Currently if you add a minimum order to checkout it counts including shipping and handling fees.

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.

Zyles-

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.

[abloom]

I'm make the changes. Thank you for such a speedy response.

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 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,

Is this what yall are looking for? http://forum.cs-cart...t=Minimum order

Hi gang,

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.

[WebGuy]

Did you click on the link to the http://forum.cs-cart...t=Minimum order

yourwebsite.com/core/fn_cart.php

[rugger]

I changed the code to subtotal in all 4 places but the cart still allows and order to be placed if the total exceeds the minimum set using admin:settings:general.

Thanks for pointing me to the file.

[WebGuy]

Have you cleared your template cache and logged out?
Then log back in.

It's working perfectly for me on the 1.3.5SP4 default_orange skin.

[rugger]

Now my "rooky-ness" kicks in. I don't know what you mean by clearing my template cache. I did checkout an log back in of the cart Website.

[WebGuy]

No problem...

In your ADMIN
Administration > Cleanup Templates Cache

[rugger]

I ran clean up template cache but the cart still passes an over limit total with an under limit sub total. The minimum is set at $12. I have entered merchandise with a sub total of $11.25 and $.80 tax for a total of $12.05 and it allows it.

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.

[WebGuy]

It's kind of hard to say without actually seeing anything

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)...

[rugger]

I'll start from scratch and redo everything. Who know? I probably missed something so I'll double check it all. Any way, I've got to get ready to teach a class tonight.

Thanks for all of the help.

I know this sounds stupid but you are changing the templates in the correct skin?

[rugger]

OK, now I'm confused. The file fn_cart.php in the core folder. The default skin is in the skins folder. Am I changing the wrong file in the wrong folder?
