The Minimum Order Value add-on for CS-Cart lets store owners set a minimum spending amount that customers must reach before they can place an order. If a shopper's cart total is below the threshold, they see a notification that the order total must exceed the set amount before they can proceed to checkout. This helps businesses maintain profitability and manage shipping and promotional costs by controlling order sizes. It is aimed at CS-Cart store owners, including those running a Multi-Vendor marketplace, who want to enforce a minimum purchase amount at checkout.
The Minimum Order Value add-on for CS-Cart allows store owners to set a minimum spending amount that customers must reach before placing an order. This ensures that customers meet a set purchase threshold, helping businesses maintain profitability and streamline shipping or promotional strategies.
For example, if the admin sets the minimum order value as $30 and a customer adds a product worth $20 to the cart, they will receive a notification that the total order amount must exceed $30 to proceed with checkout. Customers will only see the minimum order amount message when their cart total is below the set threshold, making the process clear and user-friendly.

Frequently asked questions
What does the CS-Cart Minimum Order Value add-on do?
It lets the admin define a minimum order amount that a customer's cart must reach before checkout can proceed. For example, if the minimum is set to $30 and the cart total is $20, the customer is notified that the total must exceed $30 to continue.
When do customers see the minimum order message?
The minimum order amount message appears only when the cart total is below the set threshold. Once the cart meets or exceeds the minimum, the message no longer shows and the customer can proceed, which keeps the experience clear and unobtrusive.
Can the minimum amount be changed, and does it work with Multi-Vendor?
Yes. The admin can enter any desired minimum amount while configuring shipping or store settings, and the add-on is managed from the Vendors section, so it fits CS-Cart Multi-Vendor setups. Share your CS-Cart version and we will confirm compatibility.
How is the add-on installed?
It is installed like other CS-Cart add-ons. Follow the standard installation guide at https://store.ecarter.co/blogs/how-to-install-addon/, then configure the minimum amount in your store or shipping settings.
