<a href="https://condicart.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Conditional Add to Cart</a> lets you create rules that automatically control the “Add to Cart” button based on conditions you define. Hide the button for guests, disable it until a minimum order is met, replace it with a quote form for wholesale customers, or restrict purchases by country or user role.
Perfect for wholesale stores, B2B shops, membership sites, and any WooCommerce store with special purchasing requirements.

– Show “Minimum $50 Required” message until threshold is met 
– Custom messages for minimum order rules

<h4>How It Works</h4>
Step 1: Create a Rule 
Give your rule a descriptive name like “Disable for Guests” or “Wholesale Quote Request”.

Step 3: Set Conditions (When) 
Choose when the rule should apply: user role, cart total, login status, country, and more.
Step 4: Choose Action (Then) 
Decide what happens to the Add to Cart button: hide it, customize text and colors, replace with custom HTML, or show a quote form (Pro).
Step 5: Save & Test 
Enable the rule and test it on your store. Toggle it off anytime without deleting.
<h4>Example Rules</h4>
