Shipping cost coverage
Ensure orders cover shipping expenses — If you offer free shipping, set a minimum cart value that ensures every order covers its shipping cost. Common for stores with heavy or bulky items where shipping eats into margin.

Why merchants need this
The challenge and how Nex MOQ solves it
Without order limits
You offer free shipping to compete, but a customer orders one $15 item that costs $12 to ship. Your $3 margin doesn't even cover the packaging. Free shipping is eating your profits.
With Nex MOQ
Set a minimum cart amount that ensures every order covers its shipping cost. Use AND conditions to set different thresholds by country — e.g., Country = US AND min $50, Country = Canada AND min $75. Customers see a clear message: "Add $X more for free shipping."
How to set it up
No code required. Just create a rule and activate it.
Create a rule with type "Minimum cart amount"
Set the minimum to $50 (or your shipping breakeven)
Apply store-wide or to collections with heavy/bulky items
The cart warning doubles as a free shipping upsell prompt
