Set minimum amount and quantity in WooCommerce

By default, WooCommerce does not allow you to set a minimum order amount or minimum order quantity for your WooCommerce store.

To do that, you need to edit your function.php file and write some code for that feature. But it is more complicated than you are thinking. And if you are not familiar with coding, you can’t do that.

That’s why we are going to use a plugin called Wholesale Suite, which is a great wholesale plugin and also helps to add minimum order amount and quantity features to our website.

It also has a free version, so if you want, you can try it once. But my recommendation is to use their paid version, which comes with advanced features and good support.

Step – 1. Install and activate the plugin

First, we are going to install and activate the WooCommerce Wholesale Suite plugin.

To do that, log in to your WordPress dashboard and go to Plugins > Add New and search for ‘WooCommerce Wholesale Suite’ and then install and activate the plugin.

Once you have purchased your plugin, you will get a license key, copy that key.

Next, go to Settings > WWS License and paste your copied license key.

After you have done it, you have successfully installed and activated your WooCommerce Wholesale Suite plugin.

So, let’s move forward to the next step, where we will set our minimum order amount and quantity.

Step – 2. Set minimum order amount and quantity

For doing that, simply go to WooCommerce > Settings and click on the Wholesale Prices tab.

To set a minimum order quantity, simply enter the number you want in the Default Minimum Order Quantity field.

And for setting a minimum order amount, enter the value under the Default Minimum Order Subtotal field.

The next option asks you to apply both conditions (minimum order amount and quantity) or only a single condition.

WooCommerce Wholesale Suite also allows you to set your minimum order amount and quantity based on different user roles, which is an amazing option.

Once you have done configuring it, click on the Save button to save all the changes.

The setup does not take much time, but it also helps you to generate lots of money for a long time. Since you are a wholesaler, your wholesale customers are much more likely to understand the need for minimum purchase amounts or quantities.

The main thing where you need to focus when setting up a minimum order amount or quantity is that it affects the way your shoppers interact and order from you.
