Getting started

Most shops can enforce their first order rule in a few minutes. Install Minimum, open the settings, add a rule.

Before you start

Section titled “Before you start”
  • WordPress 6.5 or newer
  • WooCommerce 8.0 or newer (HPOS and Cart/Checkout Blocks supported)
  • PHP 8.1 or newer

Install

Section titled “Install”
  1. Install WooCommerce and make sure it is active.
  2. Install Minimum from the plugin directory (when live on WordPress.org) or upload the minimum folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
  3. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.

Add your first rule

Section titled “Add your first rule”

Open WooCommerce → Minimum:

  • Scope — choose Global, a Category, or a specific Product.
  • Minimum — require at least N units (leave 0 to ignore).
  • Maximum — cap units per order (leave 0 to ignore).
  • Step — force multiples, for example packs of 6 (leave 0 to ignore).
  • Minimum order total — require a minimum cart subtotal to check out.
  • Notices — edit the message for each unmet rule, using tokens such as {min}, {max}, {step}, {product} and {total}.

Start simple, for example a product with a minimum quantity of 3, or a global minimum order total.

Verify on the storefront

Section titled “Verify on the storefront”
  1. Add fewer than the minimum to the cart — the unmet-rule notice should appear and checkout should be blocked.
  2. Try to exceed the maximum — the cap should hold.
  3. Add a quantity that breaks the step — the step notice should explain the required multiple.
  4. Repeat the checks in both the classic and block cart/checkout.

Custom notices

Section titled “Custom notices”

Each notice is editable on the settings screen and supports tokens such as {min}, {max}, {step}, {product} and {total}, so the message always names the exact product and value.

Free vs PRO

Section titled “Free vs PRO”

The free edition covers per-product, per-category and global rules (min, max, step), a minimum order total and customisable notices, enforced on add-to-cart and at cart/checkout.

Minimum PRO (planned) adds per-role rules, scheduled rules, bulk import and conditional logic — not basic order rules.
