Limit Per Student = Unlimited, Toggle Activated;
Limit Quantity = 250
Limit Per Student toggle is activated to allow “unlimited” purchases per student.
Scenario: Event item is set up with ticket option and choices, same as previous example,
BUT, there is a Quantity Limit of 250 (number of seats in the venue).
- Parent can purchase unlimited tickets under one of the two children
- Or purchase unlimited tickets under each child
- Parent will not be able to purchase any tickets if all 250 are purchased

What is the Best Practice Setup?
- Limit Per Student toggle is activated allowing “Unlimited” ticket purchases per student
- The Option Minimum and Maximum Choices default is left as is 1:1
When Limit Per Student is changed allowing for multiple purchases, and Minimum & Maximum Choices default remains unchanged, it is helpful to include How to Purchase instructions in the item or option description, i.e.,
“Please make your first ticket selection and quantity, add to cart. Make a second ticket selection and quantity, add to cart. Repeat until all ticket and quantity selections are made”.
- Limit Quantity default is changed to 250
Note: The calculation of sold tickets will work correctly with the previous Limit Per Student setup, combined with the Minimum/Maximum default of 1:1. Purchases will deduct from the set maximum Limit Quantity of 250.
The purchase will continue until all 250 tickets are purchased. If there are only a few tickets remaining, the purchaser will be able to purchase until the last of the 250 tickets is selected. At that time, the purchaser will receive a message indicating the maximum quantity has been reached. The item will display to parents on SchoolCash Online as sold out.
