Hi,
Here is what's available by default, to somehow restrict the amount of orders:
- in the Products->Limits menu you can add restrictions per user. So if the issue is linked to the same customers purchasing too often on your shop, you can restrict them to only make for example one purchase per week or per day per user account.
- in the System>Plugins menu, you can create new instances of the "shop close hours" plugin in order to configure hours when the checkout is open every day. That way, outside these hours the checkout won't be possible. That will probably prevent some users from purchasing on your shop.
- You could disable some country zones in the menu System>Zones so that people from some countries couldn't purchase anymore.
Besides that, the development of a plugin would be required to really limit the number of orders per day.
