Set minimum order amount for checkout

Hi, i want to set a basket limit after which user will be able checkout if that minimum amount does not meet than customer should not be able to checkout, I have shopify basic subscription and don’t want a paid plugin.

Hey @ammarasjad !

Thank you for your great question!

The easiest way of achieving this would be to use an app, although you mentioned you would prefer to not use a plugin here. Just in case you change your mind, Order limits by MinMaxify here is quite a popular app among our merchants.

Should you prefer to get this functionality coded into your store rather than using an app, you can also consider hiring an Expert Developer here to create a private app or otherwise handle this using a custom-coded solution. You can post a job there and see what type of quotes you get for it.

That being said, this would be a great feature to have! I do think this idea great. I will submit this to our internal team to be reviewed as a possible future feature of the admin. As our platform is constantly growing and improving, our team love to get feedback from our merchants on what features/edits they need to improve their workflow. So once I submit this as a feature request on your behalf, our team can review the request. So hopefully, this can be something that is available in the future.

By the way, how is business going? I’d love to hear more about what goals you’ve set for this year ahead?

Yes it is possible to set minimum order amount for checkout using the Cart Lock https://apps.shopify.com/cart-lock app easily. For this you have to do this:

  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 your minimum amount limit 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.

Let me know if it works.

Hello there,

You can try Bony Checkout Rules, it’s too easy to setup. You can follow this instruction: Bony: Checkout Rules Help Center | How to Set Up a Minimum Order Value

You can reach out via live chat to get support any time

If you don’t want paid plugins then go for custom code in the Shopify theme. You can easily check the cart value and disable the checkout button.
{% if cart.total > 500 %}
// put the checkout button here or just render the disabled property of the button
{% endif %}

You are in luck, Shopify released this yesterday.
