Minimum order value by country.

[NormanRouxel]

Loen Paul on the V5 forum wanted a way to alter the minimum order value depending on the Shipping Destination.

Since I've happily used their fencing equipment for 20 years I made a general purpose solution that is quite flexible. Here it is rejigged for V6:-


Setting a minimum order value by country for Catalog V6.

This will allow you to specify minimum order values for a list of selected countries
and a default minimum for countries that are not in that list.
You can have a minimum of 0 for a particular country, or for the default minimum.

In the eaxample below we have minimum order value of £10 for United Kingdom,
£20 for Germany, and £50 for any other country.

Instructions:-

Go to Catalog / Advanced / Custom Properties
Click the "+" sign and create a new CustomVar called DEFAULTMINORDER
Again click the "+" sign and create a new CustomVar called COUNTRYMINORDER
Ok out.

Choose Design / Options / Site Defaults. Look in Properties.
Select the property DEFAULTMINORDER and set it to whatever you wish you default
minimum to be in your usual currency. E.g. 50 for £50.00

Select the property COUNTRYMINORDER and set it to a comma separated list of countries and minumiums
in the following format. E.g. "United Kingdom", 10, "Germany", 20

You must obey this format exactly or you will get a server error on checking out.
Keep quotes around the country names. Use numbers ( like 10 or 12.34 )for the amounts.
The country names need to match those in the list you see when checking out.
You can have as many pairs of entries as the 256 characters that CUSTOMVAR's allow.

Ok out.

Edit OrderScript.pl (Back it up first. Use a text editor - see www.editpadlite.com if you don't have one).

Search for

sub DisplayPaymentPhase

look down some lines 'till you see

$nTotal = $SummaryResponse[6];
#
# 1) If (total == 0 || prices are off)
# If (user defined field is hidden)
#
# mark payment complete
# mark method pre-pay
# skip processing
#
# else If (user defined is not hidden)
#
# mark method pre-pay
# hide payment stuff
#


immediately after this ADD the following code



my $nMinOrder = CUSTOMVAR:DEFAULTMINORDER;
my %CountryMinOrder = (CUSTOMVAR:COUNTRYMINORDER);
my $sDelCountry = ACTINIC::GetCountryName($::g_LocationInfo{DELIVERY_COUNTRY_CODE});

if ( exists $CountryMinOrder{$sDelCountry} )
{
$nMinOrder = $CountryMinOrder{$sDelCountry};
}

if ( ($nTotal / 100) < $nMinOrder )
{
@Response = ActinicOrder::FormatPrice($nMinOrder * 100, $::TRUE, $::g_pCatalogBlob);
if ($Response[0] != $::SUCCESS)
{
return ($::FAILURE, $Response[1]);
}
return ($::FAILURE, "Minimum order value for " . $sDelCountry . " is " . $Response[2]);
}



Save and update your site and that's that.

You can maintain the countries and minimums by altering the Custom Properties DEFAULTMINORDER and
COUNTRYMINORDER in Design / Options / Site Defaults.



It's also attached in case the forum munges the above.
