Set Minimum Order Amount on Shopify
Set a minimum purchase amount so every order clears your cost threshold — Set a minimum cart total in dollars. Customers must reach the threshold before checkout completes — eliminating orders that cost more to fulfill than they earn.

Why merchants need this
The challenge and how Nex MOQ solves it
Without order limits
An $18 candle costs $8 to ship and $3 to pack. That's an $7 order that barely breaks even before payment processing. Without a dollar minimum, these micro-orders pile up and quietly drain your margins.
With Nex MOQ
Set a minimum cart total and let customers see exactly how much more to spend. Checkout stays blocked until the threshold is met — on every payment method, including accelerated checkout.
How to set it up
No code required. Just create a rule and activate it.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about minimum order amount
Is the minimum based on cart total before or after discounts?
After discounts. If a discount code drops the total below the minimum, checkout is blocked.
Can I set different minimums for different countries?
Yes. Use country-based conditions to set different amounts per shipping destination.
Does this work with multi-currency stores?
The rule is set in your store's base currency. Shopify handles conversion for international customers.
