Not all categories have the same costs or the same margins. A distributor might need a minimum of €150 in machinery, €50 in spare parts and no minimum at all in consumables. Minimum Order by Category lets you configure exactly that: a different amount for each category, managed from a single panel in the backoffice.

Categories without a configured minimum continue to work normally. Only the ones you define apply the restriction.

When the cart contains products from a category with a configured minimum, the module displays a clear notice showing the remaining amount needed to reach it. The notice appears both in the cart and in the checkout, updated in real time as the customer adds or removes products.

The checkout button remains locked until the minimum for all affected categories is met. No surprises at payment, no confusing error messages.

Distributors and wholesalers selling through PrestaShop need to control the profitability of each order by product family. An order of 3 units of a high-logistics-cost product may not be profitable even if the total cart value is high.

With this module you can set the rules your business needs: minimum per main category, per subfamily or any combination of categories in your catalogue.

Upload the ZIP from Modules → Module Manager → Upload a module and PrestaShop handles the rest. The module automatically creates the necessary database tables.

Compatible with any database prefix and with MultiShop installations. No need to modify any theme or PrestaShop core files.
