Because of the cost to fulfill an order, you may want to accept only orders above a certain amount. You can do this through order rules by setting a minimum order amount below which customer checkout is prevented.

When an order rule is applied, the buyer must fulfill the rule to continue checking out. In the case of the minimum order amount rule, buyers must have a total or subtotal cart value set in the rule in order to check out.
