Minimum wholesale order value

A value threshold should explain when wholesale terms apply. Define the amount before designing a message about the shortfall.

Define the calculation base

Specify net or gross, discounts, delivery and currency. Decide whether all items or selected products count. Keep these decisions consistent throughout the process.

Show the shortfall

Explain the current value and amount still needed. Quantity and discount changes refresh the message. Do not encourage a threshold that a discount will immediately invalidate.

Validate in the system

The final check runs at order submission, including supported routes beyond the cart. A disabled button alone does not enforce the rule.

Test boundaries

Check below, equal and above the threshold, rounding, currencies and item removal. Respect individual account terms without silently changing everyone else's rules.

Assess customer behaviour

Review abandonment near the limit, handling cost and agreed margin. Exceptions need an explicit authorised decision. Record reasons and results when the threshold changes.
