Global Restriction

↑ Back to top

Global Restriction is a feature that allows you to enforce a universal minimum/maximum order amount across your WooCommerce store. When enabled, this restriction overrides all other rules and applies a specific minimum/maximum amount to all orders, ensuring consistency for every purchase.

For example, if you set a global minimum amount of $50, customers will not be able to complete their order unless the total amount in their cart meets or exceeds this value.

How to Set Up Global Restriction?

1. Access the Settings:
   • Go to WooCommerce > Settings in your WordPress admin panel.
   • Click on the “Minimum Order Amount” tab in the WooCommerce settings.
2. Configure the Minimum/Maximum Order Amount:
   • In the Global Restriction section, enter the desired minimum/maximum order amount (e.g., $50).
   • Add a custom error message, such as:
     “Your order must be at least $50 to proceed.”
3. Save Changes:
   • Click the Save Changes button to activate the restriction.

Once configured, the Global Restriction will override all other rules and ensure that no order below the specified amount can be placed.

That’s it! You’ve successfully installed, configured, and started using the “Minimum Order Amount” plugin.
