated at checkout, so there is no delay between the moment a limit passes and the moment the store stops accepting new orders. You can also set date rules without touching quantity settings at all. Store owners who want precise control over availability tend to find this particularly helpful.
The addon is delivered as a single .zip file, which is the same file you would receive from the official Easy Digital Downloads website. You install it through the standard WordPress plugin upload process, and it appears alongside your other extensions. Once installed, the settings appear in the relevant product and store panels, so the learning curve is minimal for anyone who already uses Easy Digital Downloads. Beyond the three main controls described above, the addon includes additional settings that extend how limits behave in different store scenarios. The official product page lists the full set of options, so you can confirm which extras matter for your setup before you install anything. Setup happens inside the familiar Easy Digital Downloads admin area, and the limits you define apply to new orders immediately.
