Select a Currency Sign

Error message currency sign can be selected from the options available.

Apply More Than 1 Rule to Each Product

Do we apply multiple maximum purchase rules to EACH product in the cart? If not, we apply the FIRST rule we process which applies to a given product. It is ***Strongly Suggested*** that this option be set to "NO", as otherwise the compounding error messages could be quite confusing for the ecommerce customer.

Test Debugging Mode Turned On

The final option turns on the debugging mode. This mode will print to screen all of the structures used in rule testing and error message creation. Only use during testing.

The killer buttons at the bottom of the options screen

Use these buttons wisely. Great to clear out test rules or repair errant structures. Very powerful, handle with care.
