Minimum order to checkout fix
Posted 21 November 2006 - 11:31 PM #1
This makes no sense because the stores usually do not get any money for the shipping (because it goes to shipping costs, duh).
But if the shipping depends on the product and the destination. The shipping costs can vary, so depending on where the customer lives, they have to shop for different values.
Here are two examples:
Minimum order is set to $20
Customer 1 (Canada):
Shipping cost $10
Orders for $10 to meet minimum $20
Store makes $10 in sales
Customer 2 (USA):
Shipping cost $5
Orders for $15 to meet minimum $20
Store makes $15 in sales
Basicly different customers need to shop different minimums, and the store never makes AT LEAST $20 as intended.
This is wrong imo.
The cart should rather than calculating minimum order on cart total cost. Calculate it on the subtotal (excluding surcharges and shipping fees), to always match what the store needs to minimum make in profit on each order.
It's a simple fix.
Edit: customer/cart_pages/checkout.tpl
Find: $settings.General.min_order_amount <= $cart.total
Change to: $settings.General.min_order_amount <= $cart.subtotal
Find: $settings.General.min_order_amount > $cart.total
Change to: $settings.General.min_order_amount > $cart.subtotal
This is how other carts works, and is a more logical approach for store owners.

This is why I would like to see order minimums set in the Membership. For instance, we have different minimums for wholesale and retail customers.

Yes this should be an obvious thing aswell.

I have looked up the information given to correct this, but within 1.3.5 it appears the above information does not work. Does anyone have a clue on how to make it work off the subtotal within 1.3.5?
Thanks,

I want to know that too, thanks.I would have to agree that CS-Cart is setting this up a little backward and should be basing the minimum on the subtotal and not the total.

I can't find the file to change anywhere in ver. 1.3.5 sp4. I want to change the minimum value to subtotal. Any ideas where this located?
Thanks.

Made the changes by downloading the file from the core folder on the Website, modified it using Homesite 5 editor and uploaded the new file. I viewed the online file and it looks right.

Did you make a backup of the original?
Maybe try to set it back to ORDER TOTAL and see if it works that way.
If it does than you might have missed a setting somewhere when you edited the file(s)...
