# Advance Settings

Some controls are shared across all product types and live under the `Advance` tab of the product form. This page explains how to use them and what to expect.

## Purchase Limiting

Control how many times a single customer can purchase a product.

### Form Fields Summary

| Field | Required | Type | Description | Constraints |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enable purchase limiting | No | Toggle | Turn on to set a per-customer purchase cap. | Off by default |
| Purchase limit | Conditional | Number | Maximum purchases allowed per customer. | Positive integer; required when limiting is enabled |

### Behavior

- When the limit is reached for a customer, purchasing is blocked for that product.
- Limiting applies per customer account for the specific product.
- Use a value of `1` to allow exactly one purchase per customer.

## Purchase Validity (Product Scheduling)

Purchase Validity (also called Product Scheduling) controls when your product is visible and purchasable on the platform.

When a future Start date/time is set, buyers see a countdown timer on the product page. The listing is visible, but purchasing is blocked until the Start time is reached. You can optionally set an End date/time; at End, the product automatically unpublishes and becomes unavailable for new purchases. Existing buyers retain access unless you permanently delete the product from the platform. If you select No End Date & Time, the product remains available indefinitely after Start until you manually unpublish it from your dashboard.

### Form Fields Summary

| Field | Required | Type | Description | Constraints |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enable purchase validity period | No | Toggle | Turn on to restrict purchases to a time window (Product Scheduling). | Off by default |
| Purchase Validity Period | Conditional | Date range | Start and End date/time, with timezone and 12/24-hour selection. | If Start is today, it must be ≥15 minutes from now; future Start shows countdown and blocks purchases until Start |
| No End Date & Time | Optional | Checkbox | Keep purchasing open after the Start time indefinitely. | Available when validity is enabled; remains available until you manually unpublish |

### Behavior

- Product Scheduling determines visibility and availability for purchase.
- If Start is in the future, a countdown timer appears to buyers; the product is visible but purchases are blocked until Start.
- Customers can only purchase during the configured validity window.
- If End is set, the product automatically unpublishes at End and becomes unavailable to new buyers.
- Existing buyers retain access after unpublishing unless you permanently delete the product. For details on deletion timing, cancellation, and customer notifications, see [Deleting a Product](/order-management/deleting-a-product).
- If No End Date & Time is selected, the product remains available indefinitely after Start until you manually unpublish it.
