PluginCity Minimum Order for WooCommerce

It does the same job: a minimum order amount, a notice on the cart, and no checkout until the cart reaches it. It is a different plugin by a different author and we have no connection to it. The differences to know about: this plugin judges the cart subtotal before shipping, where WC Minimum Order Amount 1.1 (2020) compares the cart total, which includes shipping and tax; it refuses the order on classic and block checkout; and it offers a minimum quantity.

1. Note your amount and wording under WooCommerce → Settings → Minimum order settings.
2. Install and activate this plugin. It starts with a minimum spend of 50 in your shop's currency switched on, so open WooCommerce → Minimum Order straight away and set your own figure.
3. Choose how tax and coupons are treated, and check the worked example at the top.
4. Retype your wording if you want it, using {remaining}, {minimum} and {current}.
5. Test with a short cart on the cart and at checkout.
6. Deactivate and delete the old plugin. While both are active, both rules apply.

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.

It is the minimum order value: the cart subtotal, before shipping, not the final total. Tax is counted only if your shop shows prices with tax included, so the figure is the one the customer sees in their cart. You choose whether coupons come off it.

Yes. Set Tax to "Always excluding tax" and the minimum is judged on the net figure, whatever your shop displays. 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. 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.

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 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 it 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.

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 it refuses an order with 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 controls for colour, fill, border, size, weight, alignment, an optional icon, and the shape of the box.

In the free version, yes: every line counts. Pro can leave virtual and download-only products out, and a cart with 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. Your settings are waiting when WooCommerce comes back.

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