Set It and Forget It

OrderRules resets your order counters automatically. You never need to manually clear a count or remember to flip a switch.

When Resets Happen

Daily Reset

  • When: Midnight in your store's timezone
  • What resets: The daily order counter goes back to zero

Weekly Reset

  • When: Midnight at the start of Sunday (Saturday night turning into Sunday). The admin shows this as "Resets weekly on Sunday".
  • What resets: The weekly order counter goes back to zero

Monthly Reset

  • When: Midnight on the 1st of each month
  • What resets: The monthly order counter goes back to zero

An order counts toward the day it's placed: one at 23:59 counts to today, one at 00:01 to the new day.

Your Timezone Matters

All resets are based on the timezone configured in your OrderRules settings. If your timezone is set to America/New_York, midnight means midnight Eastern Time.

To check or change your timezone:

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Find the Timezone section
  3. Pick your timezone under Store Timezone
  4. Click Save

If your timezone is wrong, resets will happen at unexpected times. This is the most common cause of "my counter did not reset" issues.

Edge Cases

Order placed at 11:59 PM: Counts toward the current day's limit.

Order placed at 12:01 AM: Counts toward the new day's limit.

What If a Reset Does Not Happen

If your counter does not reset as expected:

  1. Verify your timezone -- this solves most issues
  2. Refresh the dashboard -- the display may need a manual page reload
  3. Load a storefront page -- checkout reads a saved status, and a storefront visit after midnight refreshes it
  4. Contact support at support@orderrules.com if the issue persists, and include your store URL and which limit did not reset

Manual Resets

There is no manual reset button in the app. If you need an immediate reset (for example, after testing), contact support@orderrules.com and we will handle it for you.
