Restrictions

Restrictions can be used to stop users from purchasing items that you do not want them to purchase. This is similar to when a user has an allergy, however, this can be used to restrict the sale of items for other reasons. For example, if you have a user whose parents no longer wish them to buy cakes, you can create and apply a ‘No cakes’ restriction to the user. The system will then not allow that user to purchase any products that have also had this restriction applied.
