<h2>Why you should choose Ultimate Order Approval</h2>
<p>By default, WooCommerce processes every order automatically, regardless of its value or risk. This leaves your store <strong>vulnerable to fraud, mistakes, and wasted resources.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ultimate Order Approval puts you back in control.</strong> With smart rules, flexible approval flows, and automated reminders, you decide which orders get approved and when customers should pay. It’s like adding a safety net to your checkout while keeping the experience smooth for genuine buyers.</p>
<p>Perfect for:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>B2B stores</strong> needing purchase validation before fulfillment.</li>
<li><strong>Custom product sellers</strong> who want to review details before production.</li>
<li><strong>Stores handling high-value orders</strong> where fraud prevention matters most.</li>
</ul>

Ultimate Order Approval

<p>Control new orders with smart approval rules based on cart contents. Flag orders for manual review and approve them before or after payment.</p>

<p>Every small order costs you money. The <strong>Minimum Order Amount for WooCommerce</strong> plugin lets you set smart order rules by product, category, user role, payment method, shipping method, and customer’s billing/shipping location (country, state, and zipcode) — so every order that reaches you is worth fulfilling.</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li>Set minimum and maximum order amounts across your entire store in under 5 minutes</li>
<li>Apply different rules by product, category, user role, payment method, and shipping method</li>
<li>Show clear cart and checkout messages that guide customers — not frustrate them</li>
<li>Fully compatible with HPOS, WooCommerce Checkout Block, and WPML</li>
</ul>
<h2>Does this sound familiar?</h2>
<p>You spend $8 fulfilling a $3 order and lose money every time. Wholesale customers order below your minimum with no restriction in place. Credit card fees eat your margin on tiny transactions. International shipping costs make small cross-border orders a loss.</p>
<p>These are not edge cases — they are structural margin leaks that compound every day you leave them unaddressed. Minimum Order Amount for WooCommerce closes them automatically.</p>
<h2>Set the rules. Protect your margins. Automatically.</h2>
<p>Minimum Order Amount for WooCommerce gives you full control over which orders are allowed through — without writing a single line of code.</p>
<h2>Advanced order amount control</h2>
<h3>Rule-based restrictions</h3>
<p>Set minimum and maximum order amounts by product, category, payment method, user role, or shipping method. Mix and match rules to match your exact business model.</p>
<h3>Global store-wide minimum</h3>
<p>Apply a single minimum order amount across your entire store with one toggle. The fastest way to lift your average order value from day one.</p>
<h3>Different rules for different customers</h3>
<p>Wholesale buyers get one minimum, retail gets another, VIP customers get an exception. All handled automatically by user role — no manual work needed.</p>
<h3>Custom cart and checkout messages</h3>
<p>Show a persistent message in the cart and a clear error at checkout. Use the <strong>{remaining}</strong> placeholder to tell customers exactly how much more they need to add.</p>
<h3>Maximum order cap</h3>
<p>Cap unusually large orders that you cannot fulfil, or route high-value B2B orders to a custom enquiry flow instead of letting them auto-checkout.</p>
<h3>HPOS and full compatibility</h3>
<p>Fully compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS), WooCommerce Checkout Block, WPML, and all major WooCommerce themes and payment plugins.</p>
<h2>Works exactly how you’d expect</h2>
<p>The settings panel is straightforward. Create a rule, choose your conditions, set your amount, and save. The plugin validates orders at cart and checkout — with no impact on browsing or product page performance.</p>
<div class="woo-sc-box normal  info ">This plugin only runs validation at cart and checkout — browsing and product page speed are completely unaffected.</div>
<h2>Built for stores like yours</h2>
<h3>Wholesale stores</h3>
<p>Enforce a $100 minimum for wholesale buyers while retail customers get a lower threshold — all managed automatically by user role, with no manual intervention.</p>
<h3>Free shipping alignment</h3>
<p>Match your minimum to your free shipping threshold so the rule feels like a reward, not a barrier. Customers are motivated to add more to their cart rather than abandon it.</p>
<h3>Payment method fees</h3>
<p>Require a minimum for credit card orders to cover processing fees, while allowing any amount via bank transfer. One rule, zero manual work.</p>
<h3>International orders</h3>
<p>Set higher minimums for international shipping zones where fulfilment costs make small orders unprofitable. Rules apply automatically based on the shipping method selected at checkout.</p>
<h3>Handmade and specialty goods</h3>
<p>Set a $50 minimum on handmade products but allow any amount on accessories. Category-level rules handle it without affecting the rest of your catalog.</p>
<h3>VIP and loyalty programs</h3>
<p>Exempt VIP customers from minimums as a loyalty perk. It costs nothing operationally and builds long-term goodwill with your highest-value buyers.</p>
