Minimum Order

Is it possible to have a minimum order.

Im hhavig na wholesale site, and i want a minimum order or the ycant place an order

There is not a built-in function for this.

However, there is a Low Order Fee you can activate in admin > Modules > Order Total which can be used to accomplish the goal.

Set the low order fee to a high enough figure that, if anyone still wants to order, the profit will make it worthwhile.

Post a prominent notice that there is a minimum order of $xxx, and most will get the message.

hmm that sucks then dont it

Oh it is not exactly true..... There is no built in function, but you could use the module I have written a long time ago! -> http://www.modyourzencart.com/free-of-charge/general-modules/min-order-amount

Glad I could help. :smile:

Does that work with 1.3.7?

Yes it works with every 1.3.x version

cool, you should put it in the download section here

I think he wants to keep the mods on his site to drive traffic to his business.
It's a sound business decision.

It may suck but!!!! When you are dealing with a bunch of people that just love doing this on all sites that they go on, or when you get a number that do it on your own site! The amount of money it costs you for an order under $10.00 is not worth the time or effort.

So, thank you for this post! After having a so and so order a $2.00 item I went in and did what you had stated in this post. Let's see the next dummy come in and try to pull the same thing off!

Very easy and effective soloution here:

(We use it).

I see Andrew posted his mod just after the original discussion on this thread.

It actually seems to me that a low order fee is more user-friendly, in that it allows someone who really wants just one of something and is willing to pay what it takes to be accommodated. Anyway, it's good to have both options possible.
