# How Shopify amount limits and currency conversion work

> Understand current item amounts, product scope and store-currency thresholds. Configure minimums or ranges and test discounts, markets and customer tags.

Price limits check the current combined amount of applicable merchandise. Set a minimum, a maximum, or an amount range.

## Create a price rule

1. Open **Price rules** from the app home page and create a rule.
2. Fill in at least one amount threshold.
3. Choose all products, specific products or collections.
4. Select **Cart price limit** or **Use different price limits by customer tag**.
5. Choose the timing, select **Active**, and click **Save and activate**.
6. Return to **Price limits** and turn on **Enable price rules**.

## What counts toward the amount?

| Item | Calculation |
| - | - |
| Applicable merchandise | Sum of current cart line amounts |
| Products outside the scope | Excluded |
| Compare-at prices | Excluded |
| Shipping and taxes | Not added as merchandise amounts |
| Discounts | Uses the current line amount available during validation; test your actual discount combinations |

For a coffee collection minimum of 100, coffee worth 80 plus a mug worth 50 still fails if the mug is outside the collection.

> [!NOTE]
>
> A specific-product or collection rule does not require customers to buy from that range when their cart contains no matching items. Equality with a minimum or maximum satisfies that threshold.

## Markets and currencies

Enter thresholds in the shop’s base currency. At checkout in another market currency, thresholds use Shopify’s checkout conversion rate and the checkout currency’s precision.

For example, a base-currency threshold of 100 converts to 120 at a rate of 1.2. This is an example rate, not a fixed rate.

## Customer groups

Add one or more tags and choose matching or non-matching customers. Any one matching tag counts as a match. Guests whose tags are not identified fall into the non-matching group.

Every matching price rule is checked. The first-match priority used by individual quantity rules does not apply to price rules.

Try [a minimum merchandise amount](https://order-limit.xrtotech.com/en/scenarios/minimum-order-value.md) or [separate wholesale and retail thresholds](https://order-limit.xrtotech.com/en/scenarios/customer-pricing.md).

## Use a maximum or a range

For a maximum only, leave the minimum blank. For a range, fill both values with the maximum at least as large as the minimum. Equal boundaries pass. Test below minimum, at minimum, at maximum and above maximum using the [launch checklist](https://order-limit.xrtotech.com/en/getting-started/launch-checklist.md).
