Overview of Minimum Order Charge

Excerpt

The Minimum Order Charge functionality will automatically apply a charge to a customer's order if the total order is under a specified minimum amount. If this function is enabled, upon checkout, a message will appear to inform the customer of the charge.


You can enable/disable Minimum Order Charge at two levels:

...

Configuring Charge Threshold and Charge Amount

To configure the Charge Threshold and Charge Amount:

  1. In the CMS, navigate to Settings → Settings.

  2. Click the Orders tab.

  3. Click the Restrictions and Charges sub-tab.

  4. In the 'Order Limits' section you can:
    1. Configure the 'Minimum Order Value' setting - This is the minimum amount the order must be to prevent the application of the minimum order charge. Anything below this will result in the Minimum Order Charge being applied.
    2. Configure the 'Charge amount for under Order Limit' setting - This is how much the Minimum Order Charge will be if the order is less than the Minimum Order Value.
