Wix Stores: Adding and Setting Up the Wix Checkout Requirements App

With the Checkout Requirements app, you can take control over what requirements need to be fulfilled before a customer can complete checkout. You can use the app to create 3 different types of requirements:

• Add a minimum quantity of products requirement: Prevent customers from purchasing too few of a specific item (e.g. minimum purchase is 3 vanilla candles).

• Add a maximum quantity of products requirement: Prevent customers from purchasing too many of a specific item (e.g. Purchase of vases is limited to one per order).

• Add a minimum order subtotal requirement: Orders must reach a minimum of $100.

Check out some examples of how the checkout requirement can be used in the FAQs below.

After creating one or more checkout requirements, you can easily activate or deactivate them with a click.

Step 1 | Add the Checkout Requirements app

To get started, go to the Wix App Market and add the Checkout Requirements app.

Wix Editor

Studio Editor

Dashboard

1. Go to your editor.

2. Click Add Apps  on the left side of the editor.

3. Search for the Wix Checkout Requirements app in the search bar.

4. Click Add to Site.

5. Click Go to Dashboard.

Step 2 | Create a checkout requirement

Now that you've added the app, go to your site's dashboard and create your first requirement.

You can create a single requirement or multiple ones. For example, you can create a requirement that ensures that customers must buy at least 2 candles and another requirement limiting the purchase of candles to 10 per order.

To create a checkout requirement:

1. Go to Checkout Requirements in your site's dashboard.

2. Click Add Requirement.

3. Enter a requirement name (e.g. 2-candle minimum).
   Note: Customers won't see this name.

4. Select the type of requirement you want to create:Minimum quantity of products
   Maximum quantity of products
   Minimum order subtotal
   

5. Enter the required quantity/subtotal.

6. If you selected, minimum or maximum quantity of products, select what the requirement applies to:Specific products: Only specific product(s) count towards the minimum or maximum (e.g. if you set a 2-product minimum, customers must buy 2 of each of the specific products you select).
   All products: The requirement applies separately to each product (e.g. if you set a 2-product minimum, customers must buy 2 of each product they buy, not 2 products from your shop).
   

7. If you selected Specific products in step 6, select those products.
   Tip: Start typing the product name and select it from the list.

8. Choose what happens if customers don't meet the requirement:Yes, enable checkout but show a warning message: Customers see your message explaining the requirement, but can still complete a purchase.
   No, disable checkout and show error message: Customers see your message explaining why they can't complete the purchase and cannot complete a purchase.
   

9. Enter the message text you want your customers to see.
   Tip: Make sure the message is clear and specific so that customers know what to do (see FAQ below).

FAQs

Click a question below to learn more about the app.

Where do customers see indications that they haven't met a requirement?

Customers see an indication that they haven't met a requirement on the Cart Page.

If the customer gets to the Checkout Page (e.g. by using the "Buy Now" button or because you haven't disabled checkout) they see an additional message there.

What kind of message should I display to my customers?

Make sure your message conveys to customers what they need to do - especially if you disabled the checkout option. For example:

• Order must total $100 or more.

• You must purchase a minimum of 100 items.

• Sale of this special-release item is limited to one per customer.

• Add an additional hat to the cart to checkout.

Tip: After setting up your minimum requirements and composing your message, go to your live site and try adding relevant products to your cart as though you were a customer to check if your messages are clear.

How can I activate or deactivate a requirement

Go to the Checkout Requirements page and click the Status toggle to active or deactivate it.

Can I make changes to a requirement I already created?

Yes. Go to the Checkout Requirements page, click the More Actions icon  and click Edit.

Tip: If you change a requirement, make sure to update the message text so customers know what to expect.

What are some examples of how checkout requirements are applied?

Here are some examples of checkout requirements and how they affect customers.

Minimum 2 Candles example:

This merchant wanted to make sure that any customer purchasing a candle bought at least 2 of that candle. They created a 2-candle minimum and added all their candles as specific products during setup.

When a customer adds 1 Bergamot candle and 1 Beeswax candle to the cart, they'll see your message that they need to purchase 2 of each of these to proceed.
Note: Checkout will either be blocked or not, depending on what you selected when creating the requirement.

Maximum 1 per customer example:

This merchant wanted to make sure customers limited the purchase of a specific sale rug to 1 per order.

Customers can still purchase multiple rugs. However, they can only purchase one of the rug for which a maximum quantity was set.

Note: Checkout will either be blocked or not, depending on what you selected when creating the requirement.
