The minimum order amount for each category separately.

Hi,

Not really. You could do it in a round about way by using the minimum/maximum weight and minimum/maximum volume settings of shipping methods.
You would:
- create a set of shipping methods with a maximum weight of 1
- create a set of shipping methods with a maximum volume of 1
- create a set of shipping methods with a minimum weight of 1 and a minimum volume of 1
- set a weight of 0 and a volume of 2 in products of category 1
- set a weight of 2 and a volume of 0 in products of category 2
That way, when you have only products of category 1 in the cart, you'll get the first set of shipping methods for the cart and thus you can configure them with a minimum price of 2000.
And when you have only products of category 2 in the cart, you'll get the second set of shipping methods for the cart and thus you can configure them with a minimum price of 5000.
And when you have both types, you'll get the third set of shipping methods in the cart and you can configure them with a minimum price of 5000.

Now if you have three categories for which you want to do that, I don't see a solution. The limits system ( www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/2...limits-tutorial.html ) available in Products>Limits would allow you to easily configure this with as many categories as you want, however it only handle maximum restrictions, not minimum restrictions at the moment. So it would require some development to be able to do it with it.

Hi,

If you enter your threshold in the "minimum price" setting of your shipping methods, then they won't be available on the checkout if that minimum is not reached.
And in that case, on the "shipping" view of your checkout workflow, you'll get an error message saying that the amount is too low and it will block you from proceeding.
Supposing that your setup these minimum prices and you can still finish the order, I suppose that you must have removed the "shipping" view from the "checkout workflow" in the HikaShop configuration, and in that case, even if there is no shipping method, the system will let you finish the checkout.
So please check on that.

Hi,

You could configure a warehouse and select that warehouse for these sample products and then create shipping methods restricted to that warehouse with a minimum quantity of 5.
That way, sample products and regular products would be separated during the checkout, each group with its own shipping method selection.
And if no shipping method is found for the sample products group, the checkout will be blocked with an error message telling the user that no shipping methods were found because it requires more products (the message can be customized).
The downside of this solution is that it means that if someone purchase both sample products and regular products in the same order, he will pay shipping for each type of products (the total shipping cost will be the sum of the shipping fee for each group).

Besides this, I know BrainForge has developed a manual shipping method plugin with more options:

Maybe this plugin's advanced options might be able to help you out. I would recommend checking with them directly as I'm not familiar with the extra settings in that plugin.
