Minimum Order Amout contribution

[zhexiang]

I saw this contribution where store owner can set a minimum limit that requires shoopers to have such minimum before allowing them to checkout... and i have installed this contirbution on my store.

 

Question is, is it really a good reason for it? I mean it's like forcing people to buy up to certain amount before allowing them to check out. I afraid it will backfire.

 

Any real life situation where doing so is appropraite?

sure ... certain payment gateways like paypal take a flat fee and a percentage for each transaction. Say you are selling stickers for 20 cents each, and paypal wants 35 cents for each CC transaction (example made up).... hardly worth it with a loss for you to see one sticker ...
