Order rules that actually hold
Minimum lets you control how much of each product customers must buy and how much they must spend before checkout. Rules per product, category or globally, plus a minimum order total, enforced at the cart and checkout.
Works with
Order rules are often easy to bypass
A store sells in packs or has a minimum-order threshold, but a hint on the product page does not stop the shopper. Orders below the threshold reach fulfilment and cost support time.
- ✗ Rules as a product-page hint, not hard validation
- ✗ Below-minimum orders that need manual correction
- ✗ Pack-sold products bought as single units
- ✗ No consistent cart-value threshold before checkout
Minimum enforces rules where it matters
- ✓ Min, max and step rules per product, category or globally
- ✓ A minimum order total against the cart subtotal
- ✓ Validation on add-to-cart, in the cart and at checkout
- ✓ Clear notices that block checkout until rules are met
What you get in the free version
Everything you need to make orders follow your rules.
Minimum quantity
Require at least N units of a product before checkout.
Maximum quantity
Cap how many units a customer can buy.
Step quantity
Force purchases in multiples, for example sold in packs of 6.
Minimum order total
Require a minimum cart subtotal to check out.
Rule precedence
A product rule overrides a category rule, which overrides the global rule, per constraint.
Custom messages
Edit the notice for each unmet rule, with tokens {min}, {max}, {step}, {product}, {total}.
Up and running in three steps

Frequently asked questions
Does Minimum require WooCommerce?
Yes. Minimum is a WooCommerce extension and requires WooCommerce 8.0 or later.
How do rules combine?
For each constraint (min, max, step) the most specific matching rule wins: a product rule beats a category rule, which beats the global rule. Leave a field at 0 to ignore that constraint.
Does it work with the block cart and checkout?
Yes. Quantity and order-total rules are evaluated against the cart, so notices appear and checkout is blocked in both the classic and block-based cart/checkout.
Can I customise the notices?
Yes. Each notice is editable on the settings screen and supports tokens such as {min}, {max}, {step}, {product} and {total}.
What happens when I delete the plugin?
The uninstall routine removes the minimum_settings and minimum_db_version options. No custom tables are created, so your database is left clean.
Does Minimum pair with Rapid and Tipping?
Yes. Rapid speeds up placing large orders, and Tipping adds an optional tip at checkout. All three are from wppoland.com and work independently.
