Minimum purchase amounts for wholesale orders

You can set a minimum order amount for your wholesale store in the Preferences page to ensure that your customers spend a certain amount each time they place a wholesale order. For individual customers, you can set the amount from their customer page. A minimum order amount set for a wholesale customer takes precedence over the minimum order amount set for the store.

For example, you set $150 as the minimum order amount for your wholesale store. Then, you set the minimum order amount to $200 for customer Joe. All customers except for Joe create orders that meet or exceed $150. Joe creates orders that meet or exceed $200.

You can also set minimum and maximum quantity amounts for individual products and variants when you create your price lists. Learn more about wholesale price lists.
