Setting a Minimum Order Amount in Woocommerce

If you want to set a minimum order amount in Woocommerce, there is a simple fix that can be added to functions.php in your website theme.

function w321_set_minimum_order_amount() {    // Set the minimum order amount    $minimum = 30;    // Get the Cart's total    $cart_total = WC()->cart->total;    // If the Cart's total is less than the minimum amount, display an error    if ($cart_total < $minimum) {        wc_add_notice(            sprintf('Your current order total is %s — you must have an order with a minimum of %s to place your order.',                 wc_price($cart_total),                 wc_price($minimum)            ),             'error'        );    }}add_action('woocommerce_check_cart_items', 'w321_set_minimum_order_amount');

Here’s a step-by-step guide to implement this:

1. Backup your WordPress site: Always take a backup before making any changes. This way, you can easily revert back if something goes wrong.
2. Add the code: You can add the above PHP code in one of the following places:
   • Child Theme’s functions.php file: If you are using a child theme, you can add the code to your child theme’s functions.php file. This ensures that your changes aren’t overwritten when the parent theme updates.
   • Custom Plugin: If you prefer to keep your customizations separate from your theme, you can create a simple custom plugin and add the code there.
3. Test: After adding the code, try adding items to your cart and checking out with less than $30 to see if the error message appears.
4. Adjust the minimum value: If in the future you want to change the minimum order amount, just adjust the $minimum value in the code.

Remember that while this method sets a minimum transaction amount, there may be additional configurations or plugins on your WooCommerce site that could conflict with this. Always test thoroughly after making changes.

We'll take good care of your website.
