Minimum Order Amount
Set a minimum cart total before customers can checkout from your Shopify store.
Low-value orders can eat your margins. Shipping costs, transaction fees, and fulfilment labour can make small orders unprofitable. TWDH Minimum Order Amount lets you set a minimum cart value and block checkout until it's reached.
The cart notice updates in real-time as customers add items, showing exactly how much more they need to reach the threshold. The message is fully customizable. Wholesale customers or trusted accounts can be tagged in Shopify to bypass the minimum automatically.
The Pro plan adds multiple minimums by product collection, customer tag-based bypasses, and a minimum order notice on product pages as well as the cart.

Up and running in minutes
Three simple steps to get real results — no developer needed.
Set your minimum
Enter your minimum order amount in the app settings. The checkout block activates immediately.
Customize the notice
Write the message customers see in the cart — for example 'Add $15 more to unlock checkout'.
Protect your margins
Customers below the threshold see the notice and are encouraged to add more. Qualifying customers checkout normally.
Built for Shopify merchants
No bloat. No surprises. Just the features that matter for your store.
Real-time cart updates
The remaining amount notice updates instantly as customers add or remove items — no page reload.
Checkout protection
The checkout button is disabled server-side as well as client-side — customers can't bypass the minimum.
Tag-based bypass
Tag wholesale customers in Shopify to automatically bypass the minimum order requirement.
Everything it can do
A complete breakdown of every capability — free and Pro.
Cart Total Minimum
Blocks the checkout button and shows a notice when the cart total is below your configured minimum. Works in real time as products are added or removed.
Real-Time Progress Notice
Shows customers exactly how much more they need to add — 'You're $12.50 away from the minimum order.' Updates live without page refresh.
Configurable Minimum Amount
Set any dollar amount as your minimum. Update it at any time from the app dashboard — no code changes, no theme edits required.
Wholesale Customer Bypass
Whitelist customers by Shopify tag — wholesale accounts, VIPs, or staff can checkout below the minimum without seeing the restriction notice.
Product Exclusions (Pro)
Exclude specific products from counting toward the minimum order total — useful for excluding add-ons, samples, or gift cards.
Collection-Level Minimums (Pro)
Set different minimums for different product collections — a higher minimum for custom orders, lower for in-stock items.
Custom Notice Styling (Pro)
Match the minimum order notice to your theme — change colors, font size, border style, and position to blend seamlessly with your cart design.
Discount Code Exceptions (Pro)
Allow specific discount codes to override the minimum order requirement — useful for promotional campaigns where you want to waive the restriction.
Made for Shopify merchants
Built by a real web design agency for merchants who need professional tools without the enterprise price tag.
Low-margin product sellers
Stores where small orders become unprofitable after shipping and transaction fees are deducted.
Wholesale and B2B
Wholesale stores that need a minimum order requirement while allowing exceptions for key accounts.
Free shipping stores
Stores offering free shipping above a threshold who want to incentivize customers to add more to cart.

What merchants say
Real feedback from Shopify store owners and developers.
"We had too many $8 orders that cost us money after fees and shipping. Setting a $50 minimum cut those orders completely and our average order value went up."
Craig B.
Owner, Industrial Supplies Direct
"The customer tag bypass is the feature I needed. Retail customers have a $40 minimum; our wholesale accounts are exempt. Works exactly as expected."
Tanya M.
Owner, Craft Supplies Wholesale
"Simple and effective. The cart notice is clear, customers add more to qualify, and our average order value has noticeably increased since installing."
