When a product is shorted into multiple categories and minimum order amounts of them are set differently, which one will be the final minimum order amount for that product?

There are two options for you to decide the final minimum order amount for a certain product in multiple categories: it will be the min or max price among different minimum order amounts for all those categories. To do so, go to System Configuration BSS Commerce Categories Minimum Amount then enable the module, at “Select children categories price” you choose Min Price or Max Price

  • Min Price: The final one will be the lowest among minimum amounts of all categories into which that product is sorted
  • Max Price: The final one will be the highest among minimum amounts of all categories into which that is sorted

When I don’t fill in a specific minimum order amount for a subcategory, does the minimum order amoun of its root category count?

This is also decided by your options: the answer can be Yes or No depending on which one you choose at the section “Select minimum order amount of parent categories” (System Configuration BSS Commerce Categories Minimum Amount)

  • Choose Yes: Minimum amount of root category will be counted as minimum amount of that subcategory
  • Choose No: Minimum order amount of root category will not be counted, which means that subcategory has no minimum order amount
