PluginCity Minimum Order for WooCommerce

Yes. Shortfalls are reported through WooCommerce's Store API, so the block cart and checkout refuse to proceed and show the same message.

Go to WooCommerce → Minimum Order, turn on the minimum spend and type the amount. Customers cannot check out until their cart reaches it.

Yes. The minimum order value is the cart subtotal, before shipping. The answers below explain how tax and coupons are treated.

Yes, with one difference in wording: the amount is judged on the cart subtotal before shipping, not on the final total. You choose whether coupons come off it and whether tax is counted.

The cart subtotal, before shipping. Tax is counted only if your shop shows prices with tax included, so the figure the rule uses is the one the customer sees in their cart. You choose whether coupons come off that amount or not.

Yes. Set Tax to "Always excluding tax" and the minimum is judged on the net figure, whatever your shop displays. Trade suppliers usually want this: they show prices with VAT on but mean the net figure when they quote a minimum. The opposite setting is there too, for a shop that shows net prices but means the gross total.

Yes. Your minimum is typed once, in your shop's own currency, and converted for a customer shopping in another, so nobody is held to a figure that means something else. WPML's multi-currency, Aelia, WOOCS, CURCY and Price Based on Country are all read directly. Pro lets you set a round figure per currency, so a shopper paying in euros is asked for €70 rather than whatever the day's rate makes of $75.

Pro can. Tick "No minimum" against a shipping method and it is let off entirely, which is what click and collect usually wants: a $75 minimum makes sense for loading a van and none at all for somebody walking in.

Pro can: give a user role its own spend or quantity, or let it skip the minimum. The free version holds every customer to the same one.

PayPal's express buttons and those in the Cart and Checkout blocks are refused like any other order. A one-tap button another gateway adds to the classic checkout is the one case not guarded by name, so test it with a short cart.

Not in the free version, which sets one minimum for the whole cart. Pro can raise the minimum when the cart holds a product from a category you choose, and leave products or categories out of the totals.

Yes. Checkout stays blocked until every enabled rule is met, and the customer sees a line for each shortfall.

Yes. Use {remaining}, {minimum} and {current} where those numbers should appear. The settings screen shows a worked example as you type.

Yes. Basic formatting and a link are allowed, so you can point customers at a category that would get them over the line. The block checkout shows the wording without the link, because what it refuses an order with is plain text.

The free version draws it in a plain box that suits most themes, and it can be restyled with your own CSS. Pro gives you the controls instead: colour, fill, border, size, weight, alignment, an optional basket or warning icon, and a rounded box, an outline, or no box at all for a theme that already draws its own panel round the cart.

In the free version, yes: every line in the cart counts. Pro can leave virtual and download-only products out, and a cart that then has nothing left to count is not held to the minimum.

Yes. Nothing is written to orders, so HPOS shops are fully supported.

The plugin steps aside and shows a notice. It does not fatally error, and your settings are waiting when WooCommerce comes back.

No. It is free to use for as long as you like, needs no key, and never contacts PluginCity.
