Minimum Order

[tenpercentfirearms]

I just used my basic Zen Cart skills and made the install. It seems to be working. Thank you!

Hi there,

This is an older thread, but hopefully someone here can still help me.

I've installed the Minimum Order module and it works fine as described. No problem there.

However, I find that the warning message appearing on the shopping cart page to be a little offputting (it makes it seem like the customer has done something wrong the very first time they add a low cost item to the cart). I'd rather have the message appear a step later on the checkout page. I'm also using the FEC module, so would like the warning message to appear on the FEC one page checkout page (instead of the shopping cart page).

I tried playing around with the case statements in the class.minimum_order_amount.php file, but can't seem to get it right. Does anyone here (especially the module developers) have any thoughts on how to accomplish this?

For reference, here's the pertinent code from that file:

  function update(&$class, $eventID) {
    global $messageStack;
    global $currencies;
	global $db;
    switch ($eventID) {
      case 'NOTIFIER_CART_GET_PRODUCTS_END':
      case 'NOTIFY_HEADER_END_SHOPPING_CART':
	    if (isset($_SESSION['customer_id'])){
			$prevOrders = $db->Execute("SELECT count(orders_id) total_orders FROM ".TABLE_ORDERS." WHERE customers_id = ".(int)$_SESSION['customer_id']);
			if ((int)$prevOrders->fields['total_orders'] == 0) {
				if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() > 0 && MIN_FIRST_ORDER_AMOUNT > 0) {
				  if($_SESSION['cart']->show_total() < MIN_FIRST_ORDER_AMOUNT && $_SESSION['cart']->show_total() > 0) {
					$_SESSION['valid_to_checkout'] = false;
					$messageStack->add('shopping_cart', sprintf(TEXT_FIRST_ORDER_UNDER_MIN_AMOUNT, $currencies->format(MIN_FIRST_ORDER_AMOUNT)) . '<br />', 'caution');
				  }
				}
			} else {
				if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() > 0 && MIN_ORDER_AMOUNT > 0) {
				  if($_SESSION['cart']->show_total() < MIN_ORDER_AMOUNT && $_SESSION['cart']->show_total() > 0) {
					$_SESSION['valid_to_checkout'] = false;
					$messageStack->add('shopping_cart', sprintf(TEXT_ORDER_UNDER_MIN_AMOUNT, $currencies->format(MIN_ORDER_AMOUNT)) . '<br />', 'caution');
				  }
				}
			}
		} else {
			if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() > 0 && MIN_ORDER_AMOUNT > 0) {
			  if($_SESSION['cart']->show_total() < MIN_ORDER_AMOUNT && $_SESSION['cart']->show_total() > 0) {
				$_SESSION['valid_to_checkout'] = false;
				$messageStack->add('shopping_cart', sprintf(TEXT_ORDER_UNDER_MIN_AMOUNT, $currencies->format(MIN_ORDER_AMOUNT)) . '<br />', 'caution');
			  }
			}
		}
        break;
      case 'NOTIFY_HEADER_START_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING':
      case 'NOTIFY_HEADER_START_CHECKOUT_PAYMENT':
      case 'NOTIFY_HEADER_START_CHECKOUT_CONFIRMATION':
	    if (isset($_SESSION['customer_id'])){
			$prevOrders = $db->Execute("SELECT count(orders_id) total_orders FROM ".TABLE_ORDERS." WHERE customers_id = ".(int)$_SESSION['customer_id']);
			if ((int)$prevOrders->fields['total_orders'] == 0) {
				if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() > 0 && MIN_FIRST_ORDER_AMOUNT > 0) {
				  if($_SESSION['cart']->show_total() < MIN_FIRST_ORDER_AMOUNT && $_SESSION['cart']->show_total() > 0) {
					zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART));
				  }
				}
			} else {
				if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() > 0 && MIN_ORDER_AMOUNT > 0) {
				  if($_SESSION['cart']->show_total() < MIN_ORDER_AMOUNT && $_SESSION['cart']->show_total() > 0) {
					zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART));
				  }
				}
			}
		} else {
			if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() > 0 && MIN_ORDER_AMOUNT > 0) {
			  if($_SESSION['cart']->show_total() < MIN_ORDER_AMOUNT && $_SESSION['cart']->show_total() > 0) {
				zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART));
			  }
			}
		}
        break;
      default:
        break;
    }
  }

Thanks!

Zen Cart 1.3.9h.

has anyone using this mod had any luck adding a SELECT statement to limit the mod to only affect certain product ID's? This does not have to be editable via the admin, hardcoding in the class.minimum_order_amount.php would be fine.
any help appreciated!

Hi,

I installed the Minimum Order mod from http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=599 into a ZC version 1.5 store and it apparently installed OK, because I was able to set the minimum order in ZC admin in Configuration>Minimum vales...the mod appears there.

However when I ordered something less than 25 dollars - which is what I set the minimum order as, I was still able to purchase the item. ZC took me to Pay Pal to pay for the item, even though the item price total including shipping was less than 25 bucks.

Anyone have an idea as to what is going wrong?

Was this an upgrade or a new install?

I thought the "Minimum Order" was a new feature in 1.5 so I didn't understand why it wasn't working. But turns out it was just old information leftover from my previous version of ZenCart. Unused field in the database.

I haven't tried installing the Minimum Order Mod. But I'm getting annoyed because the orders in my shop are getting smaller and smaller and SMALLER. Two or Three dollars, which is just silly considering the cost of postage is much more than the items they are purchasing. I really wish I could set a minimum order of at least $5.00. I could add it somewhere to the template I suppose, as a policy statement.

I see that Ajeh had the mod working (great news, yeah!!) so I installed it on my 1.5 site and it's working perfectly.

I did see in the instructions that if you're having issues, you should run the uninstall script and then reinstall again from scratch.

By the way, if the mod has installed successfully, a default amount of 10 is in the configuration.

I'm very happy this mod is working. I set the minimum very low, only $6.99 but that does make a difference.

daffy, it was a fresh, brand new install.

While you will be able to go to PayPal with the Minimum Order and the shopping cart having less than that using the PayPal button on shopping_cart ... are you actually able to check out? Or, are you returned to the shopping_cart page from PayPal?

I installed the 'Minimum Order' add on, and it works on v1.50. Thank You!

I have the checkout integrated with "paypal buy now button" which bypasses the normal zen cart checkout process.
When trying to purchase, paypal returned me to the zen shopping cart with the message "Warning A minimum order amount of $50.00 is required for your first order to checkout. PAYPAL DID NOT PROCESS THE PAYMENT.

Summary
Minimum Order 'add on' seems to work, preventing checkout, even with paypal checkout integration implemented.

Thanks to the authors for this great little 'mod'!!

This is the first time I have ever posted anywhere, ever. But I have searched and searched and could not find anything, and I know this must be so simple... I have installed this mod and everything is absolutely perfect (on v1.5 Zen Cart fresh install). I have also installed the minimum checkout details mod (as my products are all virtual). This mod still works, but when I add a Coupon discount and the amount goes below the minimum, it lets it go through, I saw that this mod uses the $_SESSION['cart']->show_total(), I tried to change this to the global $order->info['total'] and had to change the NOTIFY_STARTS to NOTIFY_ENDS (if that makes sense) otherwise the $order->info['total'] was empty, but even this figure displays the total amount before deductions... I have tried everything my limited experience can come up with and have had so many HTTP500 errors. I know this must be a something easy and simple and I am hoping someone will be able to assist me. Thanking you in advance.
