## Description

**Set a minimum order amount and/or a minimum item quantity for your WooCommerce
store — in under a minute. Works on classic _and_ block checkout.**

Small baskets can cost more to fulfil than they earn. This plugin lets you require
a minimum cart subtotal, a minimum number of items, or both, before a customer can
check out. Shoppers see a clear, customisable message telling them exactly what 
is missing.

#### Features (all free, fully functional)

 * Minimum cart **amount** rule (subtotal)
 * Minimum cart **quantity** rule (total items)
 * **AND / OR** logic when both rules are set
 * Custom error message with `{min_amount}` and `{min_qty}` placeholders
 * Works on **classic checkout and block checkout** (Store API)
 * Store managers and admins are exempt, so you can always test checkout
 * One clean tab under **WooCommerce  Settings  Min Order** — no admin menu clutter
 * HPOS compatible, no jQuery, nothing loaded on the front end

#### Pro version (separate plugin)

A Pro version with role-based minimums, shipping-zone and category rules, maximum
order limits, guest-specific minimums and excluded products is distributed separately
on [cartmend.com](https://cartmend.com/). The free plugin on this page is complete
and fully functional on its own.

## Screenshots

 * Settings page — enable rule, set minimum amount and/or quantity, customise the
   message.

 * Storefront notice on cart and checkout when the minimum is not met.

 * Block checkout integration — validation runs through the Store API.
 * [[
 * WooCommerce  Settings tab — one clean tab, no admin menu clutter.

## Installation

 1. Install and activate the plugin (WooCommerce must be active).
 2. Go to **WooCommerce  Settings  Min Order**.
 3. Enable the rule, set a minimum amount and/or quantity, adjust the message, save.
 4. Test in a private window (admins are exempt by design).

## FAQ

### Does it work with the WooCommerce block checkout?

Yes. Validation runs through the Store API, so the rule is enforced on both classic
and block checkout.

### Why can I still check out as admin?

Users with the `manage_woocommerce` capability are exempt so store owners can always
place test orders. Use a private/incognito window to see the rule as a customer.

### Can I require both an amount and a quantity?

Yes — set both and choose AND (both required) or OR (either satisfies the rule).

### Does it slow my store down?

No. It is a single small PHP file, loads no JavaScript or CSS on the front end, 
and only runs its check on cart/checkout validation.
