    red flag Minimum Dollar Value issue

    Minimum Order Value of $75

    I Have a client who wishes to have a minimum order value of $75 and a $10 delivery fee.
    They do not want free shipping over a particular amount ...They do not want a minimum amount of any particular product.They want to force customers to purchase $75 worth of stock or not be able to process the order.

    Is there any way that this can be done ...I did find a link to an sql script but following the link in the post that i found the script is no longer available and reading the posts looks like it may not have worked properly

    I have looked in the FAQ and have found the same question by others but the answers they got were related to minimum quantity of prodct but my customer is very clear that they want a minimum dollar value regardless of how much or what product is purchased.

    This is on a new site that i have set up at http://www.ondexconnections.com/carveups/

    It is not live yet but my client is very keen to get this going by the beginning of next week and i am sooooo close to having it get over the line i can smell it!

    I am using Zen Cart 1.3.8a
    Database Patch Level: 1.3.8

    Apologies if i have made any errors in this post but i am new and very keen to get this resolved.

    The $10 shipping fee can be done simply by using the flat rate shipping module.

    The minimum order is not supported directly by Zen Cart, but Zen Cart has a feature called extra cart actions that could be used. Basically this is a folder into which you can drop snippets of PHP that will be executed as the cart page is loaded. In this case I think that you'd want to examine the cart total and put out a warning message if it's less than $75.

    Actually inhibiting the checkout could be done by inserting some extra code to check the total again into the header_php.php file for the checkout_confirmation page and removing the final checkout button if it's below $75.

    Just stumbled across this add-on module that would take care of the minimum order part of your question.
