The maximum number of individual items allowed in a single order. This option exists to prevent excessive resource usage when dealing with very large orders. For example, if an order contains a million items, then any operations on that order (modifying a quantity, adding or removing an item) will require Vendure to loop through all million items to perform price calculations against active promotions and taxes. This can have a significant performance impact for very large values.

Attempting to exceed this limit will cause Vendure to throw a OrderItemsLimitError.

Defines the logic used to calculate the unit price of an OrderItem when adding an item to an Order.

Allows the definition of custom states and transition logic for the order process state machine. Takes an array of objects implementing the CustomOrderProcess interface.

Defines the strategy used to merge a guest Order and an existing Order when signing in.

Defines the strategy used to merge a guest Order and an existing Order when signing in as part of the checkout flow.

Allows a user-defined function to create Order codes. This can be useful when integrating with existing systems. By default, Vendure will generate a 16-character alphanumeric string.

Note: when using a custom function for Order codes, bear in mind the database limit for string types (e.g. 255 chars for a varchar field in MySQL), and also the need for codes to be unique.
