Stopping People from Checking Out with Less than 80€

[matperino]

Hello,

I saw in the Advanced User Guide that it is possible to prevent people from checking out with less than 2 Items.
Is it possible to prevent checking out with Less than 80€ order value?

Thanks,

[Mike Hughes]

It's built into V7.

Business Settings > Order > Minimum Value Limitations

thanks, I hadn't seen that option.

Unexpected Problem...

In the field "Minimum Value Limitations", I specified 80€. And I published my site.

After that I made a test order of 10€ and there was no problem... I could check out...

Any idea??

Thanks,

[Mike Hughes]

I don't have V7 so I'm not sure what you need to do to get this working. Is there a tick box somewhere you need to select to enable this?

Hi there

No there is no option to ticked, if you put a value in the Min order quantity, and update the site, then it will work globally, all products should not be able to order under the min order. Try refreshing the whole site, just in case the .fil files have not been updated.

Kind Regards

Min Order Value and Hierarchical Import

Hi,

It still doesn't work (even after refreshing the whole site!)...

My Catalog and Customers accounts In Actinic are generated through imports (Flat and Hierarchical) from .txt files.

Do you know which field in my .txt field corresponds to "Minimum Value Limitations"? (not "Min order quantity"!)


Thanks in advance!

Hello all,

I'm trying to get this to work as well. I have set a minimum order of $100, refreshed the entire site and I can still place an order for less than $100. Does ths feature work correctly. I'm on ver 7.01

Hi There,

I have tried it on a default store and when I place an order that has a value below the minimum order value, I get a message "Value of your shopping basket (£10.83) below your limit (£15.00). Please add something to your shopping basket"

Can you thry this and tell me if it still plays up with you...

1. Manually FTP to your server

2. Delete all the .pl and .pm files within your /cgi-bin/ folder

3. Delete all the .cat within your /acatalog/ folder

4. Within your local PC, please go to 'C:\Program Files\Actinic v7\Sites\Site1'

5. Delete all the .pl and .pm and .cat files here as well

6. Go to the folder 'C:\Program Files\Actinic v7\Original' and copy the .pl and .pm and paste them back into your Site1 folder

Please note: If you have made changes to any of the script files I would suggest you first backup these files and then replace them in the Site1 after replacing from the original folder.

Kind regards,

Hi,

The thing to note here is that the 'Minimum Order Value' field is for unregistered customers only. You cannot specify a minimum order value for customer accounts (only a maximum order value - which is set in the buyers tab). It has been put on the wish-list before.

There is however, a perl hack that will make that 'minimum order value field' available to only customer accounts. If you want to do this then:

Locate ActinicOrder.pm in your site folder and open it with a text editor such as notepad

Search the following:

#
# Now see what is the current order value
#

Add the following just above the comment

else
{
return ($::SUCCESS, "", "");
}

so it should look like:

else
{
return ($::SUCCESS, "", "");
}
#
# Now see what is the current order value

Hi Tracey,

Thanks for the code but I'm afraid it didn't work for me. It ends up crashing my CGI.

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:


syntax error at ao000006.pm line 4841, near "else"
Compilation failed in require at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\E-Commerce\cgi-bin\ss000006.pl line 18.

I tried it twice and when I removed the customization the site returned to normal (no error).
BTW - I did a complete site refresh to upload.

Hi,

It works for me. Here is what that whole chunk of code should look like:

if ($pBuyer->{LimitOrderValue})
			{
			$nBuyerLimit = $pBuyer->{MaximumOrderValue};
			}
}
			else
			{
		return ($::SUCCESS, "", "");
			}
	#
	# Now see what is the current order value
	#

problem...

Hi,

I tried what you suggest and I have the following error message :

Do you understand?


Thanks,

Hi Matheiu,

What is the exact version of Actinic you are using (Help | About) and I will amend the perl file and post it for you?

[BeerHunter]

Hi Tracey,

I get the exact same error. I'm on Developer version 7.0.1.1.00.EGSA
