Setting a minimum order amount is a useful feature in e-commerce platforms like Magento 2. It allows you to enforce a minimum threshold that customers must meet to place an order. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of setting a minimum order amount in Magento 2. Let's get started!
Prerequisites Before proceeding with the steps below, make sure you have:
- Access to your Magento 2 admin panel
- Administrative privileges to modify configuration settings
Step 1: Accessing the Configuration
- Log in to your Magento 2 admin panel.
- From the admin sidebar, navigate to Stores > Configuration.
Step 2: Configuring the Minimum Order Amount
- In the left-hand sidebar, under Sales, click on Sales.
- Expand the Minimum Order Amount section.
- Configure the following options:
- Enabled: Set this option to "Yes" to enable the minimum order amount feature.
- Minimum Order Amount: Enter the minimum order amount value here. For example, if you want to set the minimum order amount to $100, enter "100".
- Display Error Message: Choose whether to display an error message to customers when the minimum order amount is not met. Select "Yes" if you want to display an error message, or "No" to disable the message.
Step 3: Save the Configuration
- After configuring the options, click on the Save Config button at the top right corner of the page.
- Flush the Magento cache to ensure the changes take effect. You can do this by navigating to System > Cache Management and clicking on the Flush Magento Cache button.
Step 4: Testing the Minimum Order Amount Once you have configured the minimum order amount, test it by adding products to the cart and attempting to place an order. If the order amount is below the specified minimum, the system should display an error message (if enabled) and prevent the order from being placed until the minimum requirement is met.
