FAQs

1. When exactly does the restriction message appear on the product page?

The message appears when a customer clicks the Add to Cart button, and the checkout or cart rule applies to that product.

2. Will the message still appear on the cart page?

Yes. Showing messages on the product page does not replace cart page messages. The same validation message will also appear on the cart page.

2. Does this feature work for both simple and variable products?

Yes. The restriction message appears for both product types, as long as the rule applies and the product can be added to the cart.
