Client asked how they can set a minimum dollar order amount for shipping items. They said "small orders are killing us on shipping costs". They want to set say a minimum order amount of $20.00 not including tax and shipping fees to ship orders.

How or where can that be adjusted in the cart?

Thanks in advance for help.

Are they offering free shipping? If so, I would setup a storewide discount for free shipping over $20.

If not, why isn't the shipping costs being covered thru the cart during checkout?

Hi Ray, I tend to agree with Mark there.

However, if they do want to set a minimum, then this is what you want.

Forcing minimum purchase amount

Setting the parameter $minpurchaseamount will force a minimum purchase amount. You can also set the parameter $minpurchasemessage to display a message / html if the minimum purchase amount is not met. For instance...
$minpurchaseamount=4.99;
$minpurchasemessage="I'm sorry, we have a minimum purchase amount of £4.99. Please go back and <b>buy some more</b>";
