Core Concepts

Reservation Limits and Security

Cart Reserve includes safeguards to prevent abuse and excessive inventory locking.

These limits ensure fair access to inventory during high-demand periods.

Reservation Limits

  • Maximum of 20 renewals per session
  • Session lifetime capped at 24 hours
  • Session timeout configurable between 5 and 60 minutes (default: 10 minutes)
  • Maximum quantity per variant enforced based on available inventory

Plan-Based Limits

Some features are gated by your subscription plan.

Abuse Prevention

Cart Reserve monitors reservation behavior to prevent:

  • Excessive inventory locking by a single session
  • Automated cart abuse (bot detection)
  • Invalid reservation creation patterns

Why Limits Exist

Without limits, a single session could lock large portions of inventory without completing checkout.

These safeguards ensure predictable behavior and protect inventory availability for all customers.
