How can you restrict orders to be above a certain minimum order value ?

And by value you did mean total price amount correct? Not a minimum quantity of product? (The above plugin is for the first aspect.)

If it is a minimum quantity of product you require:
In your admin -> catalog -> categories/products-> select your category -> select your product -> look for Product Qty Minimum: and enter your value.

Hope that helps,

Hi, the Minimum Order plugin mentioned above is great (as is everyone who posts replies here on this lovely forum, thankyou so much by the way) it works very nicely by preventing the 'Go to checkout' button working unless they have hit the minimum order value.

But.. if I have the 'Checkout with paypal' module installed there is a button that will still take them out to pay pal to make their payment even though they are below the min order value.

I was wondering, there probably is a way to get this button to also check before working
but im not sure how (not good with code) anyone got an idea or fancy updating this plugin? Thank you in advance, George

While PayPal doesn't like it when you do, you have the option to entirely turn off that "Express Checkout Shortcut Button" inside your Express Checkout module settings.

Alternatively this might work too:
edit /includes/modules/payment/paypal/tpl_ec_button.php and add the section shown here:

  // cart contents qty must be >0 and value >0
  if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() <= 0 || $_SESSION['cart']->total == 0) {
    $paypalec_enabled = false;
  }


  // enforce minimum order value
  if (defined('MIN_ORDER_AMOUNT') && MIN_ORDER_AMOUNT > 0 && $currencies->value($_SESSION['cart']->total, true, DEFAULT_CURRENCY) < MIN_ORDER_AMOUNT) {
    $paypalec_enabled = false;
  }


  // PayPal module cannot be used for purchase > $10,000 USD equiv
  if ($currencies->value($_SESSION['cart']->total, true, 'USD') > 10000) {
    $paypalec_enabled = false;
  }

You'll need to re-add that customisation during any Zen Cart upgrades you do.

FYI This module is incorporated in Zen Cart core.

Adjustments are made in Admin >> Configuration >> Minimum Values

Time passed for edit. This mod is not included in the current version.

Hi, this is a really late reply but thank you DrByte your suggestion worked perfectly. I didn't see your original reply but i have just re discovered this thread after upgrading to ZC 1.5.8a and your tweak worked brilliantly, the Checkout with paypal just appears by magic once the order is above the threshold set, thank you. And in case anyone else finds this helpful the minimum order quantity plugin being discussed here works fine with 158a and php 8.1
