Example Use Cases:
Limited Edition Products: For limited edition products, you may want to set a maximum quantity rule to prevent bulk purchasing. For example, you can limit each customer to purchasing only 2 units of a product when the stock drops below 20 units.
Bulk Purchases for High Stock: If you're running a promotion for products with high stock levels, you can set a minimum quantity rule to encourage bulk purchases. For instance, if the stock of a product is greater than 50 units, you can enforce a minimum purchase of 10 units to take advantage of a discount.
