How to add Minimum Order Value to 'Refresh' Theme?

[davidjrmorris]

Hey guys,

Our team is way to busy to handle $5-$20 orders, and we want to optimize our checkout system to stop people from placing such small orders. I'd love to start with a $50 minimum order, and eventually as we grow a database, increase this to $80 in the semi-near future. Is there a way to do this? I've never done coding, but if there is coding necessary, as simple step by step guide would be greatly appreciated.

Yes it is possible to add a minimum order value using the Cart Lock https://apps.shopify.com/cart-lock app easily. Here is how you can do it:

1. Open the app and click on the "Add a new rule" button.
2. Click "Add a new condition" and select the "Cart subtotal" then put 50 in the "Block if less than" field.
3. In the "Error message" field, add an appropriate message which will be displayed in the checkout page.
4. Save the rule.

Now your customers cannot order for less than $50.
